“Play your part in life, but never forget it is only a role.”

As a broken microphone cannot broadcast a message, so a restless mind cannot transmit prayers to God

A smooth life is not a victorious life.

It is spiritual poverty, not material lack, that lies at the core of all human suffering.

If you permit your thoughts to dwell on evil you yourself will become ugly. Look only for the good in everything so you absorb the quality of beauty.

Freedom means the power to act by soul guidance, not by the compulsions of desires and habits. Obeying the ego leads to bondage; obeying the soul brings liberation.

If you are in a dark room, don’t beat at the darkness with a stick, but rather try to turn on the light

Remain calm, serene, always in command of yourself. You will then find out how easy it is to get along.

Beginning with the early dawn of each day, I will radiate joy to everyone I meet. I will be mental sunshine for all who cross my path. Before the unfailing light of my cheer, darkness will take flight.

You do not have to struggle to reach God, but you do have to struggle to tear away the self-created veil that hides him from you

When you learn to get along with yourself, you will know how to get along with everybody.

Truths are not truths to you unless you realize them within yourself. Without realization, they are just ideas. For spiritual perception, spiritual consciousness, lies not in vague theological ideas, but in the acquisition of Self-realization.

Fearlessness means faith in God: faith in his protection, His justice, His wisdom, His mercy, His love, and His Omnipresence… To be fit for Self-realization man must be fearless.

Be kind to others, so that you may learn the secret art of being kind to yourself.

When you meditate the glory of the Divine shines forth. You realize then that all along there was something tremendous within you and you did not know it.

Is a diamond less valuable because it is covered with mud? God sees the changeless beauty of our souls. He knows we are not our mistakes.

We are what we think we are. The habitual inclination of our thoughts determines our talents and abilities, and our personality. So whatever you want to be, start to develop that pattern now.

To see we must forget the name of the thing we are looking at.

If you do something for someone else, never remember. If someone does something for you, never forget.

There is a light within each of us that can never be diminished or extinguished. It can only be obscured by forgetting who we are

He loves me. He loves me not. Perhaps I’m one that fate forgot. Perhaps I wasn’t made for this, to lose myself in love’s first kiss.

Getting up at 4 in the morning, I slave away all day until by the evening I’m exhausted, and I end by forgetting all my responsibilities, thinking only of the work I’ve set out to do.

Do not take life’s experiences too seriously. For in reality they are nothing but dream experiences. Play your part in life, but never forget that it is only a role.

Forget yourself by becoming interested in others. Do every day a good deed that will put a smile of joy on someone’s face.

Forget the past, for it is gone from your domain! forget the future, for it is beyond your reach! control the present! Live supremely well now! This is the way of the wise.
