Lose yourself day and night in His contemplation, in singing His praises and glory; only then will you be blessed with His vision.

SWAMI BRAHMANANDA

The touch of the Guru, the transmittal of spiritual energy, will quicken your heart. Then will begin the growth. No more stopping. You go on and go on.

SWAMI VIVEKANANDA

Truth is sure to conquer one day and the Grace is always there unfailing. Those who keep their faith steady are safe.

MOTHER MIRA

One has to do karma. Only then one can have His vision. Without karma (work for God), one cannot gain devotion or see God. Meditation and japa are all karma; singing His name and glory is also work. And then, charity and yajna are also work.

BHAGAWAN SRI RAMAKRISHNA

Many feel the urge to create a new and better world. Rather than let your thoughts dwell on such matters, you should concentrate on That by the contemplation of which there is hope of perfect peace. It is man’s duty to become a seeker after God or Truth.

SRI ANANDAMAYI MA

The means for bringing the fickle mind under control are dispassion and practice (Vairagya and Abhyasa).

SWAMI SARADANANDA

As you think, so you become. With the help of discrimination and renunciation, realize God, and become heir to Infinite Bliss.

SWAMI BRAHMANANDA

Never forget the goal. Never stop aspiring. Never halt in your progress, and you are sure to succeed.

MOTHER MIRA

Everything is under God. What can a man do? While repeating His name tears flow out of the eyes at times, and sometimes they do not. While meditating on Him there is beautiful inspiration at times, and at other times nothing happens.

BHAGAWAN SRI RAMAKRISHNA

Mantra leads you not to the external world but to the source of silence. The mantra leads your mind to a state of silence. The mind does not want to go into silence—it has many desires to fulfill.

SWAMI RAMA

Where is that competent student who can understand spiritual instruction? First of all, one should be fit; otherwise, the instructions prove futile.

HOLY MOTHER SRI SARADA DEVI

Engage yourself in reading and thinking only about Him. Whenever you wish to know anything, ask the Master, and He will give you the necessary knowledge.

SWAMI SUBODHANANDA

There is nothing to fear. The Master will lead you by the hand.

HOLY MOTHER SRI SARADA DEVI

Have faith that we have to regain our lost Self and 'Stop not till the goal is reached.' Remember these words of Swamiji, 'Do not forget the ideal - do not cut it down.' Let this body perish, still do not lower the ideal. Pray for strength. Pray always.

SWAMI AKHANDANANDA

Children, pray and shed tears as you think of God. That is the greatest sadhana. No other sadhana will give you the bliss of divine love as effectively as sincere prayer.

MATA AMRITANANDAMAYI

Truth is the pillar to which you must always hold while performing any action.

SWAMI BRAHMANANDA

The world is what you make it; by all means, make it happy. Only contentment can make you happy—ddesires fulfilled breed more desires. Keeping away from all desires and contentment in what comes by itself is a very fruitful state, a precondition to the state of fullness.

There is hope for all. None can die; none can be degraded forever. Life is but a playground, however gross the play may be. However we may receive blows, and however knocked about we may be, the soul is there and is never injured. We are that infinite.

SWAMI VIVEKANANDA

Surely you have duties to perform. You must bring up your children, support your wife, and provide for her in case of your death. If you don't, then I shall call you unkind. He who has no compassion is no man.

BHAGAVAN SRI RAMAKRISHNA

Your happiness should never be subject to any outside influence. Whatever your environment is, don't allow your inner peace to be touched by it.
