Every action will produce a certain kind of consequence in our lives. If you can handle any kind of consequence joyfully, do whatever you please, but when things go wrong or when things become unpleasant, you are going to suffer, if that is your case then you must, you know, regulate the activity that you perform.
If you do things with willpower, you may get to do things, but at the end of the day you will have a long face. Instead of trying to do this with willpower, you do it with devotion, you do it with love. Not because you have to do, but because you really want to do
If you stir up the humanity within you, you will do the most sensible thing that's needed for that moment and that's all that matters that your actions are in context with the realities in which you exist. And the context is always changing

Every single action that we perform on this planet springs from an aspiration to be happy because that is your original nature
If your goal and actions are right, and you keep going the same way, then the same people who are talking about you, the same people who are criticizing you, will venerate you in ten years' time. That is how life is.
With every transaction we have with each other, what is my profit is your loss, and what is my loss is your profit. It is always give-and-take; someone makes a little more, someone a little less. This is bound to happen. If we get angry and disturbed within ourselves whenever we make a little less in a transaction, peace is not going to happen.
A peaceful being does not mean a passive being. Especially the youth of the world tend to understand peace as passivity, and violence as action. That's not true. You can be very peaceful within yourself and still do whatever is needed. In fact, whatever is needed can be done well only if you are peaceful within yourself
When you are in pursuit of happiness, you are in desperate action. When someone is in desperate action, you can't tell him not to do this or that. He will find devious ways to do it
It's always better to handle things around you, rather than trying to handle things somewhere else, because then, you'll just dissipate your energies. You'll waste your life talking about it; not doing anything about it.
Only if you have known intense action can you know inaction. People who are always resting in their life must be experts about rest, isn't it? But that is not the truth. Only a man who works intensely can know what rest is.

Before you act, you have freedom, but after you act, the effect of that action will follow you whether you want it to or not. That is the law of karma.
Trials do not come to destroy you, but to help you appreciate God better. God does not send those trials. They are of your own making—the effects of conscious or unconscious actions in the past, somewhere, sometime
Whatever you give out, you will attract in kind. What you are will show in your countenance and actions, and others will feel the underlying vibration and respond accordingly
True freedom consists in performing all actions - eating, reading, working, and so forth - in accordance with right judgment and choice of will, not in being compelled by habits

Integrity is not about the action but its purpose. Are you doing it for everyone's wellbeing or for your own benefit?
If you have children, first of all, you have to establish integrity. Your words and your actions should match.
When a person suffers, it is natural for another person to be sensitive to his suffering. This much sensitivity and this much humanity exists in everyone. But we have put our sensitivity and our humanity out of action
Morality and ethics automatically emerge when we realize the long term consequences of our actions
Everyone has good intentions. Everyone believes they're doing it for someone or something else. The only true measures are actions and results.
Karma means material action, that which is instigated by egoistic desire. It sets into motion the law of cause and effect. The action produces a result that binds itself to the doer until the cause is compensated by the appropriate effect
Karma is the law of action or cosmic justice, based upon cause and effect. Your every act, good or bad, has a specific effect on your life. The effects of actions in this life remain lodged in the subconsciousness
