“O bright newness of the day,
I adore you.
O deep stillness of the night,
I love you.”
“Be a sweetness-flute
When you deal with the world.
But be a thunderbolt
When you deal with yourself.”
“A man of compromise
Will never realise
The beauty, purity and divinity
Of Truth.”
“Idleness
Is always nourished
By hundreds of excuses.”
“I shall look at everybody’s mind
The way I look at flowers.
I shall paint everybody’s face
The way I paint the dawn.
I shall always blossom
In the firmament of light
Like the sun.”
“Gratitude is not a mere word.
Gratitude is not an idea.
Gratitude is not even an ideal.
Gratitude is our heart’s
God-satisfaction-promise
To God Himself.”
“When I look at the world
With my inner eye,
Everybody is beautiful,
Everybody is perfect,
In his own way.”
“The more we see the divine qualities in others,
The sooner we will establish world peace.”
“Nothing is difficult.
This is what you should think
Before you do anything.
Nothing is easy.
This is what you should feel
Before you say anything.”
“How can your life be satisfied
With small realities
If your heart has big dreams?”
“To serve and never be tired,
Is love.”
“May each prayer-breath
Of my life
Be a whisper of gratitude
To my Absolute Lord Supreme.”
It is not a sign of wisdom-light
When you open your heart
Indiscriminately to all.
“All human beings are roses
Inside my heart-garden.
Their sweetness-fragrance
Is my oneness-satisfaction-peace.”
