Bhakti yoga is a way of transforming your emotion from negativity to utmost pleasantness.
If anyone steps on your ego, instantly, he becomes your enemy. But a Guru is a friend who constantly tramples your ego.
Devotion is about you. Maybe you use another object as inspiration, but you change your quality; you walk more joyfully, gently upon this planet.
If you want the Divine to become alive within you, first of all you as a human being have to become absolutely alive.
Whether you are running a business, an industry, or a nation – what is needed are insight, integrity, and inspiration.
If we transform our population into a trained, focused, balanced and inspired population, India will be a miracle.
The spiritual process has always been referred to as a journey – constant change.
Without being in constant exchange with the rest of the cosmos, you cannot exist. The idea of individuality is an illusion.
On one level, life is effervescent and active. On another level, it is absolutely still. The inner stillness nourishes the outer activity.
Devotion means your limited entity has been dissolved; a much larger possibility has become a living reality for you.
Devotion is not drama. Devotion is a way of living. Devotion is the way you walk, the way you breathe, and the way your heart beats.
Your history is animal. Your future is divinity. Right now, you are like a pendulum, swinging between the two.
There is a region beyond reason. Unless you get there, you will not know the sweetness of love, nor the Divine.
Destiny is what every human being creates for oneself. Fate is when you fail to create your own destiny.
Devotion as an act is vulgar. Devotion as a way of life is wonderful. If you are a great devotee, it is ugly. If you are devout, it is beautiful.
Every breath you take, you are getting closer to the grave. But every breath you take, you can also get closer to your liberation.
Devotion is the spark that can fire up your chemistry and energy to such a level that it creates an explosion of ecstasy within you.
Only when you are absolutely devoted to what you do, can you produce something significant in the world.
Devotion is not a concept, not a certain kind of ideology, not a certain kind of act, it is the agent of dissolution.
Whatever happens – ultimately, life corrects itself.
