Different people call on [God] by different names: some as Allah, some as God, and others as Krishna, Siva, and Brahman. It is like the water in a lake. Some drink it at one place and call it 'jal', others at another place and call it 'pani', and still others at a third place and call it 'water'. The Hindus call it 'jal', the Christians 'water', and the Moslems 'pani'. But it is one and the same thing.

Longing is like the rosy dawn. After the dawn out comes the sun. Longing is followed by the vision of God.

What is the use of merely listening to lectures? The real thing is practice.

The grace of God is a wind which is always blowing.

What Brahman is cannot be described. All things in the world — the Vedas, the Puranas, the Tantras, the six systems of philosophy — have been defiled, like food that has been touched by the tongue, for they have been read or uttered by the tongue. Only one thing has not been defiled in this way, and that is Brahman. No one has ever been able to say what Brahman is.

God is everywhere but He is most manifest in man. So serve man as God. That is as good as worshipping God.

The winds of grace are always blowing, but you have to raise the sail.
