Pujya Sri Swamiji, from Heart to Heart, on Truth (Oct 5, 1984)

"One may consider oneself a great scholar by studying the scriptures.
One may also be termed as charitable due to the charities one does. All
this will be in vain, if one does not speak the truth, think truthfully
and act truthfully."

Pujya Sri Swamiji, from Heart to Heart, July 2, 1981(Trinidad)

"The foot (Paada) of the Guru is not an ordinary foot. "GuruPadangre
padodakam Ganga". All Holy Waters, including Mother Ganga live in the
Guru's feet. This is what you should think in your heart when
  worshiping the Guru.  All Holy Waters, all devatas or angels and all
sacred Hills abide in Guru's feet."

Pujya Sri Swamiji, from Sadguru Sookti Sangraha (Dwandwas-opposites)

"People, by large, have a tendency to divide things, events and
experiences of life into two categories, namely good and bad, favorable
and unfavorable.... and then make a choice between them.  A seeker /
devotee should remember that all events and all experiences are caused
by the Supreme Power.  He should accept everything as God-sent."

Pujya Sri Swamiji, from God Word - I ( Feb 1992)

"Remember God and worship Him when you are happy.  Forget yourself when
you are in sorrows.  Peace comes to you of its own accord.  Energy and
enthusiasm (to act), and courage of the mind to move forward, can be
acquired from serenity."

Pujya Sri Swamiji, from Sadguru Sookti Sangraha

"Music is connected with the beginning of the creation, with its
continuity and with its end.  All forms of Nature, rather, the whole of
Nature, pulsates in Music."

Pujya Sri Swamiji, from God word - I (DEBTS, March 1991)

"Learning and teaching are like the two wings of a bird.  If one wing is
lost, the bird will no doubt live, but cannot fly.  If both the wings
are lost the bird is as good as its dead.  Hence the injunction  - STUDY
AND TEACH."

Pujya Sri Swamiji-Jnaana Saagar-I

The Sun, Moon and the five elements of nature - Earth, Water, Fire, and
Sky aslo one's inner conscience are witnesses of whatever one thinks,
speaks or does.  None can hide anything from them.  These are the
various aspects of God-the Omniscient.  He is the Supreme Conscience
i.e., "SUDDHA CHAITANYA"

Pujya Sri Swamiji - Jnaana Saagar-I

It is good to keep ourselves and our dress clean.  They contribute to
pure thoughts.  However, only intentions motivate us to utter good words
and do good.  One must have a steady mind to meditate well.  Fickle
minds cannot tread the path o perfection.  Let us be contended, let us
be greatful to god for our present position.  Let us pray to Him
peacefully to guide us to liberation.

Pujya Sri Swamiji - Jnaana Saagar - I (on Food)

"Aahaara suddhou sattva suddhi"

Pure food purifies the mind.  If the food we eat is pure, our mind
becomes pure.  Then good thoughts will flow.  Association with the pure
people, pure thoughts or things purify one's mind.
