From joy I came, for joy I live, in sacred joy I melt.

Be inwardly ever newly joyous, like the ever-fresh laughing waters of a gurgling brook.

Live quietly in the moment and see the beauty of all before you. The future will take care of itself.

God-realization is the most difficult state to reach. Let no one fool himself, nor think that someone else can "give" it to him. Whenever I fell into a state of mental stagnation, my Master could do nothing for me. But I never gave up trying to keep in tune with him by cheerfully performing whatever he asked me to do. "I have come to him for God-realization," I reasoned, "and I must listen to his advice."

The soul's first adventure is the fight between two ideas: the wish to return to earth in a human form, and the desire to feel the freedom of having no form.

Forget your dream-born mortal weakness. Wake up and know that you and God are one.

The Bhagavad-Gita is where God Himself talks to His devotee Arjuna.
