“Christianity is not devotion to work, or to a cause, or a doctrine, but devotion to a Person, the Lord Jesus Christ.”

Fretting springs from a determination to get our own way.

Get into the habit of saying, ”Speak, Lord,” and life will become a romance.

Trust God, and do the next thing.

The best measure of a spiritual life is not its ecstasies but its obedience.

The strain of life is what builds our strength. If there is no strain, there will be no strength.

The greatest test of a man’s character is his tongue.

God gives us the vision, then he takes us down to the valley to batter us into the shape of the vision, and it is in the valley that so many of us faint and give way. Every vision will be made real if we will have patience.

We are not responsible for the circumstances we are in, but we are responsible for the way we allow those circumstances to affect us; we can either allow them to get on top of us or we can allow them to transform us into what God wants us to be.

Don’t read to remember; read to realize.

Spend plenty of time with God; let other things go, but don’t neglect Him. We are not here to do work for God, we are here to be workers with Him, those through whom He can do His work.

The only way we can be of use to God is to let Him take us through the crooks and crannies of our own characters.

All heaven is interested in the cross of Christ, all hell terribly afraid of it, while men are the only beings who more or less ignore its meaning.

God rarely allows a person to see how great a blessing he is to others.

The battle is lost or won in the secret places of the will before God, never first in the external world.

It is a joy to Jesus when a person takes time to walk more intimately with Him. The bearing of fruit is always shown in scripture to be a visible result of an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ.

The moment we recognize our complete weakness and our dependence upon Him will be the very moment that the Spirit of God will exhibit His power.

Why are we not tasting the bliss of Bhakti? Because we are taking shelter of stone boats. We are sinking and drowning in Maya & still we are further taking shelter of stone boats and this can go on life after life.

Devotion is a disease. And you catch it from those people who have it.

Enthusiasm and eagerness give life to our devotional service.

I will stay in prison till the moss grows on my eye lids rather than disobey God.

The transcendental knowledge of devotional service is digested by the engyme of humility.

The more one makes spiritual advancement, one feels humble and as one’s devotion is superficial that much he feels that he is a great devotee.

Bhakti cannot be attained, it is a gift.

Devotion is a way of being, it’s not something you do. It’s dedication to finding awareness and Love. Chanting is like asanas for the mind and the heart.
