There is one Cosmic Essence, all-pervading, all-knowing, all-powerful. This nameless formless essence can be approached by any name, any form, any symbol that suites the taste of the individual. Follow your religion, but try to understand the real purpose behind all of the rituals and traditions, and experience that Oneness.
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 SatchidanandaAny kind of expectation creates a problem. We should accept, but not expect. Whatever comes, accept it. Whatever goes, accept it. The immediate benefit is that your mind is always peaceful.
Swami SatchidanandaIf your heart is beautiful, your face will be beautiful, your life will be beautiful, everything will be beautiful.
Swami Satchidananda
