Swami Satchidananda
Image
Now will never leave. It is always here. Like a clear canvas, it awaits our painting.
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
Any kind of expectation creates a problem. We should accept, but not expect. Whatever comes, accept it. Whatever goes, accept it. The immediate benefit is that your mind is always peaceful.
Swami Satchidananda
Image
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
Peace comes not from doing, but from undoing not from getting, but from letting go.
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
[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)

The dedicated ever enjoy Supreme Peace. Therefore, live only to serve.
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
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

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.

Yoga believes in transforming the individual before transforming the world.
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
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)
Swami Satchidananda
Image
Anything that you throw comes back. All your actions are echoes.
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
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
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
You are not given the light by anyone—not even by a spiritual teacher. You are that light.
