Do not allow yourself to suppress your thoughts. Instead, let the thoughts come before you and become a sort of observer. Start observing your own mind. Do not try to escape; do not be afraid of your thinking.
Rama SwamiThe poor long for riches, the rich long for heaven, but the wise long for a state of tranquility.
Rama SwamiTo achieve purity of mind, one should cultivate constant awareness by being mindful all the time. One should remain always aware of one's thoughts.
Rama SwamiWhat Jesus meant was that whoever is attached to the worldly life and this earthly body will lose them in death. But whoever lets go of attachments to this worldly life and this earthly body and identifies with the permanence or God-consciousness that Jesus represented, will never die.
Rama SwamiAll beings exist in an invisible state and then come to a state of visibility. Change occurs only on the surface, for the self-existent glory remains unchanged; changing form does not affect the self-existent Reality. Atman, Soul or the Self, dwells in all that is perishable, yet it remains imperishable.
Rama Swami
