What is joy? It is a bird That we all want to catch. It is the same bird That we all love to see flying.
Our goal is to go from bright to brighter to brightest, from high to higher to highest. And even in the highest, there is no end to our progress, for God Himself is inside each of us and God at every moment is transcending His own Reality.
When we seek appreciation from others, we get not appreciation, but flattery.
You must direct your full, intense concentration on the heart. You must feel that you are not the mind. You have to feel that you are growing into the heart. You are only the heart and nothing else.
Love the world. Otherwise, you will be forced to carry the heaviest load: your own bitter self.
What is love? From the spiritual and inner point of view, love is self-expansion. Human love binds and is bound. Divine Love expands, enlarges itself.
Hatred is a disguised form of love. You can only hate someone whom you really wish to love, because if you were totally indifferent to that person, you could not even get up enough energy to hate him.
Man is by nature a lover. Only he has yet to discover the real thing to love. This quest awakens him to the fulfillment of his real Self.
Each individual has to know himself. He has to know himself as the infinite, eternal and immortal Consciousness.
Is the world so unbearable? No! What we need is only a little more love for the world.
Love is something that never cared to learn how to judge anybody.
Instead of creating a reason why you cannot love the world, try to create a reason why you should and must love the world.
Where love is thick, faults are thin. If you really love someone, then it is difficult to find fault with him. His faults seem negligible, for love means oneness.
When we meditate, what we actually do is enter into the deeper part of our being. At that time, we are able to bring to the fore the wealth that we have deep within us.
Real meditation we get from within or from a spiritual Master. We can never get it from books. From books we can get inspiration or an inner approach to the fulfilment of our outer life. But in order to have true meditation we have to go deep within or follow the guidance of a spiritual Master.
When we meditate, what we actually do is enter into a vacant, calm, still, silent mind. We go deep within and approach our true existence, which is our soul. When we live in the soul, we feel that we are actually meditating spontaneously.
When your love is pure or spiritual, there is no demand, no expectation. There is only the sweetest feeling of spontaneous oneness with the human being or beings concerned.
Do not judge but love and be loved, if you want to be really happy.
At times to think of one’s outer helplessness is good, but to think always of one’s inner strength is infinitely better.
When we pray and meditate sincerely and soulfully, we receive an open-hearted invitation from heaven.
