Swami: "Youth is not a physical age of the body, it is the mental power which is more important. It is the will power which you obtain from God. With all that Will-power you can achieve anything"
(Dharma for Life, page 14)
2) Swami! What should be the qualities of youth?
Swami: "Every youth must make an effort to generate confidence in himself and he can then enjoy happiness and bliss. He should then be prepared to sacrifice for the good of others. This will lead him to self-realisation. The youth must learn the art of renunciation, they must acquire character, these are the two eyes that can guide him safely through life"
(Dharma for Life, pages 15-16)
3) Swami! To whom should we render our seva ?
Swami: "Today the needs of the poor in the rural areas are quite great. In this situation, you must go out in the villages, organise service activities and encourage the rural population to participate in them. The village folk should be told the importance of health and hygience and how to keep their homes and villages clean and healthy"
(Grama Seva is Rama Seva, page 28)
Swami: "You should become Swami's instrument. You should become the beloved of Swami. You should take each step in keeping with Swami's step. You should stand by Swami as his companions, like his shadow. I am in need of such persons. They are the very embodiments of my Love!"
(Dharma for Life, page 30)
"I expect from you only one thing, that you should transform yourselves into ideal children full of Bliss, the very embodiments of Atma, proving all this to the world by your behaviour and conduct in your life"
(Prema Dhara page 76-77)
