- The Bible reveals that God created man in His image and His likeness.
- This human body enables us to perform devotional service.
- We must have an inquisitive attitude and humor, just as scientists do.
- It is not possible to conquer death and become immortal; thus, we go through a cycle of birth and death.
- We are not the body; we are the soul, and it is the soul that makes this body function.
- Everything that exists has an intrinsic nature; in the case of the soul, its nature is to serve the Lord.
- The soul is so small that our material eyes cannot see it.
- The size of the soul corresponds to the tip of a hair divided by 100.
- Even if we study the soul and hear about it many times, we will not understand.
- When we receive the Lord’s mercy, we will be able to see our soul; this happens through a descending process.
- To receive the Lord’s mercy, we must chant the Holy Names.
- Both the Bible, the Quran, and the Vedas bring the same conclusions, but with different explanations.
- God invested all His powers in His sweet Holy Names.
- Even if everyone is fighting in this world saying, “This is mine, this is yours,” we must understand that, in truth, everything belongs to God.
- We bring nothing to this world, and we will take nothing from it.
- Chant the Holy Names, and self-realization will come.
