Actually you can live very simply. You don’t need so many things. Modern society, they have given the idea that you need so many things: unless you have twenty pairs of shoes you can’t survive. It’s not true. You don’t need so many things. You don’t need so many different clothes and you certainly don’t need TV.

Life is possible without TVs. It’s possible, and actually it’s much better. I can say, maybe twenty-seven years I haven’t watched TV. Yes, I am still alive. You can touch me; I’m not a ghost.

We should live our life moment by moment with integrity, simplicity and honesty.
To the degree our actions are selfish, it cannot satisfy the heart. A selfless act is that in which we are truly giving ourselves for the object of our love.
Wherever we find the teachings, the association and the inspiration to purify our lives, to lead a life of integrity and humility and to live in a spirit of selfless service—that’s where we are going to find the deepest experience of God.
