Perceive all matter as the living soul and enjoy all matter as the living soul. Then your knowledge and consciousness will always remain in cosmic consciousness.

When the mango is ripe you do not need to announce it; one can tell by its smell and its color, and it separates from the tree. Be ripe in your thoughts and emotions. Grow inwardly in love and devotion.

Without patience, one cannot progress on the spiritual path.

Keen intelligence is two-edged. It may be used constructively or destructively like a knife, either to cut the boil of ignorance, or to decapitate one's self. Intelligence is rightly guided only after the mind has acknowledged the inescapability of spiritual law.

You may control a mad elephant; You may shut the mouth of the bear and the tiger; Ride the lion and play with the cobra; By alchemy you may learn your livelihood; You may wander through the universe incognito; Make vassals of the gods; be ever youthful; You may walk in water and live in fire; But control of the mind is better and more difficult.

Environment is stronger than will.

With the opening of the New Year, all the closed portals of limitations will be thrown open and I shall move through them to vaster fields, where my worthwhile dreams of life will be fulfilled.

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 more you meditate, the more helpful you can be to others, and the more deeply you will be in tune with God.

The first part of the verse says, ittham prakalpite dehe: “in this body that was planned before birth by you,” planned by your own karma. Jiva vasati sarvagah: “the individual who is worthy, capable, of going everywhere.” After contemplating these words, should we doubt our situation in life? We plan our lives before birth, as well as our bodies, our environments, and our situations and circumstances. Therefore, we should accept our situation and graciously assume our responsibilities.

Many people excuse their own faults but judge other persons harshly. We should reverse this attitude by excusing others' shortcomings and by harshly examining our own.

Accept the guru as your eternal guide.

Think of Divine Abundance as a mighty, refreshing rain. Whatever receptacle you have at hand will receive it. If you hold up a tin cup, you will receive only that quantity. If you hold up a bowl, that will be filled. What kind of receptacle are you holding up to Divine Abundance?

I humbly request that you practice Kriya wholeheartedly.

Love is the heartbeat of all life.

For Self-realization you require the help of a realized soul and by his help you can perceive that you are the living power of God.

The things you need in life are those that will help you to fulfill your dominant purpose. Things you may want but not need may lead you aside from that purpose. It is only by making everything serve your main objective that success is attained.

When we serve others, we serve ourselves. Do not think, I will help others - think rather, I will help my own, my world, because I cannot otherwise be happy.

It is better to meditate a little bit with depth than to mediate long with the mind running here and there. If you do not make an effort to control the mind it will go on doing as it pleases, no matter how long you sit to meditate.

In Hinduism, the concept of creation, beauty, and power is intricately woven into the symbolism of the dance of Shiva and Shakti. Shiva represents the masculine principle, often depicted as the god of destruction and transformation, while Shakti embodies the feminine principle, symbolizing primordial energy and creativity. Together, their dance symbolizes the interplay between consciousness (Shiva) and energy (Shakti) that drives the process of creation, preservation, and destruction in the universe.

Just behind the darkness of closed eyes shines the light of God. When you behold that light in meditation, hold onto it with devotional zeal. Feel yourself inside it: That is where God dwells.
