Swami Ramdas Quotations

Just as a flower gives out its fragrance to whomsoever approaches our uses it, so love from within us radiates towards everybody and manifests as spontaneous service.

Place yourself as an instrument in the hands of God, who does his own work in his own way.

We have to take the whole universe as the expression of the one Self. Then only our love flows to all beings and creatures in the world equally.

Be patient. The path of self-discipline that leads to God-realization is not an easy path: obstacles and sufferings are on the path; the latter you must bear, and the former overcome -- all by His help. His help comes only through concentration. Repetition of God's name helps concentration.

People do not know what the Name of God can do. Those who repeat it constantly alone know its power. It can purify our mind completely... The Name can take us to the summit of spiritual experience.

All spiritual disciplined are done with a view to still the mind. The perfectly still mind is universal spirit.
