For every living thing is a partial manifestation of God, conditioned only by its lack of knowledge of its own true nature. The whole of evolution, in fact, is an evolution from unconscious divinity to conscious divinity, in which God Himself, essentially eternal and unchangeable, assumes an infinite variety of forms, enjoys an infinite variety of experiences, and transcends an infinite variety of self-imposed limitations.
The spirit of true love and sacrifice is beyond all ledgers and needs no measures. A constant wish to love and be loving and a non-calculating will to sacrifice in every walk of life, high and low, big and small...
The glory of the Almighty transcends all human understanding and defies all verbal descriptions.
If you want to be certain about the object of love before giving your love, it is only a form of calculating selfishness.
Love and understanding never condemn, but seek to help and encourage.
Remember to begin the day with a prayer and remember the Lord when the day is ended, when your activities have calmed down. Remember Him, dedicate your strengths and your weaknesses to Him!
Its better to deny God, than to defy God.
Ignorance believes: The cosmos is a reality; birth, death, old age, wealth, honor are real. Knowledge knows: The cosmos is a dream. God alone is Real.
...the more a person becomes spiritually minded or advances towards God, the more tolerant he becomes and the less differentiation he sees.
No amount of prayer or meditation can do what helping others can do.
Love is the reflection of God's unity in the world of duality. It constitutes the entire significance of creation.
The voice that is heard deep within the soul is My voice the voice of inspiration, of intuition, of guidance.
When true love is awakened in the aspirant, it leads him to the realization of God and opens up the unlimited field of lasting and unfading happiness.
Through endless time God's greatest gift is continuously given in silence. But when mankind becomes completely deaf to the thunder of his silence, God incarnates as man.
God can only be lived.
Happiest is he who expects no happiness from others.
Love delights and glorifies in giving, not receiving.
Those who constantly want something will never feel happy.
It is not the outward escape from the world that leads you to God.
