The Musings of the MahatmaAnswers for our Times
Adapted with grateful thanks by Prof. V. Viswanadham
The best way
to find yourself
is to lose yourself
in the service of others.
Happiness is
when what you think,
what you say,
and
what you do
are in harmony.
If we are to teach
real peace
in this world, and
if we are to carry on
a real war
against war,
we shall have to begin with the children.
I look only to the good qualities of
men.
Not being faultless myself,
I won't presume to probe into the faults
of others.
There is a sufficiency
in the world for man's need
but not for
man's greed.
It has always been a mystery to me how men can feel themselves honored by the humiliation of their fellow beings.
In prayer
it is better
to have a heart without words
than words without a heart.
To give service to a single heart by a single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer.
You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.
You
must be the change
you
wish to see
in the world.
