“To make the mind obey you is a spiritual discipline.”

Meditation is the royal road to the attainment of freedom, a mysterious ladder that reaches from earth to heaven, darkness to light, mortality to Immortality.

Live in the present, forget the past. Give up hopes of future.

The harder the struggle, the more glorious the triumph. Self-realization demands very great struggle.

Do not store in your brain useless information. Learn to unmind the mind. Unlearn whatever has been of no use to you. Then only can you fill your mind with divine thoughts.

There is something good in all seeming failures. You are not to see that now. Time will reveal it. Be patient.

One can realize God through kirtan alone.

The practice of ‘asanas’ and ‘pranayama’ wards off disease and helps to maintain alertness.

When you have succeeded in enshrining God within your heart, you will see Him everywhere.

The goal of life is god realisation.

If you do not find peace within, you will not find it anywhere else. The Goal of Life is the attainment of Peace and not the achievement of power, name, fame and wealth.

You are already free. You only have to know and realize this truth.

Be humble as the blade of grass that is being trodden underneath the feet. The little ant tastes joyously the sweetness of honey and sugar. The mighty elephant trembles in pain under the agony of sharp god.

For a woman, language spoken is an expression of what she is feeling. For a man, language spoken is an expression of what he is thinking. A woman says what is on her heart while a man says what is on his mind.

Yes: but aren’t love and marriage notoriously synonymous in the minds of most women? Certainly very few men get the first without promising the second: love, that is–if it’s just a matter of spreading her legs, almost any woman will do that for nothing.

No matter your position, circumstances, or opportunities in life, you always have the freedom of mind to choose how you experience, interpret, and, ultimately, shape your world.

Rich isn’t an amount of money, it’s a mindset about how you live. If you believe you can win, you can.

Heathenism is a state of mind. You can take it that I’m referring to one who does not see his world. He has no mental light. He destroys almost unwittingly. He cannot feel any Gods presence in his life. He is the 21st century man.
