“Life is short. Time is fleeting. Realize the Self. Purity of the heart is the gateway to God. Aspire. Renounce. Meditate. Be good; do good. Be kind; be compassionate. Inquire, know Thyself.”

The language of silence is the language of God, the language of silence is the language of the heart.

Don’t fear the darkness if you carry the light within.

Meditation is the royal road to the attainment of freedom, a mysterious ladder that reaches from earth to heaven, darkness to light, mortality to Immortality.

Live in the present, forget the past. Give up hopes of future.

The harder the struggle, the more glorious the triumph. Self-realization demands very great struggle.

Do not store in your brain useless information. Learn to unmind the mind. Unlearn whatever has been of no use to you. Then only can you fill your mind with divine thoughts.

There is something good in all seeming failures. You are not to see that now. Time will reveal it. Be patient.

One can realize God through kirtan alone.

The practice of ‘asanas’ and ‘pranayama’ wards off disease and helps to maintain alertness.

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.

Empathy is the main thing, putting yourself in somebody else’s shoes and trying not to judge.

Humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less. Humility is thinking more of others.

Do you know that nothing you do in this life will ever matter, unless it is about loving God and loving the people he has made?

The true spiritual secret is this: what you seek, you already are. True success is discovering your inner divinity~ it’s the ability to love and have compassion, trust your intuition, and awaken to your unlimited creative nature.

The miracle is this – the more you give, the more you have.

I see my parents as tiny children who need love. I have compassion for my parents’ childhoods. I now know that I chose them because they were perfect for what I had to learn. I forgive them and set them free, and I set myself free.

Wounds are the means through which we enter the hearts of other people. They are meant to teach us to become compassionate and wise.

I give a portion of my time to helping others. It is good for my own health.
