Essence Of Life

Man is higher than all animals, than all angels; none is greater than man.
One may gain political and social independence, but if one is a slave to his passions and desires,
one cannot feel the pure joy of real freedom.
Look at the wall. Did the wall ever tell a lie? It is always the wall. Man tells a lie and becomes a god, too.
After so much austerity, I have understood this as the real truth - God is present in every jiva; there is no other God besides that.
'Who serves jiva, serves God indeed.'Cut out the word help from your mind. You cannot help; it is blasphemy! You worship.
When you give a morsel of food to a dog, you worship the dog as God. He is all, and is in all.
Unselfishness is God. One may live on a throne, in a palace, and be perfectly unselfish; and then he is in God.
Another may live in a hut and wear rags, and have nothing in the world; yet if he is selfish, he is intensely merged in the world.
All nations have attained greatness by paying proper respect to women.
That country and that nation which do not respect women have never become great, nor will ever be in future.
With five hundred men, ... the conquest of India might take fifty years: with as many women, not more than a few weeks.
We want to lead mankind to the place where there is neither the Vedas, nor the Bible, nor the Koran;
yet this has to be done by harmonizing the Vedas, the Bible, and the Koran.
Everything can be sacrificed for truth, but truth cannot be sacrificed for anything.

All love is expansion, all selfishness is contraction. Love is therefore the only law of life. He who loves lives, he who is selfish is dying.
Therefore love for love's sake, because it is law of life, just as you breathe to live.

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on idea.
Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone.
This is the way to success

                         SEE GOD IN ALL

Sri Ramakrishna -- I have now come to a stage of realization in which I see that God is walking in every human form and manifesting Himself alike through the sage and the sinner, the virtuous and the vicious. Therefore when I meet different people I say to myself, "God in the form of the saint, God in the form of the sinner, God in the form of the righteous, God in the form of the unrighteous."

Holy Mother -- If you want peace of mind, do not find fault with others. Rather see your own faults. Learn to make the whole world your own. No one is a stranger, my child; the whole world is your own.

Swami Vivekananda -- This is the gist of all worship -- to be pure and to do good to others. He who sees Siva in the poor, in the weak, and in the diseased, really worships Siva, and if he sees Siva only in the image, his worship is but preliminary. He who has served and helped one poor man seeing Siva in him, without thinking of his cast, creed, or race, or anything, with him Siva is more pleased than with the man who sees Him only in temples.

Buddha -- Goodwill toward all beings is the true religion; cherish in your hearts boundless goodwill to all that lives.

Guru Nanak -- God is one, but He has innumerable forms. He is the Creator of all and He Himself takes the human form.

Jesus Christ -- But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you. That you may be the children of your Father which is in heaven; for he makes his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.

Judaism -- You shall not hate your brother in your heart, but you shall reason with your neighbor, lest you bear in sin because of him. You shall not take vengeance or bear any grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself.

Krishna -- He who sees the Supreme Lord abiding alike in all beings, and not perishing when they perish - verily, he alone sees.

Mohammed -- All God’s creatures are His family; and he is the most beloved of God who tries to do most good to God’s creatures.

Native American -- Every dawn as it comes is a holy event, and every day is holy, for the light comes from your Father, Wakan-Tanka; and also always remember that the two-leggeds and all other peoples who stand upon this earth are sacred and should be treated as such.

Rama -- It is the shadow of the Paramatman that you see reflected in all the living beings as the Jivatman. Don’t you see the great sky reflected in each and every lake or river?

Sankara -- Vishnu alone it is who dwells in you, in me, in everything; Empty of meaning is your wrath, and the impatience you reveal. Seeing yourself in everyone, have done with all diversity.

Vedas -- The wise man beholds all beings in the Self, and the Self in all beings; for that reason he does not hate anyone.

Zoroaster -- Forget self and identify Ahura Mazda in every being and in everything.
