"Just as the rough stone becomes smooth in the company of the gentle water, so all the rough edges of your heart will grow smooth in the company of the right teaching, the right teacher, and fellow aspirants.” Some philosophies tell you not to think, to blank your mind, but the Jain Masters encourage thinking. "Whatever we see in the world which is beautiful and useful is the result of inspired thinking. Thinking and living are two wings. You cannot fly on only one. As we go on thinking 'How can I make my life beautiful and meaningful?' our living changes. As we go on making changes in our living, our thinking changes."
Gurudev is a consciousness committed to selftransformation. His talks, which are his own meditations spoken aloud, transform him; in the process, they transform his listeners. As he penetrates his own heart and shares his deepest concerns, he penetrates others. There is a transcendent unifying effect. It is possible for all souls to be brought to the same frequency, to vibrate in unison and merge as one.
