Guru Nanak Dev
As fragrance abides in the
flower
As reflection is within the mirror,
So does your Lord abide within you,
Why search for him without?
As reflection is within the mirror,
So does your Lord abide within you,
Why search for him without?

“All know that the drop
merges into the ocean, but few know that the ocean merges into the drop.”
Albert Einstein
The intuituive mind is a sacred gift and
the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors
the servant and has forgotten the gift.
Yogananda Paramahansa
Spiritual success lies in constantly attuning yourself with the
Cosmic Mind, and in maintaining your peace and poise no matter what
irremediable events occur in your life, such as the death of dear ones, or
other sorrowful happenings.
Mahatma Gandhi
You must be the change
you wish to see in the world.
Gnanananda Swami
"A true disciple has no sadhana to perform.
He has only to
surrender himself completely to his guru".
Mata Amritanandamayi
"Death of the ego leads to deathlessness.
When the ego dies, you
live eternally in bliss."
Sri Ramana Maharishi
We loosely
talk of Self-realization, for lack of a better term. But how can one
realize or make real that which alone is real? All we need to do is to give up
our habit of regarding as real that which is unreal. All religious practices
are meant solely to help us do this. When we stop regarding the unreal as real,
then reality alone will remain, and we will be that.
Aurobindo
“True knowledge is not attained by thinking.
It is what you are; it
is what you become.”
Sri Ravishankar Baba
Meditation erases the impressions and improves the expression
Sri Sarada Devi
As you smell the fragrance of a flower by handing it or the smell
of sandalwood by rubbing it against a stone, so you obtain spiritual awakening
by constantly thinking of God.
Swami Vivekananda
Take up one idea.
Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let
the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and
just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
You cannot transcend what you do not know.
To go beyond yourself, you must know yourself.
The Upanishads
The little space within the heart is as
great as the vast universe. The heavens and the earth are there, and the sun
and the moon and the stars. Fire and lightning and winds are there, and all
that now is and all that is not.
Antonio Machado
Wanderer, your footsteps are the road, and nothing more;
wanderer, there is no road, the road is made by walking.
By walking one makes the road,
and upon glancing behind
one sees the path. . .
Marcus Aurelius
It is not the body, nor the personality
that is the true self.
The true self is eternal. Even on the
point of death we can
say to ourselves, "my true self is
free. I cannot be contained.
Buddha
The no-mind not-thinks no-thoughts about
no-things.
Joseph Campbell
The goal of life is to make your
heartbeat match the beat of the universe,
to match your nature with Nature.
Ramakrishna Paramahamsa
Many are the names of God, and infinite
the forms that lead us to know Him. In whatsoever name or form you desire to
call Him, in that very form and name you will see Him.
