Beginning with the early dawn of each day, I will radiate joy to everyone I meet. I will be mental sunshine for all who cross my path. Before the unfailing light of my cheer, darkness will take flight.
Sincerity is a soul quality that God has given to every human being, but not all express it.
I don’t want people to think that they can attain realization simply by listening to others or by reading books. They must practice what they read and hear.
You had to fight to get into the womb. Not only you but many souls rushed to enter, and the ones that won are you, and you and I. It was not an easy victory.
Truths are more than imagination; they are real. Yet their origin is a thought in the mind of God.
As God is omnipresent in the cosmos but is undisturbed by its variety, so man, who as a soul is individualized Spirit, must learn to participate in this cosmic drama with a perfectly poised and equilibrated mind.
It is blessedness for yourself and others if you are happy.
Success is hastened or delayed by one’s habits.
Harmony with nature will bring you a happiness known to few city dwellers. In the company of other truth seekers it will be easier for you to meditate and think of God.
Be kind to others, so that you may learn the secret art of being kind to yourself.
In the spiritual life one becomes just like a little child, without resentment, without attachment, full of life and joy.
Just as oil is present in every part of the olive, so love permeates every part of creation.
You don’t know what is going to come to you in this world; you have to go on living and worrying. Those who die are pitying us; they are blessing us. Why should you grieve for them?
To face death itself should not daunt you. Fear of death is ridiculous, because as long as you are not dead you are alive, and when you are dead there is noting more to worry about!
From joy people are born; for joy they live; in joy they melt at death. Death is an ecstasy, for it removes the burden of the body and frees the soul of all pain springing from body identification. It is the cessation of pain and sorrow.
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.
The spine is the highway to the Infinite. Your own body is the temple of God. It is within your own self that God must be realized.
Environment is stronger than will power.
May Thy Love shine forever on the sanctuary of my devotion. And may I be able to awaken Thy love in all hearts.
Forget the past. The vanished lives of all men are dark with many shames. Human conduct is ever unreliable until man is anchored in the Divine. Everything in future will improve if you are making a spiritual effort now.
