“The word "seva" means selfless service. It means to be a servant of God. A servant of God is ready to serve existence. A servant of God is ready to worship God through service. Real worship is service. it is to pour your love where it is needed, on the trees, on the birds, on the stones, on the animals and on human beings. Everybody has an inexhaustible inner source of love. Love is our true nature. Love is a healing force. Wherever you find suffering, pour and shower your love. Love heals. Love heals not only the person you shower love on, it heals you too. When you see somebody becoming whole, a great joy arises in you. Service is creativity. And by serving existence, you come closer to God. Love, laugh, make people happy and share whatsoever you have. Share your being. That is the way of the healer. Then God is bound to come to you. He always comes to people, who have fulfilled the basic requirement: unconditional love. That is true service.”

“Man tries in every possible way to achieve joy and happiness. Man tries to achieve joy and happiness through accumulating money, by becoming powerful and by becoming knowledgeable. But these ways are doomed to fail, because they will not bring joy and happiness to you. Joy and happiness comes only in one way and that is by becoming conscious. The more you are conscious, the more you become happy. The less conscious you are, the more miserable you are. The more conscious you are, the more you feel at home and you are happy and joyous. You can feel the beauty of life. You are more open, loving and the world seems to be your home. The way of of awareness means the effort to become more and more conscious. Slowly, your consciousness becomes larger and larger. You become more and more joyful and happy. We are like small buds, but effort is needed to become conscious and become a flower. Unconsciousness have been our habit for so many lives that it has almost become our nature. From this moment take the decision to become more and more conscious in everything you do, in everything you think and in everything you feel. In these three dimensions you have to become conscious and aware. Then the fourth dimension arises, which is our inner being, our true nature, our consciousness. Once you have learned to come in contact with your inner being, you know the art of happiness.”

“Discovering the true beauty of the world becomes elusive when our perception remains confined solely to the limitations of our own eyes. However, as the veils of illusion are lifted from our minds, a profound sweetness emerges, beckoning our attention towards the depths of our hearts. In this inward journey, we encounter a presence both substantial and weightless, surpassing the superficiality of mere visual observation. It's a richness that resonates from the very core of our being, a melody echoing from the depths of our souls. As we embrace the spectrum of experiences molding us, we ignite a flame within ourselves, one that has the power to engulf our souls in a final, exhilarating blaze of joy. It's the amalgamation of colors, emotions, and transformations that fuels this fire, propelling us towards a state of revelation and profound understanding.”

“We forget that there is no hope of joy except in human relations. If I summon up those memories that have left with me an enduring savor, if I draw up the balance sheet of the hours in my life that have truly counted, surely I find only those that no wealth could have procured me. True riches cannot be bought.”
