One who seeks wealth, prays for money. One who desires fame and power, prays for attainment of the same. Only the one who truly wishes to attain eternal peace, seeks God for the sake of God alone.
~HH Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji
When science is silent, spirituality speaks.
~ HH Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji
Compromise anything for the world.
Compromise nothing for God.
~ HH Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji
In spiritual life, never go in for a second opinion. Good or bad, stick to one belief and develop unshakeable faith. Troubles befall you to test your faith. Win over it by your impregnable faith in God. He will never let you down.
~ HH Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji
Joy and sorrow are the only two known states of mind as far as man is concerned. Divinity is to get past this dual state and be in a constant state of bliss.
~ HH Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji
For those who have advanced well in spirituality, the mind will become the Guru and lead them.
~HH Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji
Man and animals are similar in many aspects. Feelings of hunger, sleep, sexual desire, joy and sorrow are common to both. But the animals do not possess man’s intellect. Animals cannot turn their vision inward and see God. If a man fails to use his intellect for the attainment of God, he is no different from an animal!
