True love knows no bargains. It is one-way traffic: giving, giving, giving.
Swami Satchidananda

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)

We can be serene even in the midst of calamities and, by our serenity, make others more tranquil.
Swami Satchidananda

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

God knows your breaking point. You simply don’t know your own strength.
Swami Satchidananda

[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)
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)
Swami Satchidananda
Image
Yoga believes in transforming the individual before transforming the world. Whatever change we want to happen outside should happen within. If you walk in peace and express that peace in your very life, others will see you and learn something.
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)
Swami Satchidananda
Image
You are not given the light by anyone—not even by a spiritual teacher. You are that light.
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
Give up the drop and gain the whole ocean.
Swami Satchidananda
Image
At various points in our lives, or on a quest, and for reasons that often remain obscure, we are driven to make decisions which prove with hindsight to be loaded with meaning. (225)
