Not to escape the miseries of life,
But to challenge and conquer
The ruthless torture of misery.”

“What is spirituality,
If not constant self-vigilance
And self-discipline?”

“Silence is always the best teacher.
It can take us safely
Deep into every heart.”

“No self-giving here on earth
Will remain unrecognised,
Unapplauded
And unfulfilled.”

“Is there any earthly problem
That does not have
A purifying and illumining purpose?”

“Do you want to make God
Really happy?
Then never give up your hope
Of becoming absolutely perfect.”

“Be not afraid of
Your teeming weaknesses.
Confront them valiantly.
You are bound to succeed.”

“When the silence of your heart
Leads you,
There is no mind-barrier
That you cannot surmount.”

“You must not delay!
You must achieve
As soon as possible,
Before your life fades away.”

“If the heart’s belief
Does not become the life’s action,
Then that belief is hardly better
Than disbelief.”

“We are born on earth
To prove that every day
A new God
With a new Promise
Takes birth in each human heart.”

“The more I see the rapidity
Of the machine-world,
The more I see futility
Dancing all around us.”

“Devotion is not
An insignificant thing.
It is infinitely more valuable
Than you can ever imagine.”

“If we have the armour
Of a clear conscience,
Then fast, very fast we can run
In our spiritual life.”

“Just remember a prayerful moment,
A soulful moment
And a self-giving moment.
You will be able to walk again
Along the road to delight.”

“Do not allow yourself to be haunted
By constant regret
That you are not doing well
In your spiritual life.
Be determined!
Go forward!
Go forward!”

“Do you want to give?
Then ask your heart to have patience.
Do you want to receive?
Then ask your mind to have patience.”

“What is spirituality?
It is the unparalleled wisdom
That tells us to leave everything
In God’s safe Hands.”

“In the spiritual world
We want unity
And not uniformity.”

“If you want to make
Faster than the fastest progress
In your spiritual life,
Stop counting, calculating
And measuring.”

“When I meditate soulfully,
I make myself five years old.
When I do not meditate,
I become eighty years old.”

“You do not have to go to anybody
To receive answers
To satisfy your mind.
Just enter into your higher self.
All the answers are already there.”

“Each inspiring dream
Comes from a higher world
With a special significance
To awaken and illumine this earth.”

“When we aspire
Most sincerely and most soulfully,
We come to realise
That there is no such thing
As an unattainable goal.”

“Self-giving and joy
Are so fond of each other
That they have become
Inseparable companions.”

“Today we call it
The darkest night.
Tomorrow that very thing
We will call the brightest dawn.”

“If you do not care
For changes in your life,
Your life-chains
Will not leave you.”

“There is only one thing I must do.
I must mail away the sorrows of my heart
To Heaven.”

“He is truly happy
Who has become the bridge
Between his heart’s love
And his life’s service.”

“To make oneself happy,
The easiest and most effective way
Is to find every day
A new beginning.”
