“I relax and cast aside all mental burdens, allowing God to express through me His perfect love, peace, and wisdom.”

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.

Your trials did not come to punish you, but to awaken you – to make you realise that you are a part of Spirit and that just behind the sparks of your life is the Flame of Infinity.

If you want to be sad, no one in the world can make you happy. But if you make up your mind to be happy, no one and nothing on earth can take that happiness from you.

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.

It doesn’t matter if a cave has been in darkness for 10,000 years or half an hour, once you light a match it is illuminated.

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.

If you have a strong mind and plant in it a firm resolve, you can change your destiny.

The rains of Life’s Blessings cannot gather on mountaintops of pride, but flow easily into valleys of humbleness.

People are running, running, but there is no place in the world to which they can flee to escape themselves. Ultimately, each one must face himself.

The greatest romance is with the Infinite. You have no idea how beautiful life can be. When you suddenly find God everywhere, when He comes and talks to you and guides you, the romance of divine love has begun.

There is a magnet in your heart that will attract true friends. That magnet is unselfishness, thinking of others first; when you learn to live for others, they will live for you.

Learn to be calm and you will always be happy.

So long as we believe in our heart of hearts that our capacity is limited and we grow anxious and unhappy, we are lacking in faith. One who truly trusts in God has no right to be anxious about anything.

I am a spark from the Infinite. I am not flesh and bones. I am light.

Meet everybody and every circumstance on the battlefield of life with the courage of a hero and the smile of a conqueror.

Be careful what you choose to do consciously, for unless your will is very strong, that is what you may have to do repeatedly and compulsively through the habit-influencing power of the subconscious mind.

Our task today is to bring India to the threshold of the twenty-first century, free of burden of poverty, legacy of our colonial past, and capable of meeting the rising aspirations of our people.

It is not your job to fix people. I know your heart aches to see people you love in pain. But it is not your job to make their burden your own – that is not your path.

In the family, happiness is in the ratio in which each is serving the others, seeking one another’s good, and bearing one another’s burdens.

After the modest success of my first film, I found it very daunting to have to live with that kind of burden of expectations.

Don’t fret the darkness in their souls it is their burden to carry not yours.

To ease another’s burden, help to carry it.

None so little enjoy themselves, and are such burdens to themselves, as those who have nothing to do. Only the active have the true relish of life.

My notebook couldn’t carry the burden of all those words which my heart once felt.
