Do you want to change the world? Then change yourself first. Do you want to change yourself? Then remain completely silent inside the silence-sea.
Meditation speaks. It speaks in silence. It reveals. It reveals to the aspirant that matter and spirit are one, quantity and quality are one, the immanent and the transcendent are one. It reveals that life can never be the mere existence of seventy or eighty years between birth and death, but is, rather, Eternity itself.
Silence tells the seeker in us to love, to love himself. It tells us it is wrong to hate ourselves because of our imperfections. When the seeker loves himself, loves the Divine within himself, he eventually realises the Ultimate Truth.
Inner silence is not just the absence of thoughts. No! Silence is the blossoming of our indomitable inner will. Silence is our inner wisdom-light.
Meditation is silence, energising and fulfilling. Silent is the eloquent expression of the inexpressible.
Meditation speaks. It speaks in silence.
Meditation is silence. Silence is God In His Infinity's Smile.
Your mind has a flood of questions. There is but one teacher Who can answer them. Who is that teacher? Your silence-loving heart.
Silence is not silent. Silence speaks. It speaks most eloquently. Silence is not still. Silence leads. It leads most perfectly.
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.
