Ø Pranayama comes of itself to those who repeat the Lord’s holy name and think and meditate on Him with devout and intense longing. In the spiritual life, the result of this is immeasurable. In practical life also there is a growth of mental powers, purity of character, peace of mind, charity, resolute will etc. (Swami Shivananda)

Ø Whatever progress and success humanity has achieved ever since the creation of the world is all due to the concentration of the mind. The leaders of our civilization during the early stages were men who were really yogis. Every invention, every new discovery is purely the outcome of concentration. … In whatever station of life you may be, if you can concentrate your mind, you are sure to be the best in that field…. Concentration is the mother of untold wealth, both material and spiritual. (Swami Ramakrishnananda)
Ø
Ø We are the children of the Mother, and there is no fear for us. We shall rest satisfied wherever she places us. We cannot say what is good and what is evil, it is beyond our reasoning and so we have to pray, “You are beyond good and evil, therefore take us also beyond them.” (Swami Turiyananda)
Ø
Ø The importance of purity in spiritual life was highlighted by Swami Vivekananda, when he described it as the condition of God’s mercy, in a paper he presented at the Parliament of Religions. We should struggle and struggle till his ideas are realized for the good of one’s own self, of the community, of the country and of the world. (Swami Rasajnanananda)
Ø
Ø If in this hell of a world, one can bring a little joy and peace for a day into the heart of a single person, that much alone is true; this I have learnt after suffering all my life; all else is mere moonshine. (Swami Vivekananda)
Ø
Ø Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God. (Jesus Christ)
Ø
Ø He who delights in solitude is on the way to self-perfection. (Saint Tayumanavar)
