Mildness and humility are the fulfillment of strength and self-confidence. | |
|
You are not the body; you are not the mind; you are pure spirit. | |
|
Therefore, perform action always without attachment. For by such work, a person attains the supreme goal. | |
|
Our duty is to encourage everyone in his/her struggles to live up to his/her highest ideal ... and to make that ideal as near as possible to the truth. | |
|
Then that soul is a lamp whose light is steady, for it burns in a place where no wind blows. | |
|
(On Sri Ramakrishna:) His body was a mere shell, a receptacle within which dwelt only Divinity, nothing else. | |
|
Yoga is the practice that binds one to Divinity. | |
|
Knowing that the Lord is in everything, the devotee manifests love toward all beings. | |
|
As the sun is not stained by the clouds, so the inner self is not stained by the external. |
| Our reality consists in The Universal; and not in the limited. | |
| If we practice every day a little and remember the Ideal, we shall eventually master our mind. | |
| Thou art the infinite. The Universal is in Thee. Calm thyself and listen to the true voice of thy true self. | |
| The mind, pure, becomes the spirit. The mind, impure, becomes matter | |
| Do your work with one hand, and touch the feet of the Lord with the other; do all in the spirit of offering. | |
| The Effort: to realize the highest ideal of eternal life | |
| As the sun is not stained by the clouds, so also the inner Self is not stained by the external. | |
| Give up selfish work, for it creates bondage. One devoted to the quest of truth goes beyond duty. | |
| Love of God is the essence of all spiritual practice. Through love, one acquires renunciation and discrimination. |
