“Dive deep into the chambers of your heart. Find out the real, infinite ‘I’. Rest there peacefully for ever and become identical with the Supreme Self.”

Because truth is exceedingly subtle and serene, the bliss of the Self can manifest only in a mind rendered subtle and steady by assiduous meditation.

Then all this earth shines like one house.

Meditation depends upon the strength of mind. It must be unceasing even when one is engaged in work. Particular time for it is meant for novices.

All that exists is but the manifestation of the Supreme Being.

Engage yourself in the living present. The future will take care of itself.

I see only what you see, but I notice what I see.

If you approach the ocean with a cup, you can only take away a cupful; if you approach it with a bucket you can take away a bucketful.

Grace is ever present. All that is necessary is that you surrender to it.

There is neither creation nor destruction, neither destiny nor free will, neither path nor achievement. This is the final truth.

There is no seeing. Seeing is only being.

A realized one sends out waves of spiritual influence in his aura, which draw many people towards him. Yet he may sit in a cave and maintain complete silence.

The thing to do is to concentrate on the seer and not on the seen, not on the objects, but on the Light which reveals them.

To know one’s Self is to be blissful always.

The activity affected by causes like fainting, sleep, excessive joy, grief, possession by spirits, fear etc goes to the heart, its own place.

Food affects the mind. For the practice of any kind of yoga, vegetarianism is absolutely necessary since it makes the mind more pure and harmonious.

The state of self-realization, as we call it, is not attaining something new or reaching some goal which is far away, but simply being that which you always are and which you always have been.

The marvel of marvels is not that God, in His infinite love, has not elected all this guilty race to be saved, but that He has elected any.

Innocent and infinite are the pleasures of observation.

Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted.

There are infinite reveries, numberless extravagances, and a perpetual train of vanities which pass through both.

Let us have a dagger between our teeth, a bomb in our hands and an infinite scorn in our hearts.

Ideas are, in truth, forces. Infinite, too, is the power of personality. A union of the two always makes history.

I can take the spotlight that shines on me and shift it towards those issues that are infinitely more important than my own issues.

I am always humbled by the infite ingenuity of the Lord, who can make a red barn cast a blue shadow.
