Servitude is Sanctitude Quotes

“Once you stand up against all odds to lift up your society, with pure, uncorrupt, unconditional love, even the mountains will bow before your determination, the oceans will come rushing to wash the dusts and thorns of your feet, and the wind will create torrents of breeze to soothe you.”

“People still get shot because of their color - people still get mistrusted because of their religion - people still get sneered at because of their gender and sexuality. Does this look like a civilized world? We may have the tangible brain capacity to build a civilized world, but we are not there yet, and we are not going to reach that destination any time soon. However, the work must begin now.”

“There are two selves in us all - one self is amateur, foolish and selfish - that self says, 'I am all, my word is supreme, my belief is the highest, my opinions are the best' - then there is another self, which is wise, caring and conscientious - it says, 'I am nothing, I am the servant of people, my interest is in benefiting others, my life is their keepsake'.”

“All humans are my sisters and brothers. My life is meaningful only if the people of earth can find meaning for their own life in it. I have no side - I have no sect - I have no exclusive belief - for I am universal, I am omnipresent, I am omnipotent. Wherever there is a human who works through failures, there lives a Naskar - wherever there is a human who lends a caring hand to those in distress, there lives a Naskar. But it’s irrelevant whether I am called Naskar or Christ or Buddha or Shankara or Shams or anything else - what matters is that the force behind these names is one and the same - it's the force of love - it's the force of service - it's the force of sacrifice.”

“Everybody knows that the world lacks harmony, but the question is, what do they do about it - all they do is talk, talk and talk, without realizing. It's of no use to talk of harmony, you must live harmony - and to live harmony, you must abandon all barriers that keep you from it, including those that you hold most dear.”

“Jeg er Menneskelig (Sonett) Du spurte, hva er min nasjon, Jeg sier det er menneskelighet. Du spurte, hva er språket mitt, Jeg sier det er godhet. Du spurte, hva er min kultur, Jeg sier det er vennlighet. Du spurte, hva er min tradisjon, Jeg sier det er ydmykhet. Du spurte, hva er kjønnet mitt, Jeg sier det er tapperhet. Du spurte, hva er min religion, Jeg sier det er uselviskhet. Du spurte alt bortsett fra målet mitt i livet. Jeg sier deg nå, det er for å forene universet.”
