The whole world is a dream; even this (the waking state) is a dream … What you dreamt last night does not exist now.

You see, my son, it is not a fact that you will never face dangers. Difficulties always come, but they do not last forever. You will see that they pass away like water under a bridge.

I tell you one thing. If you want peace of mind, do not find fault with others. Rather see your own faults. Learn to make the whole world your own. No one is a stranger, my child; the whole world is your own.

Call on the Lord who pervades the entire universe. He will shower His blessings upon you.

I am the mother of the righteous, I am the mother of the wicked as well. Never fear. Whenever you are in distress, just say to yourself ‘I have a mother’.

— Sarada Devi (22 December 1853 – 20 July 1920)
