Spirituality tells the seeker not to live in the hoary past, not to live in the remote future, but to live in the immediacy of today, in the eternal Now.
Spirituality is man's conscious longing for God. Spirituality tells us that God, who is unknowable today, will tomorrow become knowable and, the day after, will become totally known.
Hope pulls the heart of tomorrow into the body of today.
Today I must dive deep within And know what I come To this earth-stage for.
The very nature of kindness is to spread. If you are kind to others, today they will be kind to you, and tomorrow to somebody else.
Now is the time to make good use of time. Today is the day to begin a perfect day.
Let us not worry about the future. Let us only do the right thing Today, At this moment, Here and now. Let the future take care of itself.
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.

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.
