From My Spiritual Diary-29:

Ø It is pride born of ignorance that blinds our vision. In fact, glory pervades everything, but we cannot see Him because we are reluctant to cast off the veil of nescience that covers our vision. Remove the veil and you will find Him everywhere self-manifested.
Ø
Ø The name you take or the thought you have at the time of your death will determine your destination after death.
Ø
Ø At the time of death, a man loses his wits and becomes very much depressed. If he can but utter once the name of God at that time, it will be enough… He will have nothing to worry about as God will take charge of him. Unless one has acquired the habit of thinking of God constantly by long practice, everything becomes confused in the end on account of the pangs of death, and one cannot then think of God even once. So what is necessary is to recite His name, meditate on Him, and pray to Him constantly.
Ø
Ø We very often notice that people are in the grip of a terrible fright at the time of death; this happens because their minds are not absorbed in holy thoughts and are not centred on God… The glory of God’s name not only saves us from all these fears but also delivers us for all time from the clutches of death. (Swami Vijnanananda)
Ø
Ø It is the ideal man that is the ideal of man, and there is one way to achieve it – to strive for it in the manner in which others have striven, with their example shining before us. Such an ideal carries with it all necessary hope and encouragement; for, what man has done, man can do. (Prof.M.Hiriyanna)
Ø
Ø Life is a mission. Life is sacred. Treat life with the respect and care it deserves and life will treat you with the same consideration. Life is what you make of it. (M.P.Pandit)
