Some quotes from Speaking Tree by Swami Sivananda
- Your duty is to treat everybody with love as a manifestation of the Lord.
- Crave for a thing, you will get it. Renounce the craving, the object will follow you by itself.
- Meditation is the dissolution of thoughts in Eternal awareness or Pure consciousness without objectification, knowing without thinking, merging finitude in infinity.
- A desire arises in the mind. It is satisfied immediately another comes. In the interval which separates two desires a perfect calm reigns in the mind. It is at this moment freed from all thought, love or hate.
- Go beyond science, into the region of metaphysics. Real religion is beyond argument. It can only be lived both inwardly and outwardly.
- Meditation is painful in the beginning but it bestows immortal Bliss and supreme joy in the end.
- Life is short. Time is fleeting. Realize the Self. Purity of the heart is the gateway to God. Aspire. Renounce. Meditate. Be good; do good. Be kind; be compassionate. Inquire, know Thyself.
