Moral and spiritual principles have to be emphasised all along, even while merely material subjects are taught and learnt. (SSS Vol.13)

There is a need for individuals in society to be truthful in thought, word and deed. The spiritual principle dearly warns those who mouth slogans of peace but indulge in acts inimical to peace. Human life can be truly understood only in the context of harmony and co-operation. For this to be realised, one must engage oneself in service to society. Such service is rooted in spiritual faith. (SSS Vol.16)

In this vast cosmos, you must develop a universal outlook based on an understanding of the spiritual principle. You cannot aspire for the spiritual from a narrow point of view. All forms of worship and meditation, which are regarded as spiritual exercises, are in fact mental excursions intended to please the mind. God is described as father, mother, brother, friend and so on. But all these are unnecessary epithets if it is recognised that we and God are one. You are in God and God is in you. There is no room for the feeling of duality. (SSS Vol.23)

It is only atma-tattvam (spiritual principle) that reveals the oneness of the universe. The entire cosmos has emanated from the atma. (SSS Vol.28)

As the human body collapses without the spinal column, so also human life sinks without morality and spirituality. The spinal column is made of thirty-three rings, and it supports the entire human body. Similarly, moral and spiritual principles constitute the very rings of the backbone of human life. (SSB 1996, p. 12)

Bharat has been conferring lasting peace and happiness on peoples of all lands, over generations, through the impact of the spiritual principles it has cherished. The ideal for which this land has striven has been,  ‘May all the worlds be happy and prosperous,’ - Lokah Samasta Sukhino Bhavantu. (V Vahini, p. 19)
