“In the mundane plane, every unit wants to exploit the environment, whereas in the plane of dedication every unit wants to serve the environment; the real key to the life of that plane is to serve the Centre. We are living in an organic whole, so every point must be true to the organic Centre.”
_{— Swami B.R. Sridhar}

“Where is beauty? Beauty is in the heart. We see beauty through the love and affection in our heart. … When your heart’s eyes are decorated with love and affection, then everything in front of you appears very beautiful. The vision necessary to see universal beauty comes to us through devotion.”
_{— Swami B.S. Govinda}

“The innermost hankering of every living soul is for beauty, love, affection, and harmony; not for power, knowledge, or anything else. This is the diagnosis of the whole creation in time and space: their common cause is one.”
