He who has no faith in himself can never have faith in God.

Duties not performed, invite the wrath even of God.

The feeling remains that God is on the journey, too.

Withhold no good impulse. You may fear that you will run to excess and squander too much, but those feelings are born of fear. In God's reality, the more you give of yourself—in feeling, generosity, self-expression, goodness, creativity, and love—the more you will be given.

God is the word that speaks itself.

When I think of God's Kingdom, I am compelled to be silent because of its immensity, because God's Kingdom is none other than God himself with all His riches.

Management [ Providence ], knowledge, and intention are not the same when ascribed to us and when ascribed to God.

God cannot know himself without me.

If God gave the soul his whole creation she would not be filled thereby but only with himself.

God dwells in you, as you, and you don't have to 'do' anything to be God-realized or Self-realized, it is already your true and natural state. Just drop all seeking, turn your attention inward, and sacrifice your ego mind to the One Self radiating in the Heart of your very being. For this to be your own presently lived experience, Self-Inquiry Meditation is a direct and immediate way.

Love is power, the purest power and the greatest power: Love is God. Nothing can be higher than that. But this power is not a desire to enslave others, this power is not a destructive force. This power is the very source of creation. This power is creativity. And this power will transform you totally into a new being. It has no concern with anybody. Its whole concern is to bring your seeds to their ultimate flowering.

Remember, until you become a buddha you have wasted your life. Buddhahood is your flowering, your fragrance. A tree is fulfilled when it blooms, and a man is fulfilled when he releases the fragrance of buddhahood, when he becomes luminous; then he comes to know who he is. In knowing that, all is known. In knowing that, God is known. In knowing that, truth is achieved - you become the truth, and truth liberates. Truth is freedom.

Our first duty is to satisfy the spiritual master, who can arrange for the Lord's mercy. A common man must first begin to serve the spiritual master or the devotee. Then, through the mercy of the devotee, the Lord will be satisfied. Unless one receives the dust of a devotee's lotus feet on one's head, there is no possibility of advancement. Unless one approaches a pure devotee, he cannot understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Remember the words of Christ: "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you." These words are literally true, not figures or fiction. They were the outflow of the heart's blood of one of the greatest sons of God who have ever come to this world of ours; words which came as the fruit of realisation, from a man who had felt and realised God himself; who had spoken with God, lived with God, a hundred times more intensely than you or I see this building.

The way to truth lies through the destruction of the false. To destroy the false, you must question your most inveterate beliefs. Of these the idea that you are the body is the worst. With the body comes the world, with the world - God, who is supposed to have created the world and thus it starts - fears, religions, prayers, sacrifices, all sorts of systems - all to protect and support the child-man, frightened out of his wits by monsters of his own making. Realize that what you are cannot be born nor die and with the fear gone, all suffering ends.

God is the ocean, creation is the wave, and we are like bubbles in the waves. Ultimately, what is the difference between the ocean, the waves, and the bubble? The ocean is vast and the waves are small. The waves are born on the lap of the ocean and merge in the ocean. In the waves many ripples and bubbles are created, and inside the bubbles there is a little air, in the film of water. So if God is the ocean, the ocean is nothing but water. Waves are the creation; they are nothing but water. The small bubbles are also water. God, creation, and the individual are all essentially one, just like the forms of water in the ocean.

You can hear the footsteps of God when silence reigns in the mind.

Verily, God is Compassionate and is fond of compassion, and He gives to the compassionate what He does not give to the harsh.

Right now He is pulling you lightly. But one day when the mind and body are able to tolerate it, God will pull you forcefully and all your attachment and bondage will disappear immediately.

The man filled with good qualities like Truth, Love, absence of jealousy, ego, and hatred can see God without searching for Him. He becomes a Jnani (a man of spiritual wisdom).

Through endless time God's greatest gift is continuously given in silence. But when mankind becomes completely deaf to the thunder of His Silence God incarnates as Man.

The entire universe is God's cosmic motion picture...

The family that prays together stays together, and if they stay together they will love one another as God has loved each one of them. And works of love are always works of peace.
