"Let us humble ourselves before the Almighty Lord of the worlds, and pray to Him to use us as He wills, for the service of humanity. Such an occasion He has created for you. Be a mere instrument. Give up anxiety, fear and doubt. Let His divine energy work in you in its full and irresistible course."

"Life is granted to us for the sake of Anand. Indeed, life springs from Anand; it lives in Anand and ultimately it merges in Anand."

"The ideal you are seeking is within you. The perfected harmony and the ineffable peace are within you. The infinite power of God is within you. The eternal purity, wisdom and joy are within you. Be fixed up in the sublime Yoga, union with the great Ideal, and bring a divine touch to bear upon all your activities."

In our ignorance, through anguish, we may cry out, "Oh, God, where art Thou?" From within our heart, comes the sweet and glorious reply, "Here I am, O, child." Thou art the eternal fountain of love and bliss, ever dwelling within our hearts.

He says, "Child, I am always with you; give up cares and doubts and fears. You are safe beneath the wings of my protection. You are immortal like myself. On the plane of eternity, you and I are one."

What courage, what assurance, these words of His infuse into our hearts!

The heart is ever bright with His magnificence. Darkness never is, and never was. Light only is, and is always.

"When we are on this path of devotion, it is truly a joy to live in whatever position God places us. Hence it is that Bhaktas did not desire for a complete absorption in God, i.e., Moksha, but prayed to Him to grant them as many lives or births as He willed, provided He made them live for His love alone."

- Swami Ramdas
