Pray sincerely from within, “O kind and compassionate Guru, please take me to the other shore.” There is nothing to fear.

Every individual is subject to the effect of karma; no one can avoid it.

What is the most auspicious quality of a spiritual seeker? Stillness, calmness. Why? The definition of restlessness is “the world.” Thus, the more one is involved and attached to the world, the more restlessness one is.

Death is the law of life. Death is the friend of every living being. However, no one understands this. All are frightened. And yet, death is the eternal companion of us all.

Practice Kriya carefully. There is no better friend than this. Kriya is the lotus feet of the Lord that will take you to the other shore. If you do not practice Kriya in this way, you will not get the real benefit of Kriya.

Know your spiritual effort is fruitful when you experience calmness and stillness.

Even if your achievement is minimal, still go on practicing your sadhana. You must continue your practice. Although you may not presently feel the benefits, when the time is right, you will reap the rewards.

Time that is passing will never return.

Vital breath (energy of prana) is the supreme power of man.

Because of restless breath, the mind cannot remain steady at any fixed point.

Direct your mind to think of nothing but your soul, and then concentrate on each exhalation and inhalation.

Strong desire, keeping good company, and practice are the three steps for quick spiritual evolution.

Never have fear! Even if you have fallen, it does not matter. The guru preceptor is the rescuer of the downtrodden.

Continuously read the Gita.

Push yourself to sit in one position longer and practice meditation.

When your body is steady and straight, your breath will come rhythmically and your life will be beautiful.

This world is full of such misery. You are in the middle of an ocean, never knowing when the next tempestuous storm will come; there is no certainty. Indeed life in this world is like that. Therefore, my child, try to bear everything that comes to you. Because in this world one who forebears wins. So fear not. Play your part in this world, remembering the Lord.

Forbearance is the best policy in life.

Thinking of the body as yours or that you are the body is the cause of all troubles.

All that happens in life is but drama.

We may be sad when a loved one dies, but what can we do? Niyati kena badhyate: “Who can persuade destiny? Look, even Abhimanyu, the nephew of Bhagavan Shri Krishna and the son of Arjuna, had to die. Destiny cannot be avoided.

Regular and sincere practice brings success.

When one practices breath-control through Kriya, one enjoys a blissful state and becomes free from ego.
