To make the mind obey you is a spiritual discipline.
God is all-full. He is self-contained. He is eternal satisfaction.
When all desires of heart die, mortal man becomes Immortal.
Be tolerant. Behold the unity of all faiths, cults, creeds and religions. Respect the views, opinions and sentiments of all.
Bear insult, bear injury.
A desire arises in the mind. It is satisfied immediately another comes. In the interval which separates two desires a perfect calm reigns in the mind. It is at this moment freed from all thought, love or hate. Complete peace equally reigns between two mental waves.
A purified mind can grasp anything. It can dive deep into the subtlest subject and understand even transcendental things.
Desire is poverty. Desire is the greatest impurity of the mind. Desire is the motive force for action. Desire in the mind is the real impurity. Even a spark of desire is a very great evil.
The mind is a product of experience. It is the result of past thinking and is modified by present thinking.
The goal of life is god realisation.
Fear is only in duality. Fear is Mind. When you are your Self, there is no fear.
Moral values, and a culture and a religion, maintaining these values are far better than laws and regulations.
Your duty is to treat everybody with love as a manifestation of the Lord.
Man is a bridge between the two worlds – the visible and the invisible.
The mind is responsible for the feelings of pleasure and pain. Control of the mind is the highest Yoga.
Meditation is the royal road to the attainment of freedom, a mysterious ladder that reaches from earth to heaven, darkness to light, mortality to Immortality.
Still the bubbling mind; herein lies freedom and bliss eternal.
Common sense is the fundamental factor in all spiritual disciplines. No rule is an eternal rule. Rules change from place to place, time to time and from one condition to another condition.
The practice of ‘asanas’ and ‘pranayama’ wards off disease and helps to maintain alertness.
After the demands of the ego and its greed surrendered, the struggle for fulfillment of personal desires lessens; life takes on a new zest like a breath of fresh air.
Without discipline in spiritual pursuits, the central nervous system doesn’t have a chance to adjust and grow with the increased demand. It would be like putting a high voltage into a small bulb – it is bound to explode.
