-
That alone is knowledge through
which one is able to know God. All else is futile.
-
What will a man gain by knowing
many scriptures? The one thing
needful is to know how to cross the river of the
world. God alone is real, and all else illusory.
-
If a man repeats the name of God, his body,
mind, and everything become pure. Why should one
talk only about sin and hell, and such things?
Say but once, ‘O Lord, I have undoubtedly done
wicked things, but I won’t repeat them.’ And
have faith in His name.”
-
All doubts disappear when one
sees God. It is one thing to hear of God, but
quite a different thing to see Him. A man cannot
have one hundred per cent conviction through
mere hearing. But if he beholds God face to
face, then he is wholly convinced.
-
The body has, indeed, only a
momentary existence. God alone is real. Now the
body exists, and now it does not.
-
The joys and sorrows of the body
are inevitable. Look at Narendra (Swami
Vivekananda). His father is dead, and his people
have been put to extreme suffering. He can't
find any way out of it. God places one sometimes
in happiness and sometimes in misery.
-
It is good to help those who
yearn for God. Thus one makes good use of one's
money.
-
What is knowledge and what is
ignorance? A man is ignorant so long as he feels
that God is far away. He has knowledge when he
knows that God is here and everywhere.
-
When a man has true knowledge he
feels that everything is filled with
Consciousness.
-
There are various paths to reach
God. Each view is a path. It is like reaching
the Kali temple by different roads. But it must
be said that some paths are clean and some
dirty. It is good to travel on a clean path.
