Ø You must draw up a routine before you start your spiritual practices. And you must not take upon yourself any work which may stand in the way of following the routine. (Swami Shivananda)
Ø Silence simply prolongs life; religion deepens it. (Inscription below the bust of Dr.Y.Subba Row in Lederle Labs, Bulsar, Gujarat)
Ø The disciplining of the mind is to be pursued with dauntless and cheerful determination, just like the determination to empty the ocean, drop by drop, by the tip of a kusa grass. (Gudapada in ‘Mandukya Karia’)
Ø In spiritual life, the bait that we fix to the hook of our mind is love of God and purity of character and sincerity in our search for God, which alone can attract God. (Swami Ranganathananda)
Ø The spirit behind both pure science and religion is the same, namely, PERSISTENT SEARCH FOR TRUTH. (Swami Ranganathananda)
Ø One concentrated, fully conscious, sincere utterance of the MANTRA is equivalent to hundreds of its absent-minded repetitions. Out of a thousand repetitions, only one may have been properly done. That is why you are asked to repeat the name of the Lord so many times. (Swami Yatiswarananda).
Ø Our words are not consistent with our thoughts. The first step in religion is to be sincere to the core. Shri Ramakrishna used to say that this is the foremost requisite in spiritual life. (Swami Saradananda).
Ø Weakness breeds all sorts of meanness. It is the source of all sins. (Swami Saradananda)
