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.

Stream of life


A tremendous stream is
 flowing toward the ocean, 
carrying us all along with it;
and though like straws 
and 
scraps of paper 
we may at times
float aimlessly
about,
 in the long run 
we are sure to join 
the Ocean of
 Life and Bliss.

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.”

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.

Live and let others live


Don't Play The Blame Game:  
Condemn none:
if you can stretch out a 
helping hand, do so.
If you cannot, 
fold your hands, 
bless your brothers, and
let them go their own way.

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!
