The Musings of the Mahatma Answers for our Times Adapted with grateful thanks by

The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

If we are to teach real peace in this world, and if we are to carry on a real war against war, we shall have to begin with the children.

I look only to the good qualities of men. Not being faultless myself, I won't presume to probe into the faults of others.

There is a sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed.

It has always been a mystery to me how men can feel themselves honored by the humiliation of their fellow beings.

In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.

To give service to a single heart by a single act is better than a thousand heads bowing in prayer.

You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.

You
must be the change

you
wish to see in the world.
