“Do not love leisure. Waste not a minute. Be bold. Realize the Truth, here and now!”

When you have succeeded in enshrining God within your heart, you will see Him everywhere.

The goal of life is god realisation.

If you do not find peace within, you will not find it anywhere else. The Goal of Life is the attainment of Peace and not the achievement of power, name, fame and wealth.

Terrible is the fight put up by the senses. Fight bravely! Conquer them you must.

A purified mind can grasp anything. It can dive deep into the subtlest subject and understand even transcendental things.

Pain, sorrow, ignorance are all illusory; they cannot live. Bliss, joy, knowledge are true; they cannot die.

The real spiritual progress of the aspirant is measured by the extent to which he achieves inner tranquility.

You are already free. You only have to know and realize this truth.

Be humble as the blade of grass that is being trodden underneath the feet. The little ant tastes joyously the sweetness of honey and sugar. The mighty elephant trembles in pain under the agony of sharp god.

Fear is only in duality. Fear is Mind. When you are your Self, there is no fear.

Complete peace equally reigns between two mental waves.

Why do you read many books? The great book is within your heart. Open the pages of this inexhaustible book, the source of all knowledge. You will know everything.

Be for ever a student. He and he alone is an old man who feels that he has learnt enough and has need for no more knowledge.

Faith is a belief in the unknown. Faith heals, faith creates, faith works wonders, faith moves mountains. Faith is the searchlight for God-finding.

An evil man is a saint of the future. See good in everything. Destroy the evil-finding quality. Develop the good-finding quality. Rise above good and evil.

Patient and regular practice is the whole secret of spiritual realization. Do not be in a hurry in spiritual life. Do your utmost, and leave the rest to God.

We have the most varied and imaginative bathrooms in the world, we have kitchens with the most gimmicks, we have houses with every possible electrical gadget to save ourselves all kinds of trouble – all so that we can have leisure. Leisure, leisure, leisure!

So that we don’t go mad in the leisure, we have color TV. So that there will never, never, be a moment of silence, we have radio and Muzak.

This will be obtained chiefly by means of the schools, and by open, hearty behavior, show, condescension, popularity, and toleration of their prejudices, which we shall at leisure root out and dispel.

Light sufferings give us leisure to complain.

We must beat the iron while it is hot, but we may polish it at leisure.

I’m never less at leisure than when at leisure, or less alone than when alone.

They talk of the dignity of work. The dignity is in leisure.

At the root of our civilization, there is the freedom of each person of thought, of belief, of opinion, of work, of leisure.
