“Do one thing at a Time, and while doing it put your whole Soul into it to the exclusion of all else.”

Eka-Nishtha or devotion to one ideal is absolutely necessary for the beginner in the practice of religious devotion.

Why should a Man be Moral? Because this strengthens his will.

Never say any man is hopeless, because he only represents a character, a bundle of habits, which can be checked by new and better ones. Character is repeated habits, and repeated habits alone can reform character.

Thank God for giving you this world as a moral gymnasium to help your development, but never imagine you can help the world.

Know that all sins and all evils can be summed up in that one word, weakness. It is weakness that is the motive power in all evil doing; it is weakness that makes men injure others; it is weakness that makes them manifest what they are not in reality. Let them know what they really are.

The help which tends to make us spiritually strong is the highest help, next to it comes intellectual help and after that comes physical help.

As soon as we react, we become slaves. A man blames me, and I immediately react in the form of anger. A little vibration which he created made me a slave.

Fear is death, fear is sin, fear is hell, fear is unrighteousness, and fear is wrong life. All the negative thoughts and ideas that are in the world have proceeded from this evil spirit of fear.

We must plunge heart and soul and body into the work. And until we are ready to sacrifice everything else to one Idea and to one alone, we never, never will see the Light.

Never talk about the faults of others, no matter how bad they may be. Nothing is ever gained by that. You never help one by talking about his fault; you do him an injury, and injure yourself as well.

Take up an idea, devote yourself to it, struggle on in patience, and the sun will rise for you.

One may gain political and social independence, but if one is a slave to his passions and desires, one cannot feel the pure joy of real freedom

All practice or worship is only for taking off this veil. When that will go, you will find that the Sun of Absolute Knowledge is shining in Its own lustre.

They only live, who live for others, the rest are more dead than alive.

Take Risks in Your Life If you Win, you Can Lead! If You Lose, You can Guide!

Religion is realization; not talk, nor doctrine, nor theories however beautiful they may be. It is being and becoming, not hearing, or acknowledging; it is the whole soul becoming what it believes.

Trying to live in harmony with the dictates of nature is probably as inspirational as living in harmony with the Koran or the Bible. Perhaps it is also a timely undertaking.

In Roslyn, Pennsylvania, we started our real-life family circus. They provided the inspiration for my cartoons. I provided the perspiration.

There are five stages of meditation, each one leading gradually into the next: concentration, meditation, contemplation, illumination, and inspiration.

When you factor in population growth, it’s clear that the mobility model that we have today simply will not work tomorrow.

We want to give kids something to hope for. If one kid says, “Your cd helped get me through this year,” that’s all it takes.

To bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete* in the world.

Inspiration is the greatest gift because it opens your life to many new possibilities.

I find inspiration everywhere. I love challenges and my favorite thing is to find something ridiculous and be like “if it’s all that I have available to me, I am gonna make it look the best that I can”.
