There is no difference in the realization of the Truth either by a Muslim, Hindu, Zoroastrian, or a Christian. The difference is only in words and terms. Truth is not the monopoly of a particular race or religion.

Joke I read somewhere: They say that God is the innermost dweller of all. Well I hope He likes enchiladas - cause that's what He's getting! Love delights and glorifies in giving, not receiving.

Love has to spring spontaneously from within And it is no way amenable to any form of inner or outer force. Love and coercion can never go together; But though love cannot be forced on anyone, It can be awakened in him through love itself. Love is essentially self communicative; Those who do not have it catch it from those who have it. True love is unconquerable and irresistible, And it goes on gathering power and spreading itself, Until eventually it transforms everyone whom it touches.

Things that are real are given and received in silence.

Forgiveness is the best charity. (It is easy to give the poor money and goods when one has plenty, but to forgive is hard; but it is the best thing if one can do it.)

I have come not to teach but to awaken.

According to the law that governs the universe, all sufferings are your labor of love to unveil your real self.

There is no higher or lower goal. There is only one goal, Self-Realization.

Every good work has to face opposition, and the reaction of the opposition offered always helps the work.

To ask for a purely intellectual proof of the existence of God is like asking for the privilege of being able to see with your ears!

Live more and more in the Present, which is ever beautiful and stretches away beyond the limits of the past and the future.

A mind that is fast is sick. A mind that is slow is sound. A mind that is still is divine.

Though the eye is small, the soul which sees through it is greater and vaster than all the things which it perceives. In fact, it is so great that it includes all objects, however large or numerous, within itself. For it is not so much that you are within the cosmos as that the cosmos is within you.

People wait for the big moment, the great event, and forget that happiness comes from building steadily on the small daily things of life. People wait for that special moment to express love and forget that love springs from thoughtfulness practised every day. People wait, but waiting is future and NOW is always the time.

The essence of spirituality does not consist in a specialised or narrow interest in some imagined part of life, but in a certain enlightened attitude to all the various situations which obtain in life. It covers and includes the whole of life. All the material things of this world can be made subservient to the divine game, and when they are thus subordained they become auxiliary to the self-affirmation of the spirit.

If God can be found through the medium of any drug, God is not worthy of being God.

Long for what is real. You will then have no time for worrying over what may never happen.

All religions are equal to me. And all castes and creeds are dear to me. But though I appreciate all isms, religions and political parties for the many good things they seek to achieve, I do not and cannot belong to any of these isms, religions or political parties, for the Absolute Truth, while equally including them, transcends all of them and leaves no room for separative divisions which are all equally false.

Difficulties give us the opportunity to prove our greatness by overcoming them.

It is not so much that you are within the cosmos but that the cosmos is within you.

There is no such thing as evil. Only relative degrees of good.

If we suffer in the sufferings of others and feel happy in the happiness of others, we are loving God.

God has been everlastingly working in Silence, unobserved, unheard, except by those who experience His Infinite Silence. Those who have got the courage and wisdom to surrender themselves to a Perfect Master are the recipients of His Grace.
