SRI ASHUTOSH MAHARAJ ââRasleela was in reality bhavleela, completely devoid of corporeal sensations. It was the celestial, atmik form of a gopi that used to participate in ras. Far above the carnal plane, it was a divine communion between souls (gopis) and the Supreme Soul (Krishna). Krishna Leela is one manifested as many.â

SRI AUROBINDO ââ…and his divine power works in us, not by our artificial processes, but by a working of Nature which is perfectly informed, all-searching and infallibly efficient.â
SRI AUROBINDO ââ…and the entire being given up, as an engine is passive in the hands of the driver, for the divine Love, Might and perfect Intelligence to do its work and fulfill its divine Lila.â

SRI AUROBINDO ââ0 Mother Durga! When we possess thee, we shall no longer cast thee away; we shall bind thee to us with the tie of love and devotion. Come, 0 Mother, Manifest in our mind and life and body Come, 0 Revealer of the hero-path! We shall no longer cast Thee away May our entire life become a ceaseless worship of the Mother, All our acts a continuous service to the Mother, Full of love, full of energy.â
SRI AUROBINDO ââA God who could not smile could not have created this humorous universe.â
SRI AUROBINDO ââAll theories, all teachings are, in the last analysis, nothing but ways of seeing and speaking. Even the highest revelations are worth no more than the power of realisation that comes with them. To live the Supreme Truth, if only for a minute, is worth more than writing or reading hundreds of books on the methods or processes by which to find it.â
SRI AUROBINDO ââIf this attitude of perfect self-surrender can be even imperfectly established, all necessity of yogickriya inevitably ceases. For then, God himself in us becomes the sadhaka and the siddha…â
SRI AUROBINDO ââIt is only limited by his will which knows what is best for the world and for each one of us in the world and apart from it.â
SRI AUROBINDO ââLife is one and immortal. Only the forms are countless, fleeting and brittle… the form is constantly changing and in essence there is nothing to prevent this change from being progressive.â
SRI AUROBINDO ââLore on my sumnyts of calm I have brooded With voices around me.â
SRI AUROBINDO ââNothing must be reserved, no desire, no demand, no opinion, no idea that this must be, that cannot be, that this should be and that should not be â all must be given.â

SRI AUROBINDO ââThe heart must be purified of all desire, the intellect of all self-will….every duality must be renounced, the whole world seen and unseen must be recognised as one supreme expression of concealed Wisdom, Power and Bliss…â
SRI AUROBINDO ââThe surrender must be complete.â
SRI LALITA SAHASRANAMA ââI think of Devi Bhavani as the Supreme I-sense. She is rosy like the dawn, has eyes wherein surge waves of compassion and she holds in her four hands the noose, the goad, the flower arrow and the sugarcane bow. The effulgence of the eight siddhis beginning with minuteness surrounds her. At the time of performing japa we should meditate on the Divine Mother whose glance itself is a lovely smile…who captivates everyone without exception, who is adorned with red garlands and ornaments and who shines with the hue of the China rose.â
SRI MORARI BAPU ââTo truly celebrate Ramaâs birthday, either become complete like the number nine, or empty like the zero. In order to become zero or shunya, as the scriptures refer to this state, remove the following: go, doubt and the desire of unnecessary things.â
SRI NARAYANA GURU ââPeople here on earth, they sleep, wake and think. Various thoughts: watching over all of this with intent eye (witness) There dawns a priceless light, which never shall dim again. Led onward by this, one should move forward.â
SRI NISARGADATTA MAHARAJ ââAbsolute perfection is here and now, not in some future, near or far. The secret is in action â here and now. It is your behaviour that blinds you to yourself. Disregard whatever you think yourself to be and act as if you were absolutely perfect â whatever your idea of perfection may be. All you need is courage.â
SRI NISARGADATTA MAHARAJ ââYou cannot transcend what you do not know. To go beyond yourself, you must know yourself.â
SRI PARAMAHANSA YOGANANDA â”Dare To Be Happy When you are unhappy it is generally because you do not visualize strongly enough the great things that you definitely want to accomplish in life, nor do you employ steadfastly enough your will power, your creative ability, and your patience until your dreams are materialised. Happiness depends to some extent upon external conditions, but chiefly upon mental attitudes. In order to be happy one should have good health, a well-balanced mind, a prosperous life, the right work, a thankful heart, and above all, wisdom or knowledge of God.â
SRI RAM CHANDRA ââAny action, whether it is good or bad, which forms impressions in the mind in creating samskara and, in the spiritual sense, is undesirable. Sinning would appear to be certainly not as bad as the brooding over the sin, because brooding drives the impression deeper and deeper into the mind where samskaras of such hardness are formed that much subsequent effort is required to clean the system. Our Master (Sri Ram Chandraji) advises us to forget the past. The past should not worry us because it is the past, and we can do nothing to change it. What should concern us is the future which we can affect by our present action. The immediate past is of no more consequence than the more distant past. So, we must think all past actions to be those of a past life. This will make it easy to ignore them and to concentrate on laying the basis for future spiritual development.â
SRI SUKTAM ââ0 Agni, may You propitiate Mahalakshmi, the destroyer of demons but merciful to Her devotees, abode of auspiciousness, bestower of total protection, extraordinarily beautiful, bedecked with valuable ornaments, shining like a thousand suns; may that Hiranmayi, the golden coloured Goddess, be pleased with us.â

ST AUGUSTINE ââIt is authority which if opens the door, to those desiring to learn the great and hidden good. Leaving doubt behind, the one who enters the door will learn at length how possessed of reason those things are which he pursued before he saw their reason; and what reason itself is… Now in the cradle of authority, he learns what that intelligence is, in which are all things, rather, what He is who all things is and what beyond and above all things, is their prime cause.â

Ye are beholden to him for the element of air which He hath appointed for you; moreover, ye sow not, neither do ye reap, and God feedeth you and giveth you the rivers and the fountains for your drink; He giveth you the mountains and ^ the valleys for your; refuge, and the tall trees wherein to build your nests, and for as much as ye can neither spin nor sew God clotheth you, you and your children: wherefore your Creator loveth you much, since He hath dealt so bounteously with you; and therefore beware, little sisters mine, of the sin of ingratitude, but ever strive to praise God.â
ST FRANCIS OF ASSIST ââYou can only do what the hand of God allows you to do.â

In the visible world of the senses there is the sun, and in the invisible world of the intellect there is God, who is and is called the sun of truth. The physical world and everything in it are illumined and enlightened by the sun of truth in the intellect. Moreover, physical things are illumined by the physical sun, and . things of the intellect by the sun of the intellect separately from one another, for they are not mixed with or merged into one another â neither the physical with the intellectual nor the intellectual with the physical.â
