“Mind is consciousness which has put on limitations. You are originally unlimited and perfect. Later you take on limitations and become the mind.”

Even in intake, the one steadfast thought is said to be the natural state. Nirvikalpa Samadhi will result when the sensory objects are not present.

When your real, effortless, joyful grateful nature is realized, it will not be inconsistent with the ordinary activities of life.

If the ego rises, all else will also rise; if it subsides, all else will also subside.

Under whatever name or form we worship It, It leads us on to knowledge of the nameless, formless Absolute. Yet, to see one’s true Self in the Absolute, to subside into It and be one with “It, this is the true Knowledge of the Truth.

There is no greater mystery than this, that we keep seeking reality though in fact we are reality.

Pleasure and pain are only aspects of the mind. Our essential nature is happiness.

Knowing the Self, God is known.

Realisation is not acquisition of anything new nor is it a new faculty. It is only removal of all camouflage.

The very fact that we wish for liberation shows that freedom from all bondage is our real nature. It is not to be freshly acquired. All that is necessary is to get rid of the false notion that we are bound.

When the mind, one-pointed and fully focused, knows the supreme silence in the Heart, this is true learning.

Bliss is a thing which is always there and is not something which comes and goes. That which comes and goes is a creation of the mind.

The grace of the Guru is like an ocean. If one comes with a cup he will only get a cupful. It is no use complaining of the niggardliness of the ocean. The bigger the vessel the more one will be able to carry. It is entirely up to him.

Grace is within you. Grace is your self. Grace is not something to be acquired from others. If it is external, it is useless. All that is necessary is to know its existence is in you. You are never out of its operation.

We are always peace. To get rid of the idea that we are not peace is all that is required.

See what helps you to keep away all other thoughts and adopt that method for your meditation.

The end of all wisdom is love, love, love.

All the ups and downs are grace in different wrappings, sent to refine consciousness. Say thanks to them all.

Simply performing devotional activities will not impart devotion to others but our consciousness should be absorbed.

We should be in harmony with our own consciousness; our mind, body, and soul should be one in interest and in purpose. And in that unified condition, we can actually express that natural innate love that we have found in our own life in everything we do in the world.

When you advance in Krishna Consciousness it is more difficult to tolerate being honored than to tolerate being dishonored.

The worst tragedy is that this uncontrolled mind steals our consciousness away from Krishna and that is the beginning, the essence of all suffering.

The more we are happy in Krishna Consciousness, the more we become purified.

Spirituality is revival of our God consciousness, not creating something new.

Our humble service attitude in our life is what determines what effect chanting will have on our consciousness. Otherwise we can be chanting for millions and millions of births before we actually achieve the goal.
