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

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.

Power of You


All power is within you. 
You can do anything and
everything. 
Believe in that. 
Do not believe 
that you are weak; 
do not believe that you are 
half-crazy lunatics,
as most of us 
do nowadays. 
Stand up and express 
the divinity within you.

The road not taken

Think Different: 
All differences in this 
world are of degree,
and not of kind, 
because oneness is the 
secret of everything.

Being yourself


Be Yourself: 
The greatest religion 
is to be 
true to your own nature. 
Have faith in yourselves! 

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.

Vivekananda about money


Help Others:
If money helps a man
to do good to others, 
it is of some value; 
but if not,
it is simply a 
mass of evil, and
the sooner 
it is got rid of, the better.

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.

Set yourself free

Set Yourself Free: 
The moment
I have realised God sitting
in the temple of 
every human body,
the moment 
I stand in reverence 
before every human being and 
see God in him - 
that moment 
I am free from bondage, 
everything that
binds vanishes, and 
I am free.

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.
