Author of quotes: Ananda Marga Charyacharya

If necessary, men and women can communicate, sit side by side, take part in meetings and meetings, but they should not engage in empty talk, because such talk is not useful. It must be remembered that a woman's friend is a woman, and a man's friend is a man. The less close the relationship between a man and a woman is, the more carefully it is necessary to monitor the courtesy and politeness of conversation and behavior.

The best way to serve a beggar is to feed him. If there is no cooked food in the house, food (grains, bread, beans or vegetables) can be given. If he needs medical help, clothes or shelter, also provide all this, because as long as there is a problem of poverty and the state is not willing to take responsibility for its solution, this responsibility lies with the head of the family. You should not encourage begging, but you should not allow a person in really distress to starve to death. Don't give money to a beggar to discourage begging.

It is much more important to apply at least one lesson in life than to listen to many. You must learn and put into practice all the lessons that life teaches you.

Before you kill a bird or animal for food, consider a hundred times whether you can save your life without killing.

Do not offend an honest person even in small things.

Do not jump to conclusions about the virtues and shortcomings of people and do not rush to share your opinion. The slightest mistake in your conclusions or judgments can cause considerable harm to society.

Try to listen to all the advice, but use only the best of them. At the same time, the person whose advice you found unacceptable should not get the impression that he is not taken seriously or that his opinion does not matter to you, society or organization.

Be an example of a real man by marrying a defenseless and homeless woman. Do not, under any circumstances, let her lead an unworthy life.

Try, as far as possible, to forgive others for mistakes. However, if you see that a person's behavior is really anti-social, you must change his character, taking the most severe measures if necessary. Remember that the person himself is not an enemy to you, but his behavior is hostile to your society.

The position “I don’t know” is the starting point of any knowledge. Only by admitting one's ignorance can one gain some knowledge. This ability is an essential character trait of a true spiritual seeker.

The single, formless and beginningless infinite Parama Brahma (higher Consciousness) is the only essence that every living being should strive to acquire. He and no one else is the Jagat Guru (supreme teacher) and it is He who, through the name and physical form of Anandamurtiji, has made brahmavidya (intuitive science) available to us. It is necessary to make all beings realize His greatness.

Remember that you have obligations, moreover, you are indebted to every creature in this universe. But in relation to you, no one has any obligations, no one owes you anything.

Remember that with each person you are connected by bonds of love, not fear. You will definitely get the recognition of those who love you.

Remember that you have no right to rest until every person in this universe has accepted the Ananda Marga ideology.
