Mind is but a poor reflection of the radiant Heart.

Be very careful about the heart center.

Do what you do with another human being, but never put them out of your heart.

Truth is that divine force that dwells in every individual’s heart. It is the all-pervading, eternal reality, uniting all individuals, and finally, linking all of existence in one divine awareness. That divine force is called God.

On this path let the heart be your guide.

You have to keep breaking your heart until it opens.

What is love? Love is treating your heart with a great deal of tenderness, with understanding, love, and compassion. If you cannot treat your own heart this way, how can you treat your partner with understanding and love?

Your heart is not living until it has experienced pain... the pain of love breaks open the heart, even if it is as hard as a rock.

Open your grief-stricken heart to the Lord. Weep and sincerely pray, 'O Lord, draw me towards You; give me peace of mind.' By doing so constantly you will gradually attain peace of mind.

Service is the most beautiful expression of the heart.

Your body is away from me, but there is a window open from my heart to yours.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. — Proverbs 3:5

We must continue to be open in the face of great opposition. No one is encouraging us to be open and still we must peel away the layers of the heart.

True forgiveness and love arise naturally, effortlessly, from the silence of the heart broken all the way open.

If you want to sin, sin wholeheartedly and openly. Sins too have their lessons to teach the earnest sinner, as virtues the earnest saint. It is the mixing up of the two that is so disastrous. Nothing can block you so effectively as compromise, for it shows lack of earnestness, without which nothing can be done.

Among all the valuable things of this world, the word is the most precious. For in the word one can find a light which gems and jewels do not possess; a word may contain so much life that it can heal the wounds of the heart. Therefore, poetry in which the soul is expressed is as living as a human being. The greatest reward that God bestows on man is eloquence and poetry. This is not an exaggeration, for it is the gift of the poet that culminates, in time, with the gift of prophecy.

Chastity, non-injury, forgiving even the greatest enemy, truth, faith in the Lord, these are all different Vrittis. Be not afraid if you are not perfect in all of these; work, they will come. He who has given up all attachment, all fear, and all anger, he whose whole soul has gone unto the Lord, he who has taken refuge in the Lord, whose heart has become purified, with whatsoever desire he comes to the Lord, He will grant that to him. Therefore worship Him through knowledge, love, or renunciation.

Widen your shriveled heart, make the interests of others your own and serve them as much as you can by sympathy, kindness, presents and so forth. So long as one enjoys the things of this world and has needs and wants, it is necessary to minister to the needs of one's fellow men. Otherwise one cannot be called a human being. Whenever you have the opportunity, give to the poor, feed the hungry, nurse the sick - do service as a religious duty and you will come to know by direct perception that the person served, the one who serves and the act of service are separate only in appearance.

The thinking mind is what is busy. You have to stay in your heart. You have to be in your heart. Be in your heart. The rest is up here in your head where you are doing, doing, doing.

If our bones were not sending whispers of doubt to our hearts, there would be no need for prayer at all.

When you have succeeded in enshrining God within your heart, you will see Him everywhere.

Have only love in your heart for others. The more you see the good in them, the more you will establish good in yourself.

The fetters of the heart are broken, all doubts are resolved, and all works cease to bear fruit, when He (Brahman) is beheld who is both high and low.
