స్వామి శివానంద సూక్తి

Drive away from your mind all unnecessary, useless and obnoxious thoughts. Useless thoughts impede your spiritual growth; obnoxious thoughts are stumbling blocks to spiritual advancement.

You are away from God when you entertain useless thoughts. Substitute thoughts of God. Entertain only thoughts that are helpful and useful. Useful thoughts are the stepping-stones to spiritual growth and progress.

- Swami Sivananda

సంతృప్తి- స్వామి సచ్చిదానంద బోధ

Contentment

If you don’t have peace, nothing is going to make you happy. If you have peace, even without having anything else, you will be happy. That’s what you call contentment.

- Swami Satchidananda

స్వామి రామ తీర్థ సూక్తి

Do not allow yourself to suppress your thoughts. Instead, let the thoughts come before you and become a sort of observer. Start observing your own mind. Do not try to escape; do not be afraid of thinking.

- Swami Rama Tirtha

స్వామి విష్ణుదేవానంద సూక్తి

Far beyond your intellect, far beyond you understanding, lies inexhaustible knowledge and wealth, strength and power, peace and joy. Do not use your Intellect to find answers for God and his manifestations. Everything is God.

- Swami Vishnudevananda Saraswati

స్వామి కృష్ణానంద సూక్తి

To get a Guru is as difficult as getting God. And once you get a proper teacher, then you are on the path. This is a great achievement, and again this is the work of God.

- Swami Krishnananda

కంచి పరమాచార్య సూక్తి

Our affection for our wife, children and others is in fact affection for ourselves. According to the Upanisadic teaching of Yajnavalkaya, it is for our own inner contentment that we love others. We perform puja to the Lord purportedly because of our devotion for him and we do social service presumably because of our love of mankind. But in truth the reason is we like ourselves and find happiness in such acts. For the sake of such happiness we do not mind encountering difficulties or making sacrifices.

- Kanchi Paramacharya Swami

సద్గురు శివానంద మూర్తి గారి సూక్తి

Establish a relationship with God everyday. Keep chanting a prayer all the time. There is nothing like a prayer time at all. Prayer time is an exclusive time for concentrating dhyana or pooja or offering something to God. Otherwise, the chanting must go on. It will go on during the sleeping time without your knowledge.
