My service to humanity is my real opportunity to prove my genuine love for God and God alone.
Heaven and God are not high above us, far away; they are deep within us. Heaven is not a distant country where there are trees and houses and other objects; it is a plane of consciousness within us. Seekers of the eternal Truth will realise their eternal Heaven within their aspiring hearts.
God loves only one philosophy, And that is the Do-it-here-now philosophy.
The beckoning Hands Of God's hopeful Smile Will, without fail, one day greet The fruitful cries Of man's prayerful heart.
If you are bathed In God's Forgiveness-Light, Then no dust of earth Will be able to cling to you.
Outer fire we need to cook. Inner fire we need to liberate. God's Fire we need to love.
When you invent something, there will always be people to criticise. God's creation is full of critics, but has God given up His creation because of the critics?
If you find it difficult to love the human in someone, then love the divine in him or her. The divine in that person is God. God exists in that person just as God exists in you. To love God is extremely easy because God is divine and perfect. Each time you look at an individual, if you can consciously become aware of God's existence in him or her, then you will not be disturbed by his or her imperfections or limitations.
Everybody has God inside, but not everybody is able to see God within. One can see God only when one cries for Him. Those who cry for God and pray to God can realise God.
There is no yawning gulf between man and God. Through his aspiration and meditation, Man can become conscious of his oneness with God.
God is beyond definition. But according to one's own vision or receptivity, one will define God in one's own way. Some will say that God is all Love. Others will say that God is all Power. Each one will see God according to his own necessity, his own receptivity and, finally, according to the way God wants him to see the ultimate Truth.
If we call ourselves children of God, then others are also children of God.
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.
