Real intelligence is not just the ability to process information. Intelligence is the ability to discriminate between the short- term and the long- term, the material and the spiritual and the harmful and the beneficial.

Real satsang is the association of those who have sadachara. The ability to responsibly manage our own emotions and maturely respond to the emotions of others comes by observing and imbibing the example of selfless saints

Our daily spiritual discipline, sadhana, rejuvenates us through contact with God and helps us stay focused on our life's goals - spiritual and material The easiest and most effective sadhana in the current cosmic age is chanting of the holy names of God
