Sayings of Gurudev

When old word side out on the tongue, new melodies break forth from the heart; and where the old tracks are lost, new country is revealed with its wonders.

If our relationship with the divine were all a thing of our own making, how should we rely on it as true, and how should it lend us support? Within us we have that where space and time cease to rule and where the links of evolution are merged in unity.

Knowledge is partial, because our intellect is an instrument, it is only a part of us, it can give us information about things which can be divided and analyzed. But Brahma is perfect, and knowledge which is partial can never be knowledge of Him.

Most people believe the mind to be a mirror, accurately reflecting the world outside them, not realizing that the mind is itself the principal element of creation.

Self Awakening

A person is what his deep desire is. It is our deepest desire in this life that shapes the life to come. So let us direct our deepest desires to realize the self.---- Chandogya Upanishad

Life has the nobler goal of self-illumination, of lighting the lamp of love inside oneself and sharing that lamp with all around us---- Sri Satya Sai Baba

The light of self-knowledge alone illumines all experiences. It shines by its own light. This inner light appears to be outside and to illumine external objects.---- Sage Basishtha

Self-knowledge has always been the theme of the illumined, who know and teach God and the self to be One. As long as one believes himself to be separate from God, he will remain mortal to himself. -----Lillian De Waters

The prayer God hears is the prayer of the heart, that raising of the heart, that suffering of the heart is what God pays attention to; certainly it is foolish to rely upon the usual religious practices and ritual. What matters is your heart, the prayer that arises from your heart that is the prayer that Baba hears that God hears.------ Meher Baba
