quote 5323 | Vivekananda

Y our own Self-Realization is the greatest service you can render the world.

temple_hindu

quote 5322 | Ramana Maharshi

T he wise who knows the Self as bodiless within the bodies, as unchanging among changing things, as great and omnipresent, does never grieve. That Self cannot be gained by the Veda, nor by understanding, nor by much learning. He whom the Self chooses, by him the Self can be gained. The Self chooses him (his body) as his own. But he who has not first turned away from his wickedness, who is not tranquil, and subdued, or whose mind is not at rest, he can never obtain the Self (even) by knowledge.

quote 5318 | Ramakrishna

H induism is therefore not a definite dogmatic creed, but a vast, complex, but subtly unified mass of spiritual thought and realization. Its tradition of the God-ward endeavour of the human spirit has been continuously enlarging through the ages.

temple_hindu

quote 5306 | Ramakrishna

W hich is as poison in the beginning, but is like nectar in the end; that is declared to be good pleasure, born from the serenity of one’s own mind. That which is like nectar in the beginning from the connection of the sense-object with the senses, but is as poison in the end, is held to be of passion.

temple_hindu

quote 5305 | The Bhagavat Gita

W henever dharma declines and the purpose of life is forgotten, I manifest myself on earth. I am born in every age to protect the good, to destroy evil, and to re-establish dharma.

temple_hindu

quote 5304 | The Bhagavat Gita

H induism... gave itself no name, because it set itself no sectarian limits; it claimed no universal adhesion, asserted no sole infallible dogma, set up no single narrow path or gate of salvation; it was less a creed or cult than a continuously enlarging tradition of the God-ward endeavour of the human spirit. An immense many-sided and many staged provision for spiritual selfbuilding and self-finding; it had some right to speak of itself by the only name it knew, Santana Dharma; the Eternal Truth.

temple_hindu

quote 5303 | Aurobindo Ghose

T he Supreme Spirit or the Brahman is alone real and the individual Self is only the Supreme Self and no other. Brahman is Supreme Intelligence, devoid of attributes, form, changes or limitations. It is self-luminous and all pervading and is without a second. The empirical world is unreal, an illusion born of ignorance. The jiva (Self) continues in Samsara (earthly life) only as long as it retains attachment due to ignorance or Maya (illusion). If it casts off the veil of Maya through knowledge or Jnana it will realize its identity with the Brahman and get merged into it.

temple_hindu

quote 5302 | (Adi Shankaracharya) Shankara

T here is no existence for what is unreal, and there is no non-existence for what is real. To know the correct conclusion for both of these things is to know the truth. What pervades all of this is inexhaustible and indestructible; nothing can bring about its destruction.

temple_hindu

quote 5301 | The Bhagavat Gita

F rom unreality (this illusory world), lead me to Reality. From darkness (ignorance of You), lead me to Light (Knowledge of You). From death (fear of death), lead me, to Deathlessness (Eternal life), Om Peace, Peace, Peace

quote 5300 | The Upanishads

T he flowering of meditation is goodness, and the generosity of the heart is the beginning of meditation."

"Meditation is a movement in and of the unknown. You are not there, only the movement. You are too petty or too great for this movement. It has nothing behind it or in front of it. It is that energy which thought-matter cannot touch. Thought is perversion, for it is the product of yesterday; it is caught in the toils of centuries and so is confused, unclear. Do what you will, the known cannot reach out for the unknown. Meditation is the dying to the known. [...] Everything put together by thought is within the area of noise, and thought can in no way make itself still [...], thought itself must be still for silence to be. Silence is always now as thought is not. Thought, always being old, cannot possibly enter into that silence which is always new. The new becomes the old when thought touches it [...] Love can only be when thought is still. This stillness can in no way be manufactured by thought [...] this stillness can never be touched by thought. Thought is always old, but love is not [...] the flowering of goodness is not in the soil of thought."
