“The kingdom of God is just behind the darkness of closed eyes, and the first gate that opens to it is your peace.”

Those who are unconquered in spirit are the real successes in life. If you can so train or condition your mind that you are content regardless of what you have or do not have, and if you can stand the challenge of all your trials and remain calm-that is true happiness.

Whenever you want to produce something, do not depend upon the outside source: go deep and seek the Infinite Source.

Since you alone are responsible for your thoughts, only you can change them.

A genuine smile distributes the cosmic current, Prana to every body cell.The happy man is less subject to disease, for happiness actually attracts into the body a greater supply of the Universal life energy.

Live quietly in the moment and see the beauty of all before you. The future will take care of itself.

As a broken microphone cannot broadcast a message, so a restless mind cannot transmit prayers to God

A smooth life is not a victorious life.

It is spiritual poverty, not material lack, that lies at the core of all human suffering.

If you permit your thoughts to dwell on evil you yourself will become ugly. Look only for the good in everything so you absorb the quality of beauty.

Freedom means the power to act by soul guidance, not by the compulsions of desires and habits. Obeying the ego leads to bondage; obeying the soul brings liberation.

If you are in a dark room, don’t beat at the darkness with a stick, but rather try to turn on the light

Remain calm, serene, always in command of yourself. You will then find out how easy it is to get along.

Beginning with the early dawn of each day, I will radiate joy to everyone I meet. I will be mental sunshine for all who cross my path. Before the unfailing light of my cheer, darkness will take flight.

You do not have to struggle to reach God, but you do have to struggle to tear away the self-created veil that hides him from you

When you learn to get along with yourself, you will know how to get along with everybody.

Truths are not truths to you unless you realize them within yourself. Without realization, they are just ideas. For spiritual perception, spiritual consciousness, lies not in vague theological ideas, but in the acquisition of Self-realization.

Let us not close our hearts, let us not look away.

To draw, you must close your eyes and sing.

Call me friend, but keep me closer.

Laughter is very close to tears and vice versa.

Write with the door closed, rewrite with the door open.

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.

I am learning to live close to the lives of my friends without ever seeing them. No miles of any measurement can separate your soul from mine.

So I love you because I know no other way than this: where I does not exist, nor you, so close that your hand on my chest is my hand, so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.
