“There is a state when words cease and silence prevails.”

If you approach the ocean with a cup, you can only take away a cupful; if you approach it with a bucket you can take away a bucketful.

Grace is ever present. All that is necessary is that you surrender to it.

There is neither creation nor destruction, neither destiny nor free will, neither path nor achievement. This is the final truth.

There is no seeing. Seeing is only being.

A realized one sends out waves of spiritual influence in his aura, which draw many people towards him. Yet he may sit in a cave and maintain complete silence.

The thing to do is to concentrate on the seer and not on the seen, not on the objects, but on the Light which reveals them.

To know one’s Self is to be blissful always.

The activity affected by causes like fainting, sleep, excessive joy, grief, possession by spirits, fear etc goes to the heart, its own place.

Food affects the mind. For the practice of any kind of yoga, vegetarianism is absolutely necessary since it makes the mind more pure and harmonious.

The state of self-realization, as we call it, is not attaining something new or reaching some goal which is far away, but simply being that which you always are and which you always have been.

Silence is most powerful. Speech is always less powerful than silence.

True silence is really endless speech.

One must realise his Self in order to open the store of unalloyed happiness.

In truth, you are spirit. The body has been projected by the mind, which itself originates from Spirit.

We dig a well and create a huge pit. The space in the pit or well has not been created by us. We have just removed the earth which was filling the space there. The space was there then and is also there now.

The world is illusory, Only Brahman is real, Brahman is the world

Teach by works more than words.

When the words come, they are merely empty shells without the music. They live as they are sung, for the words are the body and the music the spirit.

Words are always getting conventionalized to some secondary meaning. It is one of the works of poetry to take the truants in custody and bring them back to their right senses.

Caution, Sir! I am eternally tired of hearing that word caution. It is nothing but the word of cowardice!

Prayer and sacrifice can touch souls better than words.

The word stands for the body, but the symphony stands for the spirit.

Reading the Bible will help you get to know the word, but it’s when you put it down and live your life that you get to know the author.

You hesitate to stab me with a word, and know not – silence is the sharper sword.
