Quote

Truth is the same always. Whoever ponders it will get the same answer. Buddha got it. Patanjali got it. Jesus got it. Mohammed got it. The answer is the same, but the method of working it out may vary this way or that. (115)

Now will never leave. It is always here. Like a clear canvas, it awaits our painting.
Swami Satchidananda
Image
Not only does charity begin at home. Everything begins at home, including spirituality.
Swami Satchidananda
Image
[O]ur own bodies are changing every second. Yet we take the body to be our Self and, speaking in terms of it, we say, “I am hungry” or “I am lame” “I am black” or “I am white.” These are all just the conditions of the body. We touch the truth when we say, “My body aches,” implying the body belongs to us and that therefore we are not that. (87)

If you do not pour water on your plant, what will happen? It will slowly wither and die. Our habits will also slowly wither and die away if we do not give them an opportunity to manifest. You need not fight to stop a habit. Just don’t give it an opportunity to repeat itself. (67)

Mere philosophy will not satisfy us. We cannot reach the goal by mere words alone. Without practice, nothing can be achieved. (3)
Swami Satchidananda
Image
The cause of bandha and moksha (bondage and liberation) is our own minds. If we think we are bound, we are bound. If we think we are liberated, we are liberated. . . . It is only when we transcend the mind that we are free from all these troubles. (117)
Swami Satchidananda

Swami Satchidananda

Music is the celestial sound, and it is sound that controls the whole universe, not atomic vibrations. Sound energy, sound power, is much, much greater than any other power in the world.
Swami Satchidananda
Image
If we only look within, we will see he Light as if we were seeing our own image in a mirror. (122)
Swami Satchidananda
Image
You are not given the light by anyone—not even by a spiritual teacher. You are that light.
Swami Satchidananda
Image
True love knows no bargains. It is one-way traffic: giving, giving, giving.
Swami Satchidananda
Image
. . . I feel we don’t really need scriptures. The entire life is an open book, a scripture. Read it. Learn while digging a pit or chopping some wood or cooking some food. If you can’t learn from your daily activities, how are you going to understand the scriptures? (233)
