The money is nice, but I am not in this game for the money.
Don't aspire to make a living, aspire to make a difference.
In the future, I would like to become a missionary. I'd like to go to countries where I have received much love as a musician and personally return all of that love.
As long as I see anything to be done for God, life is worth having; but O how vain and unworthy it is to live for any lower end!
I don't ever want to take a part in order to prove that I'm capable of doing something. It's all based in doing stuff that's interesting or working with people who would be fun to work with.
What do you want to do sadhana for? The aim should not be the satisfaction of egoism: "I want to be a great yogi; I shall have so much power and with that power I shall establish myself in the world." All such thoughts must be thrown far away.
I believe we are most likely to succeed when ambition is focused on noble and worthy purposes and outcomes rather than on goals set out of selfishness.
People say it's not ambitious, but it is actually quite ambitious wanting to help people.
