Outwardly we can bring about a response. We can help the poor to become better. All that is social work.

When I wake up in the morning – the first thing that I recognise is that I exist. And then the world exists –I see everything around.

We say ‘God created man in his own image’. Our idea is that, ‘Man creates God in his own image.’

The Upanishad says that Supreme Truth or Reality is not a thing in the past – it is right Here and Now! Because it is right here, all our acquired knowledge cannot be applied to that Supreme Being.
