" Be calmly active and actively calm " Yogananda

‎"Be fearless and pure; never waver in your determination or your dedication to the spiritual life. Give freely. Be self-controlled, sincere, truthful, loving, and full of the desire to serve...Learn to be detached and to take joy in renunciation. Do not get angry or harm any living creature, but be compassionate and gentle; show good will to all. Cultivate vigor, patience, will, purity; avoid malice and pride. Then, you will achieve your destiny." -The Bhagavad Gita

When the mind has been made still, a person also communicates with everyone he meets. He does not need many words: when the glance meets he understands.

Two persons may talk and discuss all their lives and yet never understand one another. Two others with still minds look at one another and in one moment a communication is established between them.

- Inayat Khan

‎"The mind is above time and space. If you decide not to complain, it will immediately compensate you with intuition."
-Yogi Bhajan

Desires are the most unrelenting enemies of man; he cannot appease them. Have only one desire: to know God. Satisfying the sensory desires cannot satisfy you, because you are not the senses. They are only your servants, not your Self.
- Parama­hansa Yogananda

O God, the stars are shining:
All eyes have closed in sleep;
The kings have locked their doors.
Each lover is alone, in secret, with the one he
loves.
And I am here too: alone, hidden from all of
them—
With You.
