"Sri Ram, who is infinite love, is the Divine Mother and Ramdas is Her all-trusting child. She is the sole doer. All the work of love is Hers. She is the abode of harmony, peace, and joy. Ramdas only plays away his time here, as She wills. She makes the child talk, dance and do all things. She tells Ramdas, 'O child, it is My power in you and in all beings that causes all activity, movement and change. Yours is only to submit to My will. Be ever a pure, simple child of Mine. You have nothing to hope, nothing to fear, only to rest in My bosom in perfect security, peace and joy.' Ramdas cries out in reply, 'O Divine Mother, Ramdas is Thine for ever and for ever'."

"This life is not worth living if it is not lived for the love of God. When the heart is aglow with this love, all sorrow vanishes, giving place to the never failing spring of eternal joy."

"Sri Ram, the Eternal Existence, Consciousness and Bliss, is within your heart. He is infinite power, light and peace. Be ever cheerful. There is nothing to worry about. Fatalism gives rise to pessimism, but self-surrender brings about its opposite, optimism. Fatalism is false. We are in the hands of a most benevolent and merciful Being."

"Our attachment to the ever-changing and perishable forms about us is the cause of our misery. We ignore the fact that whatever is born must die. Let us ask ourselves, "Is it then worthwhile to be attached to the inconstant and transient things?"

- Swami Ramdas
