Quotes

For a devotee, his Guru is never a figure of the past but a living presence, throbbing before him.

A true devotee yearns for God alone, not for worldly pursuits or rituals.

Welcome God into your life as joy in your heart, peace in your mind, sweetness in your tongue, warmth in your relations & purity in your conduct.

To realise the Self, meditate upon the Enlightened One.
