"Sages point out surrender to God's will, i.e., to His Power or Shakti, as the path of Self-realisation. This surrender is effected only by the total eradication of the ego. Let us know once for all that we are merely instruments in His hands. He is the Sutradhari and we are every second being made to dance like puppets to His will. Consciousness of this truth must be with us always. Hence we are asked to keep up His remembrance unceasingly."

"Without any external change of activity, or of the situation in which God has chosen to place us, we can realise the highest state of bliss and liberation. The important thing is that we purge the mind of its prejudices, favours and attachments, and then lift ourselves above the working of the ego and live in divine consciousness."

"Let us give up all doubts, fears and anxieties, and merge our mind in the sweet sound of His glorious name. Let us sing, with all love and devotion, His great attributes. He is our Mother. We are His children. He is our all in all. Life is sweet and blessed when it is lived for His sake. There is nothing so blissful as devotion to His lotus feet. All glory to Him and His name."

"Let us pray to Him to grant us His unbroken remembrance. To fulfill this prayer, He brings about such changes in our life as to enable us to be in touch with Him always. Here He proves to us that He is infinitely kind. Verily, He is kindness and love itself."

"Earthly honour and dishonour, praise and blame, loss and gain, should have no importance for us. Ours is to do the work entrusted to us by Him in the field of action in which He has chosen to place us."

"God is at once personal and impersonal. He is the highest Truth, in whom are combined the attributes of infinite glory, power and greatness. We want Him and Him alone. We crave not for name, fame, wealth or any other transient bauble. We don't mind world's laudation or censure. We stand firm on the rock of immortality; the passing storms, however furious, cannot shake us. With ineffable exultation, from the depths of our being, comes out the bold declaration, 'O God, Thou and I are one.'”

"Love and peace always go together. The pure mind is that which has forgotten and forgiven, and is therefore a very home of love and peace. 'Blessed are the pure in heart because they shall see God.'"
