If circumstances are bad and you have to bear them, do not make them a part of yourself.

The man of Self-realization knows a bliss that cannot be compared to anything in this world. His joy is independent of any object or sensory experience. It is an incomparable happiness that cannot be described in words. Such joy is known as sattvik-ananda.

What are you afraid of? You are an immortal being. You are neither a man nor a woman, as you may think, but a soul - joyous, eternal.

We do not always see the things that are nearest to us. We pass by riches that lie close at hand and chase after rainbows.

In meditation...the power of God begins to reflect in the clear waters of your consciousness.

The Spirit of God, I realized, is exhaustless Bliss; His body is countless tissues of light.

Millions of people never analyze themselves. Mentally they are mechanical products of the factory of their environment, preoccupied with breakfast, lunch, and dinner, working and sleeping, and going here and there to be entertained. They don't know what or why they are seeking, nor why they never realize complete happiness and lasting satisfaction. By evading self-analysis, people go on being robots, conditioned by their environment. True self-analysis is the greatest art of progress.
