Happiness and Misery

After every happiness 
comes misery; 
they may be 
far apart or near. 
The more advanced 
the soul, 
the more quickly does 
one follow the other. 
What we want is
neither happiness 
nor misery. 
Both make us forget our 
true nature

Religion

 All who have actually 
attained any 
real religious experience 
never wrangle over
the form in which 
the different religions are 
expressed. 


They know that the soul
of all religions is 
the same and so 
they have no quarrel 
with anybody just
because
he or she does not 
speak in the same tongue.

Truth

All truth is eternal.
Truth is nobody’s property;
no race, no individual
can lay any
exclusive claim to it.
Truth is the nature of all souls.

Who is God - Its you

All that is real in me is God; 
all that is real in God is I. 
The gulf between God and
human beings is thus
bridged. 
Thus we find how, 
by knowing God, 
we find the
kingdom of heaven 
within us.

Mind - The Library of Universe

All knowledge 
that the world has 
ever received 
comes from the mind,
the infinite
library of the universe
is in our own mind.

The Performer

A few heart-whole, 
sincere, and energetic
men and women
can do more
 in a year 
than a mob
in a century.

Be a Hero

“The earth is enjoyed by heroes”
this is the unfailing truth. 
Be a hero. 
Always
say,
 “I have no fear.”

Comfort and truth

“Comfort”
is no test of truth; 
on the contrary,
truth is often far from being
“comfortable.”

Meaning of life

I do not want to get 
material life, 
do not want the sense-life, 
but something higher.
That is renunciation. 
Then, 
by the power of meditation,
undo the
mischief that has been done.

The thread of all

I am the thread that runs 
through all these pearls,
and each pearl is a religion
or 
even a sect thereof. Such are
 the different pearls, and
God is the thread that
runs through all of them; 
most people, however, 
are entirely unconscious of it.

Listen to your Heart

Listen To Your Soul:
You have to grow 
from the inside out. 
None can teach you, 
none can make 
you spiritual. 
There is no other teacher 
but your own soul.

Ideal of life

Uphold Your Ideals:
Our duty is to encourage 
every one in his struggle 
to live up to his 
own highest idea, and 
strive at the 
same time to
make the ideal 
as near as possible to the 
Truth.

The way you feel

It's The Way You Feel: 

Feel like
Christ and you will be a Christ; 
feel like Buddha and
you will be a Buddha. 
It is feeling that is the life, 
the strength, the vitality,
without which no amount 
of intellectual activity 
can reach God.

Life is Beautiful

Life is Beautiful:
First, believe in this world -

that there is meaning behind 
everything. 
Everything in the world is good,
is holy and beautiful. 
If you see something evil, 
think that you
do not understand
it in the right light. 
Throw the burden on yourselves!

Attitude

It's Your Outlook 
That Matters: It is our 
own mental attitude,
which makes the world 
what it is for us. 
Our thoughts make 
things beautiful, 
our thoughts make
things ugly. 
The whole world
 is in our own minds.
Learn to see things in the 
proper light.

Law of life

Love Is The Law Of Life: 
All love is expansion, 
all selfishness is contraction.
Love is therefore the only law of life. 
He who loves lives, 
he who is selfish is dying. 
Therefore,
 love for love's sake, 
because it is law of life,
 just as you breathe to live.
