\"The Hindu considers all of mankind his brothers and sisters, all created by the same Creator, all destined to the same attainment.\" - Gurudeva

\"It is by means of worship of and meditation on God that our self-created sufferings are softened and assuaged. God is the God of all--of the believers within all religions, and of the nonbelievers, too.\"

\"A better word than death is transition, passing into a new form of life--life into life. It is similar to moving to a new country, having completed all of one\

s tasks. Death is a closing of the door on deeds well done, on all beneficial karmas.\"'

\"Turn awareness back in on itself and simply be aware that you are aware. Try to penetrate the core of existence.\"

\"Wisdom and pure knowledge, happiness and joy are the intrinsic nature of the soul.\"

\"The goal is to realize God Siva in His absolute, or transcendent, state, which when realized is your own ultimate state--timeless, formless, spaceless Truth.\"
