Be kind, be all sympathy, For each and every human being Is forced to fight against himself.
When I meditate, I feel I am vast, very vast.
I did not come into the world to prove anything. I came into the world to love everyone and everything.
People who plead with you for favours May eventually prove to be great flatterers. Your friends are only those Who all the time cheerfully support Your heart's aspiration-flames.
The determination in your heroic effort Will permeate your mind and heart Even after your success or failure Is long forgotten.
A sincere seeker knows what his goal is: the highest Truth. He will not delay his journey. In spiritual life, we aspire for the highest Truth, for God, nothing else.
God can be seen Even by the poorest fool, But not by the self-styled, God-arguing Intellectual giants.
Love the world With your heart's dreams. Serve the world With your life's promises.
When you are right, everything around you is right, for the beautiful flow that is inside your heart has the capacity to spread its fragrance of oneness-light all around you.
There is no greater miracle than our conscious efforts to become good human beings.
I took a closer look. There is no such thing as ignorance. Ignorance is nothing But my limited knowledge. I took a closer look. There is no such thing as defeat. Defeat is nothing But the inspirer Of my increasing will. I took a closer look. There is no such thing as death. Death is nothing But my strengthening And Dreaming rest.
Next to meditation is music, soulful music, the music that stirs and elevates our aspiring consciousness.
Hope is sweet. Hope is illumining. Hope is fulfilling. Hope can be everlasting. Therefore, do not give up hope, Even in the sunset of your life.
If we know the divine art of concentration, if we know the divine art of meditation, if we know the divine art of contemplation, easily and consciously we can unite the inner world and the outer world.
