“Just as our bodies need proper food to live and develop, our souls need love to blossom. The strength and nourishment that love can give our souls is even more potent than the nourishing power of a mother’s milk for a baby.”

“The integrity, beauty and fragrance of future society should be expressed through mothers. The mother is the first teacher. As such, she is the one who can influence a child the most. Whatever the mother does, the child will imbibe. A mother’s breast milk does more than nourish just the baby’s body. It also develops the baby’s mind, intellect and heart. Similarly, the life values a mother transmits to her child give it strength and courage in the future.”

“Saying that what we call our “selves” consist only of our bodies and that reason, soul, and love arise only from the body, is like saying that what we call our body is equivalent to the food that feeds the body. It is true that my body is only made up of digested food and that my body would not exist without food, but my body is not the same as food. Food is what the body needs for life, but it is not the body itself. The same thing is true of my soul. It is true that without my body there would not be that which I call my soul, but my soul is not my body. The soul may need the body, but the body is not the soul.”

“The nourishment of our souls comes from the smiles of others.”

“Our dedication to good actions as human beings is what most nourishes our souls”

“Just as food (bhojan) nourishes the body, Bhajan (chanting the divine name) nourishes the mind.”

“You cannot have power for good without having power for evil too. Even mother's milk nourishes murderers as well as heroes.”

“Remember that your brain is no more developed by the thoughts your husband thinks than your body is nourished by the food your husband eats.”

“We must never stop dreaming. Dreams provide nourishment for the soul, just as a meal does for the body.”

“The soul needs more space than the body.”
