Gems from Swami Vivekananda-64:

The condemnation of all weakness--this is the idea in all our teachings which I like, either in philosophy, or in religion, or in work. If you read the Vedas, you will find this word always repeated--fearlessness--fear nothing. Fear is a sign of weakness. We must go about our duties without taking notice of the sneers and the ridicule of the world.

Gems from Mata Amritanandamayi-9:

To become fit to receive grace, we must develop humility in our words and actions. 

Gems from Mother Teresa-13:

Some people come into your life as blessings and some, as lessons.

Gems from Sathguru Jaggi Vasudev - 22:

Love is a longing to include someone as a part of yourself.  It is a possibility to become more than what you are – Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev

Prayer of the day-31

Oh Lord!

Teach me how to trust –

My heart,

My mind,

My intuition,

My inner knowing and

The Blessings of my spirit.

So that I may enter my sacred space and

Love beyond my fear and

Thus walk in balance with the passing of each glorious sun.

-         A Red Indian Prayer

Gems from the Mother(Pondicherry)-1:

Look for the inner causes of disharmony much more than the outer ones.  It is the inside which governs the outside.
