Gems from Sri Ramana Maharishi-1:

This desire [for Bliss] is born of the sense of incompleteness. To whom is this sense of incompleteness? Enquire. In deep sleep you were blissful. Now you are not so. What has interposed between that Bliss and this non-bliss? It is the ego. Seek its source and find you are Bliss – Sri Ramana Maharishi

Gems from Sri Satya Sai Baba-1:

Familiarity with books is not knowledge. One's entire life is a continuous process of learning. Any process of inquiry is related to learning. But basically our inquiry should be concerned with finding out what is transient and what is permanent - Sri Satya Sai Baba

Gems from the Mother(Pondicherry)-3:

Do not torment yourself, do not worry; above all try to banish all fear; fear is a dangerous thing which can give importance to something which has none at all – The Mother (Pondy)

Gems from the Bible-37:

In quietness and in confidence shall be your strength – Isaiah 30:15

Gems from the Bhagavad Gita-29:

He 

WHOSE  HAPPINESS  IS  WITHIN,

WHOSE  REJOICING  IS  WITHIN  AND

WHOSE  LIGHT  IS  WITHIN,

that Yogi, established in Brahman,

attains mergence in Brahman.

Gems from Sri Ramakrishna-15:

Many good sayings are to be found in holy books, but merely reading them will not make one religious. One must practise the virtues taught in such books in order to acquire love of God.
