..just do, leave it there, if it comes let it come, but don't look for it.
Swami Satchidananda

If your heart is beautiful, your face will be beautiful, your life will be beautiful, everything will be beautiful.
Swami Satchidananda

[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)

Not only does charity begin at home. Everything begins at home, including spirituality.
Swami Satchidananda
Image
[C]ontinence is a very important part of yoga. If a handful of people come forward with strong wills, nothing is impossible. One Buddha changed half the globe one Jesus, three quarters of the world. We all have that capacity. (140)

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)
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
Image
Now will never leave. It is always here. Like a clear canvas, it awaits our painting.
Swami Satchidananda
Image
You are not given the light by anyone—not even by a spiritual teacher. You are that light.
Swami Satchidananda
Image
Begin with little things daily and one day you will be doing things that months back you would have thought impossible.
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)

Mere philosophy will not satisfy us. We cannot reach the goal by mere words alone. Without practice, nothing can be achieved. (3)
