If you have done something meritorious, you experience pleasure and happiness; if wrong things, suffering. A happy or unhappy life is your own creation. Nobody else is responsible. If you remember this, you wonโt find fault with anybody. You are your own best friend as well as your worst enemy. (99)
Swami SatchidanandaYou are the cause of your own joy or your own misery. You hold that power. You are your own friend and your own enemy.
Swami SatchidanandaIn not only the physical science, but in the real mental silence, the wisdom dawns.
Swami SatchidanandaWhen even one virtue becomes our nature, the mind becomes clean and tranquil. Then there is no need to practice meditation; we will automatically be meditating always. (151)
Swami SatchidanandaMusic is the celestial sound, and it is sound that controls the whole universe, not atomic vibrations. Sound energy, sound power, is much, much greater than any other power in the world.
Swami SatchidanandaWe donโt exhaust the Bible even after reading it hundreds of times. Each time we read it we see it in a new light. That is the greatness of the holy scriptures. They are that way because they were created by holy prophets who experienced the truth. Each time we read these works we elevate ourselves to see a little more. (81)
