“Grace is not something outside or you.. In fact, your very desire for grace is due to grace that is already working in you.”

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

See who is the doubter, who is the thinker. It is the ego. Hold it; the other thoughts will die away – the ego will be left pure. See the source from where the ego arises and abide in it. That is pure consciousness.

If you make the thief the policeman there will be lots of investigation but no arrests will ever be made.

The inquiry “who am I” turns the mind introvert and makes it calm.

It is said that the I-activity is the root of all activities. From where the I-thought emerges, that in short is the heart.

Peace is for the purification of one’s mind. Power is for the growth of the community. Having established the community with power, one should then establish supreme peace.

There are no impediments to meditation. The very thought of such obstacles is the greatest impediment.

The man who has the sense of the body being himself cannot possibly worship God as formless; whatever worship he makes will be worship in form alone, not otherwise.

Thoughts come and go. Feelings come and go. Find out what it is that remains.

You are the Supreme Being, and yet thinking yourself to be separate from it, you strive to become united with it. What is stranger than this?

One should remain as a witness to whatever happens, adopting the attitude, ‘Let whatever strange things that happens happen, let us see!’ This should be one’s practice. Nothing happens by accident in the divine scheme of things.

Peace can reign only where there is no disturbance, and disturbance is due to thoughts that arise in the mind.

The search “Who am I” ends in the annihilation of the illusory “I” and the Self which remains over will be as clear as a gooseberry in the palm of one’s hand.

No iron chain, or outward force of any kind, could ever compel the soul of man to believe or to disbelieve: it is his own indefeasible light, that judgment of his; he will reign and believe there by the grace of God alone!

One day I will fall gracefully to pieces. Until then, I’ll just fall.

No iron chain, or outward force of any kind, could ever compel the soul of man to believe or to disbelieve: it is his own indefeasible light, that judgment of his; he will reign and believe there by the grace of God alone!

Every breath we draw is a gift of God’s love; every moment of existence is a grace.

Our real journey in life is interior; It is a matter of growth, deepening, and of an ever greater surrender to the creative action of love and grace in our hearts. Never was it more necessary to respond to that action.

You are always new. The last of your kisses was even the sweetest; the last smile the brightest; the last movement the gracefullest.

Believing in grace is one thing. Living it is another.
