Quotes of Maharaji speaking at events all over the globe.

• And it is only when people will know that there is a thing like the heart in their own bosom will they ever realise that there is a reason for being kind and considerate. People have become of stone. The only thing they realise that they carry in their bosom is not a heart but a rock. And they treat every being and species on the face of this Earth like it was made out of a rock.
• It would be wonderful if human beings respected themselves, each other and nature. It would be wonderful if there were no wars, if there were no hunger, suffering, or ignorance. It would be wonderful if human beings knew and loved peace. And it would be beautiful if people did not have to lie to protect themselves.
• If you could see your own movie, you would learn so much. You would learn to be true to the truest thing within.

• Simplicity is not an invention. Joy is not an invention. The love that you seek is not an invention. These are the basics of every single human being.

• If life is just sandwiched between birth and death, then why is there appreciation for seeing a sunrise? What is the meaning of it? Why does it look so beautiful? Scientifically speaking, nothing looks beautiful. These are explainable occurrences. But every single language in the world has the word “beautiful.” Every language has the words “thank you.”
• You want to see the beautiful? Yes, you do. Ever wonder what inspires you to see the beautiful? Then, it is the beauty in you. Don’t you want to see that beauty that inspires you to see the beauty? And what does it take, to admire, the truest beauty? Then it takes a way to be able to go within. And that’s what I offer.
