I do not believe in a fate that falls on men however they act; but I do believe in a fate that falls on them unless they act.
Year’s end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us.
A leader has to be a samadarshi, one who sees everyone as being equal; satyadarshi, who moves with the Truth; paradarshi, who is transparent in action; doordarshi, being broad-minded and a visionary; and priyadarshi, embodying love and compassion.
Your hills, O Earth, your snow-clad mountain peaks, your forests, may they show us kindliness… Impart to us vitalising forces that come, O Earth from deep within your body, your central point, your navel, purify us wholly.
I have come to light the lamp of love in your hearts, to see that it shines day by day with added lustre.
