I take the greatest lesson from compassion - it takes away all the conceit out of my life.
A single God - touch From God's Compassion - Height Can transform man's unimaginable And countless weaknesses Into God's own infinite,Immortal and omnipotent Power.
God's Compassion - Eye gives us Not only one Chance But countless chances To change our wrong directions
Unless and until you have developed a heart inundated with compassion, do not sit on the seat of judgement.
Doubt is an old disease. Faith is an old medicine. Compassion is an old doctor. Concern is an old nurse.
I live in between My heart's compassion-rain And my life's oneness-gain.
This divine Compassion is spontaneous Delight. In it there is no feeling of separativity, no feeling that one is superior and the other is inferior. No! It is a feeling of oneness.
Why do we fail? Is it because we are unlucky? Is it because we have not worked very hard? I s it because we have not invoked God's Compassion and Blessings? Is it because God has accepted this failure as an experience He wanted to have in our life? Is it because God has granted this failure to us? Is it because God has willed that we should lose? No! not it is for a different reason that we experience failure. It is for the strengthening of our consciousness that, at times, God grants us defeat.
The very nature of kindnessIs to spread.If you are kind to others,Today they will be kind to you,And tomorrow to somebody else.
The aspiring soul which he embodies is the lover in him. And the transcendental Self which he reveals from within is his Beloved.
Let us not worryAbout the future.Let us only do the right thingToday,At this moment,Here and now.Let the future take care of itself.
I am very happy Because I have conquered myself And not the world. I am very happy Because I have loved the world And not myself.
The difficulty is that we try to perfect others before we perfect ourselves.
Yoga is self-conquest. Self-conquest is God-realisation. He who practises yoga does two things with one stroke: he simplifies his whole life, and he gets free access to the Divine.
