01/03/2018 "is best for another person may not be best for us and vice versa. Each one of us is in our own individual journey. All of us have traversed different paths and have different lessons to learn. It is following our own inner voice that will ultimately lead us to internal peace and harmony because then we will be doing what is in tune with our Essence - our soul!"

01/03/2018 "The delight of the Self is the delight of Being. It is the Bliss of Consciousness-Absolute. The Being of Consciousness is the Being of Bliss, Eternal. It does not lie in achievement but realisation and experience, not invention but discovery."

01/03/2018 "Just as a river is a flow of water, the 'mind' is a continuous flow of thoughts. To think of stopping the mind is foolishness. The attempt of the seeker in the seat of 'meditation' is not to stop the mind or destroy the mind. The mind is a vehicle, and thoughts are the wheels heading toward their destination. The mind as it is now is moving into the world of objects-emotions-thoughts to derive from it a sense of pleasure and joy. Give the mind a new direction – change the direction of your thoughts. Do not try to stop your 'thoughts'. Instead make them divine." Swami Chinmayananda

01/03/2018 "If the nerve of taste, the glasso-pharyngeal gets paralysed, you cannot enjoy the different kinds of palatable dishes. If your retina or the optic nerve is paralysed you cannot enjoy the diverse beautiful forms. If the auditory nerve is paralysed you cannot hear the melodious music. If the olfactory nerve is paralysed you cannot enjoy the various sweet fragrance. If your sensory nerve of the hands is paralysed you cannot enjoy the soft things. If the nerve erigens is paralysed you cannot enjoy conjugal bliss. Can you not clear & comprehend now that the world is only a mere play of nerves ?"

01/03/2018 “The Unknown is not the Unknowable; it need not remain the unknown for us, unless we choose ignorance or persist in our first limitations. For to all things that are not unknowable, all things in the universe, there correspond in that universe faculties which can take cognisance of them, and in man, the microcosm, these faculties are always existant and at a certain stage capable of development. We may choose not to develop them; where they are partially developed, we may discourage and impose on them a kind of atrophy. But, fundamentally all possible knowledge is knowledge within the power of humanity. And since in man there is the inalienable impulse of Nature towards self-realisation, no struggle of the intellect to limit the action of our capacities within a determined area can for ever prevail.”

01/03/2018 “First learn to be awake when you are in the wakeful state. Then we can think of the sleeping state. We dream of many things even when we are awake. We must learn to guard ourselves against them in our waking state. All that we see about us is a dream. We should wake up from this dream world.”

01/03/2018 "Come out into the broad light of day, come out from the little narrow paths, for how can the infinite soul rest content to live and die in small ruts?"
