If you desire to be pure, have firm faith,
and slowly go on with your devotional practices without wasting your energy and
time.
“Only two kinds of people can attain self-knowledge: those who
are not loaded at all with learning, that is to say, whose minds are not
over-crowded with thoughts borrowed from others; and those who, after studying
all the scriptures and sciences, have come to realize that they know nothing.”
“One man may read the Bhagavata by the light of a lamp, and
another may commit a forgery by that very light; but the lamp is unaffected.
The sun sheds its light on the wicked as well as on the virtuous.”
- “You see many stars in the sky at night, but not when the sun
rises. Can you therefore say that there are no stars in the heavens during the
day? Because you cannot find God in the days of your ignorance, say not that
there is no God.”
“You speak of helping to the world. First realize God, see Him
by means of spiritual discipline. If He imparts power you can do good to
others; otherwise not.”
Life long, I learn. God is in all men, but all men are not in
God; that’s why we suffer.”
“The Man who works for others, without any selfish motive,
really does good to himself.”
The wise man speaks a little, even though his whole life is
religion expressed in action.”
“Different creeds are but different paths to reach the same
God.”
“Finish the few duties you have at hand, and then you will have
peace.”
“Through selfless work, love of God grows in heart.” Bondage and
Liberation are of the mind alone.
“The goal of life is not the earning of money, but the service
of God.”
“When divine vision is attained, all appear equal, no
distinction of good and bad, or of high and low.”
“God can be realized through all paths. All religions are true.
The important thing is to reach the roof. You can reach it by stone stairs or
by wooden stairs or by bamboo steps or by a rope. You can also climb up by a
bamboo pole.”
“If you desire to be pure, have firm faith, and slowly go on
with your devotional practices without wasting your energy in useless
scriptural discussions and arguments. Your little brain will otherwise be
muddled.”
“Why should you renounce everything? Do all your duties, but
keep your mind on God.”
“It is necessary to pray to Him, with a longing Heart.”
“He is born in vain, who having attained the human birth, so
difficult to get, does not attempt to realize God in this very life.
One cannot have the vision of God as long as one has these three
– shame, hatred, and fear.
Be not a traitor in
your thoughts. Be sincere; act according to your thoughts; and you shall surely
succeed. Pray with a sincere and simple heart, and your prayers will be heard.
Do not let worldly thoughts and anxieties disturb your mind. Do
everything that is necessary in the proper time, and let your mind be always
fixed on God.
You should remember that the heart of the devotee is the abode
of God. He dwells, no doubt, in all beings, but He especially manifests Himself
in the heart of the devotee. The heart of the devotee is the drawing room of
God.
Pure knowledge and pure love are one and the same thing. Both
lead the aspirants to the same goal. The path of love is much easier.
You must direct your mind toward God; otherwise you will not
succeed. Do your duty with one hand and with the other hold to God. After the
duty is over you will hold to God with both hands.
The breeze of His grace is blowing day and night over your head.
Unfurl the sails of your boat (mind), if you want to make rapid progress
through the ocean of life.
One should constantly repeat the name of God. The name of God is
highly effective in the Kaliyuga. The practice of yoga is not possible in this
age, for the life of a man depends on food. Clap your hands while repeating
God's name, and the birds of your sins will fly away.
