Are You Really Your Body? – Quotes By Siddhaswarupananda Paramahamsa
Note: Let me ask you a few simple questions: Do you exist at this moment? Did you exist five years ago? Are you your body? Most people would answer “yes” to all three questions. But if you identify your body as yourself, and simultaneously accept that you exist now and also existed five years ago, then you have a problem: The body you had five years ago does not exist today.

Siddhaswarupananda Paramahamsa: Inner peace – social harmony – self realisation
Note: Result of identifying self with the body: "If you believe that you are your body, you will strive endlessly to give your body sensual pleasure. You will struggle to fill up your inner emptiness with fleeting sensual flashes. But no amount of sensual pleasure will satisfy you. No matter how many taste orgasms, sexual orgasms, and other kinds of orgasms you may have, you still won't be actually satisfied. You’ll always have a never ending desire for more.”

Quotes of Jagad Guru Chris Butler On Harmony
Note: History has shown us that our tendency to colonize and exploit other regions has always backfired. This planet can be made a happier, more peaceful place to live in, but the change will have to come from within the hearts of all of us living here.

Jagad Guru Chris Butler's Quotes On Spiritual Progress
Note: If a person engages in the process of bhakti yoga and yet continues to engage in activities that are detrimental to spiritual progress, his spiritual progress will be very slow. This does not mean that a person must be completely free of all bad habits before he can even begin the process of bhakti yoga.

Environmental Awareness Education
Note: There is a great need for each and every person to become aware of the need for environmental protection. Just as any person inhabiting a house or room has to learn to care for their little space there in, each of us who inhabit this earth and sustain our lives from the bounty of the earth should Know that it is our duty to take care of Mother nature.
