“But none of us are called to sacrifice others to safeguard ourselves, no matter how important we may seem. The proper position of leadership is in front, partaking in the dangers of the lowliest of soldiers. This is what Jesus did, and it is the height of foolishness. May we, in our weakness, be granted to access such heights.”

“In my quest in attaining self awareness. I came across something that shocked me, that inflicting pains emotionally, physically and maybe psychologically is one easy process towards attaining glory. I have made decisions that pained me, took some steps that chopped off my legs, stake some highs that brought me down but one thing has always remained my quest for perfection cause my failures didn't pull me down and can never. My failures gave me reasons to see that a part of me is human and the other part is god and until I allow the god part of me to manifest in its full potential I will not amount anything and the most annoying part is that this god part seeks daring, sacrifices, pains and most of all glory for glory ends it all. Every teacher, every spiritual leader, every religious leader knows this. We can not attain glory except by pain. I have accepted mine and glory is on the way.”

“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.”
