We don’t exhaust the Bible even after reading it hundreds of times. Each time we read it we see it in a new light. That is the greatness of the holy scriptures. They are that way because they were created by holy prophets who experienced the truth. Each time we read these works we elevate ourselves to see a little more. (81)
Swami Satchidananda
Image
You are the cause of your own joy or your own misery. You hold that power. You are your own friend and your own enemy.
Swami Satchidananda
Image
You are not given the light by anyone—not even by a spiritual teacher. You are that light.
Swami Satchidananda
Image
If you are becoming more easeful, peaceful & useful then you know you are growing.
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)

We can be serene even in the midst of calamities and, by our serenity, make others more tranquil.
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
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)
Swami Satchidananda
Image
Temples and churches have become social centers. They have lost their original purpose because the minds of the people are more attracted to worldly things than to prayer. The lips repeat the prayer mechanically like a phonograph record, but the mind wanders to other places. (23-24)
Swami Satchidananda
Image
Do you want to know the secret of life? If you want to have everything, don’t want anything. Everything will run after you.
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
True love knows no bargains. It is one-way traffic: giving, giving, giving.
Swami Satchidananda
Image
..just do, leave it there, if it comes let it come, but don't look for it.
Swami Satchidananda
Image
The purification of the mind is very necessary. (72)
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.
Swami Satchidananda
Image
There is one Cosmic Essence, all-pervading, all-knowing, all-powerful. This nameless formless essence can be approached by any name, any form, any symbol that suites the taste of the individual. Follow your religion, but try to understand the real purpose behind all of the rituals and traditions, and experience that Oneness.
Swami Satchidananda

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
[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)
