Don't fight darkness. Bring the light, and darkness will disappear.

Problems will disappear as darkness disappears with the onset of light.

Remember this. When people choose to withdraw far from a fire, the fire continues to give warmth, but they grow cold. When people choose to withdraw far from light, the light continues to be bright in itself but they are in darkness. This is also the case when people withdraw from God.

Those who want to realize the greatest delight should realize themselves in others.

Not every light is a true light; To the wise the light of truth is light itself.

Light will someday split you open.

When the light returns to its source, it takes nothing of what it has illuminated.

Joy and sorrow are the light and shade of life; without light and shade no picture is clear.

Delight in itself is the approach of sanity. Delight is to open our eyes to the reality of the situation rather than siding with this or that point of view.

Music has the capacity to touch the innermost reaches of the soul and music gives flight to the imagination.

It's possible to be completely enlightened... except with your family.

God is truth and light his shadow.

Integrity is your destiny - it is the light that guides your way.

Woman is the destroyer of man. Do not look at her, at any cost. Note: (The sun of the self, that is, sound, is referred to here as man; and the jyoti, light of the self, is referred to as woman. In other words, do not be interested in the play of jyoti, or develop attachment to the inner visions; after all, visions are secondary and are not inner Realization.)

There are two ways in which we may attain control over our activity. The first is confidence in the power of our own will; to know that if we have failed today, tomorrow we will not do so. The second is to have our eyes wide open, and to watch keenly our activity in all aspects of life. It is in the dark that we fall, but in the light we can see where we are going.

Prayer gives us strength for great ideals, for keeping up our faith, charity, purity, generosity; prayer gives us strength to rise up from indifference and guilt, if we have had the misfortune to give in to temptation and weakness. Prayer gives us light by which to see and to judge from God's perspective and from eternity. That is why you must not give up on praying!

We should reflect on the idea that since the beginning of time sentient beings have been mentally unstable because they have been slaves of delusion, they lack the eye of wisdom to see the path leading to nirvana and enlightenment, and they lack the necessary guidance of a spiritual teacher. Moment by moment they are indulging in negative actions, which will eventually bring about their downfall.

A total spiritual direction given to the whole life and the whole nature can alone lift humanity beyond itself. . . It is only the full emergence of the soul, the full descent of the native light and power of the Spirit and the consequent replacement or transformation and uplifting of our insufficient mental and vital nature by a spiritual and supramental Supernature that can effect this evolutionary miracle.

You can't make a date with enlightenment.

Be a light unto yourself.

Don't fear the darkness if you carry the light within.

If a man can permanently establish his awareness in contact with that pure field (of consciousness), then problems wither away. It's a very simple thing. When the light comes, then where is the darkness?

OM is radiant Light. When this Light is spread throughout the body, all is seen; then, there is no desire to speak and to look.
