have no powers. I don't know anything." |

am the father of the world. The whole world is my child." Link |

God or Hanuman. I'm just an ordinary being. I can do nothing." |
| "Love
all men as God, even if they hurt you or shame you. Be like Gandhi and
Christ." |
| "The
great sadhus don't have a human body. They are omnipresent. If a saint
changes form, he doesn't necessarily have to take on a human body. The
soul is the small form and the human body is the huge form." |
If
you want to see God, kill desires. Desires are in the mind. When you
have a desire for something, don't act on it and it will go away. If
you desire to drink this cup of tea, don't, and the desire for it will
fall away." |

India, yoga flows with the blood of the people." |

a man has reached the point where he can sit in meditation for six
months, there is no need of eating, no need of latrine or of rest. Only
one drop of amrit nectar from the top of the head to the body keeps him
alive. If a tiger eats that body there is no care, but only when the
life comes back to the body will there be pain." |

Greed, Anger, Attachment - These are all paths to hell." |

is the strongest block to realization." |
| "Serve
as Hanuman served" |

all women as mothers, serve them as your mother. When you see the
entire world as the mother, the ego falls away." |

pure woman is better than a hundred yogis. Women are more open to love
God." |

are higher than yogis if they are loyal to their husbands." |

wife must serve God by serving her husband." |
| "A
woman is a snake; you shouldn't even touch her." |
"If
husband is happy, God is happy" |
| "Marriage
is more attachment. You need more devotion and discipline to have union
with God when you are married." |
"If
you desire a mango at the moment of death, you'll be born an insect. If
you even desire the next breath, you will take birth again." |
| "It
doesn't matter if you are married or not, it only matters how much you
love God." |
He
chided: "This world is all attachment. Yet you get worried because you
are attached." |
Yad karane se
ham ajate hain
When you remember me I come to you
|
| "Temples
are but piles of stones. Attachment holds you back." |
"Keep
God in your heart like you keep money in the bank." |
| "Work
is worship" |
"If
you do not make it empty, how will you fill it up again?" |

you loan money to a saint, don't expect to get it back." |

to help others." |

shock." |
"The
eyes of a saint are always concentrated on the supreme self. The minute
he is aware of himself, sainthood is lost." |

asked how the heart could be purified, Maharaj-ji said, "Always speak
the truth." |
"The
guru must know everything about you." |
| "You
can leave me. I won't leave you. Once I catch hold of you, I don't let
go." |
"Serve
the poor and remember God. You become one with Christ." |
"Saints
did Jap (japa) and Sadhana for 10,000 years..., only then they could
succeed in Jap, Meditation and Yoga. But people want to be expert

worship God is every form." |

each other, you cannot achieve your
goal." |

strongest block to realization." |

old." |

impermanent, except the love of God." |
