From My Spiritual Diary-40:

Ø Whatever the Lord wills, happens. Whether we understand it or not, whatever the all-auspicious God does undoubtedly good for us. If we can understand this, there would no end to our joy.
Ø
Ø Whether conditions are good or bad, the man of luminous intellect always sees the good. It is only through God’s special grace that a person develops such an attitude. When he is perfected in it, all his miseries cease for ever.
Ø
Ø The more we talk about the Lord and rejoice in His glory, the better it is for us. (Swami Turiyananda)
Ø
Ø The wise man, who realizes all beings are not distinct from his own Self, and his own Self as the Self of all beings, does not, by virtue of that perception, hate anyone.
Ø
Ø What delusion, what sorrow can there be for that wise man who realizes the unity of all existence by perceiving all beings as his own Self? (Isa Upanishad).
Ø
Ø When food becomes pure, the mind becomes pure. When the mind becomes pure, memory of one’s divine nature becomes steady. When this is achieved, all the knots of the heart become completely destroyed. (Chandogya Upanishad)
Ø
Ø The Atman is not an object among objects; it is the subject of all experience, the seer behind all acts of seeing, the knower behind all acts of knowing; and, as such, it is one and non-dual. And it is Vyapaka, it pervades all seeing, knowing and all other processes of living. Realizing Him as his own Self, man becomes truly free from all limiting conditions and consequently, becomes also immortal. (Swami Ranganathananda)
