Some more interesting points that I heard at Swami Nithyananda's Workshop:
On Sanskrit:
Sanskrit words are phonetic.
The Sanskrit words include vibrations/feelings.
eg: A child first learns the M sound hence he calls his mother: Mama, Mummy, Ama Ami...
That is why it is said that even if one does not understand 'Mantras'the vibrations of the Mantras will have a positive effect.

On God's jobs:
God Creates
God sustains
God destroys
God adds Illusion (Maya) to His Creation
God liberates one from Maya and gives Liberation

Only in the last job man's co-operation is required.

I have heard:
There are 3 durlabh (difficult) things to attain
1) Maanas Shareer (A Human body)
2) An interest in Spiritual matters
3)A Spiritual Guide with whom one is able to connect.

The point I am making:
Let us not waste our Life and Time which is so precious...If one cannot give joy, let us not give grief...
