quote 5344 | Amirthanandamayi

O nly two kinds of people can attain self-knowledge: those who are not encumbered at all with learning; that is to say, whose minds are not over-crowded with thoughts borrowed from others; and those who, after studying all the scriptures and sciences, have come to realise that they know nothing.

quote 5342 | Ramakrishna

A s large as this ether (all space) is, so large is that ether within the heart. Both heaven and earth are contained within it, both fire and air, both sun and moon, both lightning and stars; and whatever there is of him (the Self) here in the world, and whatever is not (i.e. whatever has been or will be), all that is contained within it.

temple_hindu

quote 5338 | The Bhagavat Gita

I f I were asked to define the Hindu creed, I should simply say: Search after truth through non-violent means. A man may not believe in God and still call himself a Hindu. Hinduism is a relentless pursuit after truth. Hinduism is the religion of truth. Truth is God. Denial of God we have known. Denial of truth we have not known.

quote 5337 | Gandhi

T he great secret of true success, of true happiness, is this: the man or woman who asks for no return, the perfectly unselfish person, is the most successful.

temple_hindu

quote 5336 | Vivekananda

Y ou see many stars at night in the sky, but find them not when the sun rises. Can you say that there are no stars, then, in the heaven of day? So, O man, because you behold not the Almighty in the days of your ignorance, say not that there is no God.

temple_hindu

quote 5335 | Ramakrishna

P erseverance in seeking to gain the knowledge of the Supreme Spirit, and perception of the gain that comes from knowledge of the truth. This is called knowledge; all that is contrary to this is ignorance.

quote 5334 | The Bhagavat Gita

S ince you alone are responsible for your thoughts, only you can change them.

temple_hindu

quote 5333 | Paramhansa Yogananda

Y our duty is to be and not to be this or that. ‘I am that I am’ sums up the whole truth. The method is summed up in the words ‘Be still’. What does stillness mean? It means destroy yourself. Because any form or shape is the cause for trouble. Give up the notion that ‘I am so and so’. All that is required to realize the Self is to be still. What can be easier than that?

temple_hindu

quote 5326 | Shirdi Sai Baba

K now the Self to be sitting in the chariot, the body to be the chariot, the intellect the charioteer, and the mind the reins. The senses they call the horses, the objects of the senses their roads.
