Neem Karoli Baba and God

Neem Karoli Baba (1900-1973) was an Indian Hindu guru. Wikipedia says,
"[Baba] would advise people to surrender to God's will above everything else so that they might develop love and faith in him and thereby be free of unnecessary worries in life."
The rest of this post is some quotes from Baba.

God


"All religions are the same. They all lead to God. God is everybody." (AZQuotes.com)

"It's better to see God in everything than to try to figure it out." (AZQuotes.com)

"The best service you can do is to keep your thoughts on God. Keep God in mind every minute." (AZQuotes.com)

Desire


"If you want to see God, kill desires. Desires are in the mind. When you have a desire for something, don't act on it and it will go away. If you desire to drink think cup of tea, don't, and the desire for it will go away." (AZQuotes.com)

"This world is all attachment. Yet you get worried because you are attached." (AZQuotes.com)

"It is very difficult to know exactly what good should come out of a particular situation. To attempt to manipulate circumstances so you idea of good can come about, is to let the ego play God - and that, as you know, can and does backfire." (AZQuotes.com)
