The nature of life is to grow.

Only a new seed will yield a new crop.

The most effective teachers embody the teaching they give out.

If you’re too busy to meditate twice a day, you’re just too busy.

We are not responding to this instant if we are judging any aspect of it.

The state of least excitation of consciousness is the field of all possibilities.

Gently resist the temptation to chase your dreams into the world; pursue them in your heart until they disappear into the Self, and leave them there.

We have an infinite number of reasons to be happy, and a serious responsibility not be serious.

All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think, we become.

Do not fight the darkness, let the light in and the darkness will disappear.

The flower of life blooms in love and radiates love all around it.

Rest and activity are the steps of progress.

From tiny, tiny waves of joy, one gets to the ocean of happiness, which is called bliss.

To get the knowledge (realization) of the self, dhyana (meditation) is necessary. if you practice it continuously, the vrittis (thoughts) will be pacified. being quite desireless, you should meditate on the lord, who is in all the creatures, and when the mind is concentrated, the goal will be achieved.

If you spread your palms with devotion before me, i am immediately with you, day and night. though, i am here bodily, still I know what you do; beyond the seven seas. go wherever you will, over the wide world, i am with you.

My abode is in your heart and i am within you. always worship me, who is seated in your heart, as well as, in the hearts of all beings, blessed and fortunate, indeed, is he who knows me thus.

People abuse their own friends and family, but it is only after performing many meritorious acts that one gets a human birth. Why then come to Shirdi and slander people?

If anyone gets angry with another, they wound me to the quick. If you cannot endure abuse from another, just say a simple word or two, or else leave. What do we lose by another’s good fortune? Let us celebrate with them, or strive to emulate them.

If formless meditation is difficult, then think of my form just as you see it here. With such meditation, the difference between subject and object is lost and the mind dissolves in unity.
