To free our body from fear what we need is the glorious experience of the soul.
If your Lord Supreme requests you to do something, rest assured he has already given you the capacity - even more than necessary - long before you actually need it.
We do not need heaven-born saints but just earth-born seekers who believe in peace and want to live in peace.
It is music that, being the universal language, has no need to learn any particular language of the world.
This world of ours has everything except one thing: peace. Everybody wants and needs peace, whether he be a child or an octogenarian.
Outer fire we need to cook. Inner fire we need to liberate. God's Fire we need to love.
If we feel inwardly strong, we will have no need or desire to speak ill of others.
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.

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.
The word 'yoga' means skill - skill to live your life, to manage your mind, to deal with your emotions, to be with people, to be in love and not let that love turn into hatred.
