Swami Satchidananda

Swami Satchidananda
Image
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)

Our own true nature is Infinite Joy! Always happy, Always peaceful, Always free.
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)

Every pain has a gain behind it
Swami Satchidananda

Never give up nothing is done overnight. Anyone who achieved anything in life always did it after many failures. Don’t give up hope.
Swami Satchidananda
Image
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
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
The moment you understand yourself as the true Self, you find such peace and bliss that the impressions of the petty enjoyments you experienced before become as ordinary specks of light in front of the brilliant sun.
