The human intellect has not been able to conceive of anything more noble and sublime in the history of the world than the teachings of the Upanishads.
A mountain is composed of tiny grains of earth. The ocean is made up of tiny drops of water. Even so, life is but an endless series of little details, actions, speeches, and thoughts. And the consequences whether good or bad of even the least of them are far-reaching.
The harder the struggle, the more glorious the triumph. Self-realization demands very great struggle.
Make others truly happy as you strive to make yourself happy. Speak a helpful word. Give a cheering smile. Do a kind act. Serve a little. Wipe the tears of one who is in distress. Render smooth a rough place in another’s path. You will feel great joy.
Change the mind, and you can change the body.
Be for ever a student. He and he alone is an old man who feels that he has learnt enough and has need for no more knowledge.
This world is your body. This world is a great school, This world is your silent teacher.
Be humble as the blade of grass that is being trodden underneath the feet. The little ant tastes joyously the sweetness of honey and sugar. The mighty elephant trembles in pain under the agony of sharp goad.
Faith is a belief in the unknown. Faith heals, faith creates, faith works wonders, faith moves mountains. Faith is the searchlight for God-finding.
The secret of life is not enjoyment but education through experience.
Terrible is the fight put up by the senses. Fight bravely! Conquer them you must.
Life is a series of awakenings.
If you do not know the laws of right conduct, you cannot form your character.
Never worry about what other people say or think. Do the right thing. Have a clear conscience and roam about happily.
Tolerance is a sign of growth on the spiritual path.
Life is short. Time is fleeting. Realize the Self. Purity of the heart is the gateway to God. Aspire. Renounce. Meditate. Be good; do good. Be kind; be compassionate. Inquire, know Thyself.
The glorious Vishnu is the sole refuge of mortals. He is Infinite Light, Love and Wisdom. He resides in the hearts of all beings. His Grace is invincible. He is in all. He is the Highest Truth. He is Infinite Bliss. He is the Protector. He is the Preserver. He is the Saviour.
Serve, Love, Give, Purify, Meditate, Realize.
If you focus the rays of the sun through a lens, they can burn cotton or a piece of paper; but, the scattered rays cannot do this act. If you collect the dissipated rays of the mind and focus them at a point, you will have wonderful concentration.
Life is the unfolding of the latent capacities of the soul.
