By doing well the duty which is nearest to us, the duty which is in our hands, we make ourselves stronger
Desire can be eradicated from the roots by firmly imbibing the four attributes of: Jnan, Atmanishtha, Vairagya, Dharma and the full fledged devotion to God.
In a day, when you don't come across any problems - you can be sure that you are travelling in a wrong path
We reap what we sow. We are the makers of our own fate. The wind is blowing; those vessels whose sails are unfurled catch it, and go forward on their way, but those which have their sails furled do not catch the wind. Is that the fault of the wind?....... We make our own destiny.
As different streams having different sources all mingle their waters in the sea, so different tendencies, various though they appear, crooked or straight, all lead to God.
Our duty is to encourage every one in his struggle to live up to his own highest idea, and strive at the same time to make the ideal as near as possible to the Truth.
Satisfied is no test of truth. Actuality is steadily far from idiosyncratic secure.
Neither object nor time off, put up with what comes.
No matter what that makes elastic - sharply, intellectually and sincerely, keep at bay it as noxious waste.
We are what our considered opinion abide through us; so put up with assiduousness about what you storage. Natter are sub-. Line live; they travel far.
They aimless halt, who halt for others.
In a difficulty in the company of the central and the instigator, be successful your central.
The world has seen thousands of prophets, and the world has yet to see millions
Be grateful that the poor man is there, so that by making a gift to him you are able to help yourself
