"Sri Krishna, in the Gita, says, 'Ours is the right to work, but not to the fruits thereof.' He means, it does not concern us whether our work ends in success or failure, whether it brings us praise or censure, whether it results in gain or loss… We have simply to do the work as a Yajna to Him, who is the Lord of all works. If we are affected by the results, pleasure or pain, our work is not Nishkama, and hence not consecrated to the Lord.

"You simply play the part that Prakriti has set for you. Play it out as Her work. When She chooses to change the game, you slip naturally into the change. You have no right to judge if the work She has put you to, is proper or improper, right or wrong. No discarding it! It is simply Her work and you do it."

"Work is the nature of our being, just as the giving out of perfume is the nature of a flower. What do we care what the world says about it? And, why should we? We find joy in the work itself, because it is a spontaneous offering to the Lord of our being. Let us not, on the results of our actions, like or dislike anybody, but love all; because He is all."

"The ego is as unreal as the shadow, a mere thing of ignorance and darkness. This ego is the satan of Christ, Mara of Buddha, Kama of Shiva, Maya of Vedanta, and Ajnana or ignorance of other creeds. He who has crossed the boundaries of this ignorance has come face to face with God, the immortal peace and bliss. The pathway to Him is strewn with the flowers of compassion, mercy and love. Let us walk this path."

"May Sri Ram bless you all. Sri Ram's name is sweeter than nectar. To repeat it is to set the fount of immortal joy working within you. What a wonderful Name!"

"No change of situation can bring us peace and rest unless, simultaneously with the change, the ego-sense of actorship also vanishes away."
