Travel in all the four quarters of the earth, you will find nothing (no true religion) anywhere. Whatever there is, is only here (i.e., in one's own heart.)

The best course for My lover is to remember Me wholeheartedly as much as one can… and leave the rest to Me.

God's grace consists in the fact that He shines in the heart of everyone as the Self; that power of grace does not exclude any one, whether good or otherwise.

What is most needed is a loving heart.

The seed of devotion and faith is hidden in the heart of all. Good company, spiritual discussions and self-analysis are essential for the development of the plant.

I've firmly come to the conclusion that there are no 'themes' for me anymore. I can't be told who to hate, who to fight, who to subdue - I only see an 'us' in my heart.

I hang out with my guru in my heart. And I love everything in the universe. That's all I do all day.

We must have a pure, honest, and warm-hearted motivation, and on top of that, determination, optimism, hope, and the ability not to be discouraged. The whole of humanity depends on this motivation.

Love and forgiveness is not for the faint-hearted.

I would heartily welcome the union of East and West provided it is not based on brute force.

So your first job is to work on yourself. The greatest thing you can do for another human being is to get your own house in order and find your true spiritual heart.

Prayer makes your heart bigger, until it is capable of containing the gift of God himself. Prayer begets faith, faith begets love, and love begets service on behalf of the poor.

By the anxieties and worries of this life Satan tries to dull man's heart and make a dwelling for himself there.

Never be petty. Do not feed resentments against anyone. I prefer good-hearted sinners to so-called good people who are intolerant and devoid of compassion. Being spiritual is to have an open mind, understand and forgive, and be friends with everyone.

The worst prison would be a closed heart.

True love is no game of the faint-hearted and the weak; it is born of strength and understanding.

While you are proclaiming peace with your lips, be careful to have it even more fully in your heart.

Open your minds and hearts to the beauty of all that God has made and to His special, personal love for each one of you.

If there is righteousness in the heart, there will be beauty in the character. If there is beauty in the character, there will be harmony in the home. If there is harmony in the home, there will be order in the nations. When there is order in the nations, there will peace in the world.

He whom the sages have been seeking in all these places is in our own hearts; the voice that you heard was right, says Vedanta, but the direction you gave to the voice was wrong.

My dear heart, never think you are better than others. Listen to their sorrows with compassion. If you want peace, don't harbor bad thoughts, do not gossip and don't teach what you do not know.

Those who are near me do not know that you are nearer to me than they are. Those who speak to me do not know that my heart is full with your unspoken words. Those who crowd in my path do not know that I am walking alone with you. Those who love me do not know that their love brings you to my heart.

If we serve someone with love and affection, blessings will pour from that person’s heart, without even asking.
