      Gems Swamishri :
    • No matter how much we may endeavor, but if one does not have the grace of God on the holy sadhu one does not attain success. (17 Sept 02)
    • God is great, whereas we are infinitesional. We cannot meet God through human effort, but only through God's grace. (17 Sept 02)
    • God's power is the greatest of all powers. Through His power our works are accomplished and we attain peace and happiness. (19 Sept 02)
    • God comes to dissolve our base nature, whereas our actions are such that they increase our base nature. (21 Sept 02)
    • One who does bad or evil things never hope benefits. God finds a solution to this for He is the dispenser of justice. (25 Sept 02)
    • Our principle is to live and let live. But an evil person's principle is to kill and live.
    • To live means to offer devotion to God, to help a person and to work for society, country and God (25 Sept 02)
