You are walking on the earth as in a dream; Our world is a dream within a dream.
Brotherhood is an ideal better understood by example than precept!
Autobiography of a Yogi (1946)
All that you need to do is improve your knowing.
In waking, eating, working, dreaming, sleeping,
Serving, meditating, chanting, divinely loving,
My soul constantly hums, unheard by any:
God, God, God!
Autobiography of a Yogi (1946)
Love is the song of the soul, singing to God.
Songs of the Soul (1923)
Kriya Yoga, the scientific technique of God-realization, will ultimately spread in all lands, and aid in harmonizing the nations through man's personal, transcendental perception of the Infinite Father.
Autobiography of a Yogi (1946)
A genuine smile distributes the cosmic current, Prana to every body cell.The happy man is less subject to disease, for happiness actually attracts into the body a greater supply of the Universal life energy.
The Body melts into the universe
The universe melts into the soundless voice
The sound melts into the all-shining light
And the light enters the bosom of infinite joy.
Metaphysical Meditations (1952)
Thou art I, I am Thou,
Knowing, Knower, Known, as One!
Songs of the Soul (1923)
I remained alone with the yogi until his disciples arrived in the evening. Bhaduri Mahasaya entered one of his inimitable discourses. Like a peaceful flood, he swept away the mental debris of his listeners, floating them Godward.
Autobiography of a Yogi (1946)
Away, the partial love
That ‘boldens Nature to sit above
Her Maker!
Songs of the Soul (1923)
To gaze with looks of wonderment,
And to serve all that lives, still or moving.
This is to know what love is.
He knows who lives it.
Songs of the Soul (1923)
It is the call of the beauty — robed ones
To worship the great Beauty.
It is the call of God
Through silent intelligences
And starburst of feelings.
Songs of the Soul (1923)
Nor doomsday’s thunderous roar,
Dismantling earth and stars —
The cosmic beauties all to mar —
Not Nature’s murderous mutiny,
Nor man’s exploding destiny
Can touch me here.
Songs of the Soul (1923)
Gandhi has sound economic and cultural reasons for encouraging the revival of cottage industries, but he does not counsel a fanatical repudiation of all modern progress. Machinery, trains, automobiles, the telegraph have played important parts in his own colossal life! Fifty years of public service, in prison and out, wrestling daily with practical details and harsh realities in the political world, have only increased his balance, open-mindedness, sanity, and humorous appreciation of the quaint human spectacle.
Autobiography of a Yogi (1946)
Not an unconscious state
Or mental chloroform without wilful return,
Samadhi but extends my realm of consciousness
Beyond the limits of my mortal frame
To the boundaries of eternity,
Where I, the Cosmic Sea,
Watch the little ego floating in Me.
Songs of the Soul (1923)
