All thoughts come from God. Good and bad. You have to return your bad thoughts to God. Negative thought - return it.

Only thoughts of God and intense love for Him bring peace.

The most decisive event in your life is when you discover you are not your thoughts or emotions. Instead, you can be present as the awareness behind the thoughts and emotions.

Have the unflinching determination to move on your path unhampered by limiting thoughts of past errors.

Substitute positive thoughts for negative ones.

The greatest misfortune that can come to a human being is to lose his inner peace. No outer force can rob him of it. It is his own thoughts, his own actions, that rob him of it.

Great men are they who see that spiritual is stronger than any material force - that thoughts rule the world.

We are the space in which thoughts appear, play, and dissolve like clouds drifting in the infinite sky.

The goal is to be the observer of your thoughts and not let your thoughts control you.

From where does this "I" arise? Seek for it within; it then vanishes. This is the pursuit of wisdom. When the mind unceasingly investigates its own nature, it transpires that there is no such thing as mind. This is the direct path for all. The mind is merely thoughts. Of all thoughts the thought "I" is the root.

Bhagavan's famous instruction 'summa iru' [be still] is often misunderstood. It does not mean that you should be physically still; it means that you should always abide in the Self… In sattva guna [a state of mental quietness and clarity] there is stillness and harmony. If mental activity is necessary while one is in sattva guna it takes place. But for the rest of the time there is stillness… If sattva guna predominates one experiences peace, bliss, clarity and an absence of wandering thoughts. That is the stillness that Bhagavan was prescribing.

Peace can reign only where there is no disturbance, and disturbance is due to thoughts that arise in the mind.

If you meditate regularly, even when you don't feel like it, you will make great gains, for it will allow you to see how your thoughts impose limits on you. Your resistances to meditation are your mental prisons in miniature.

I have opened up an account with God's Heart-Bank. Therefore, I see nowhere the battering waves of poverty-thoughts.

Worship means reverence and humility. It means revering your real self and humbling delusions. If you can wipe out evil desires and harbor good thoughts, even if nothing shows, it's worship. Such form is its real form.

Thinking happy thoughts literally creates a positive chemical change in the brain which stimulates both positive physical and psychological benefits.

Have you ever sat very quietly with closed eyes and watched the movement of your own thinking? Have you watched your mind working? or rather, has your mind watched itself in operation, just to see what your thoughts are, what your feelings are, how you look at the trees, at the flowers, at the birds, at people, how you respond to a suggestion or react to a new idea? Have you ever done this?

Affirm divine calmness and peace, and send out only thoughts of love and goodwill if you want to live in peace and harmony. Never get angry, for anger poisons your system.

Leave your front door and your back door open. Allow your thoughts to come and go. Just don't serve them tea.

Meditation helps concentration of the mind. Then the mind is free from thoughts and is in the meditated form.

Silence is never-ending speech. Vocal speech obstructs the other speech of silence. In silence one is in intimate contact with the surroundings. Language is only a medium for communicating one's thoughts to another. Silence is ever speaking.

The very essence of meditation is to be so silent that there is no stirring of thoughts in you, that words don't come between you and reality, that the whole net of words falls down, that you are left alone. This aloneness, this purity, this unclouded sky of your being is meditation.

It is divinity that shapes, not only your ends, but also your acts, your words and thoughts.
