"Yoga denotes equilibrium?a condition of unalterable and unshakable peace and joy."
"Why should He have left so many beings in utter ignorance of His love, and the resulting bliss? His maya is mysterious! To probe deeper into the question brings the subtlest truth to light, that He alone is the sole actor behind the variegated and multiple veil of maya."
"Why should you feel dissatisfied when you know that the Sat-Chit-Anand swarup of God is within you? He is the goal, He is the path; and you are eternally He."
"You are not to determine the exact fruit your work must bring to you but to be contented with what God grants you as your share in the outcome of your toil."
"You may call Him by any name you like but the Truth is always one and the same."
"You are the Truth itself, you are the Ideal itself. Infinity and eternity are the qualities of your true existence, where duality and differentiation have no significance."
"Your Guru, God and Guide, is ever within you. Through constant remembrance of Him draw strength and peace from Him."
"You, as an individual actor, apart from the universal Truth and Spirit, are utterly imaginary. You?and all the rest? do actions by the supreme Will and Power of the Lord."
"Your life and all its activities belong to God. Do not undertake to follow any course prompted by the ego-ridden mind."
