The body is only a garment. How many times you have changed your clothing in this life, yet because of this you would not say that you have changed. Similarly, when you give up this bodily dress at death you do not change. You are just the same, an immortal soul, a child of God.

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.

When the mind is calm, how quickly, how smoothly, how beautifully you will perceive everything.

Just behind the darkness of closed eyes shines the light of God. When you behold that light in meditation, hold onto it with devotional zeal. Feel yourself inside it: That is where God dwells.

Success is not rightly measured by the worldly standards of wealth, prestige and power. None of these bestow happiness unless they are rightly used. To use them rightly one must possess wisdom and love for God and man.

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

Have only love in your heart for others. The more you see the good in them, the more you will establish good in yourself.
