"The great Teachers of the world have given us the same truths. Buddha taught us to purify ourselves and have compassion for all creatures. Jesus Christ asked us to love all beings as we love ourselves. Krishna taught us to see the Divine in each and everyone in the world. Mohammed taught us to submit to the will of God and be His instruments. If we but follow the teachings of these great Masters, we have no reason to quarrel among ourselves on any account."

“All Sadhanas are intended to still the mind and finally eliminate it in order to become established in the Self. The test of right Sadhana is attainment of joy.”

Whatever work God provides you, do it dispassionately - yourself, a mere instrument, with God's power or Shakti as the doer. God is love; He is in your heart. Surrender to Him. Let Him be your guide and master in all matters. Give up doubts, cares and fears.

"There is nothing to lose or gain in this life. We are ever dwelling in the consciousness of God. Our satisfactions or the reverse, relating to the perishable, are all ephemeral. The real is He, the immortal bliss and peace; and we are all He."

"Reason and emotion are surely great aids; but we should remember that they are only means to an end. When they have served their purpose, if we still cling to them they prove as serious a hindrance as ignorance and callousness, to the attainment of the final liberation."

"Every particle of our body - as the whole universe - is thrilling with Sri Ram's love. So there is nothing but Anand in all movement, change and activity. There is nothing but peace in the depths of all forms, the result of movement and change. So eternal peace-and-bliss is the only Reality."

"The whole burden of the universe is on Him. Take it that yours also is on Him. All along, it has been nowhere else. It is He who guides, controls, protects us. Surrender completely to Him. Know, His will is done in all matters. He is all merciful and loving. He is the sole parent of the universe. We are His children. Since He is dwelling in our hearts, we have no cause to be unhappy and miserable. We are ever in blissful union with Him. All else is a passing show. May Sri Ram bless you with peace!"
- Swami Ramdas
