Pujya Sri Swamiji, Sadguru Sookti Sangaraha on Tapas (Penance)

Whatever is done to help others with unselfish attitude, balanced mind
and dedicated spirit is real tapas (penance).  Such actions, whether in
the spiritual field or business and trade, or agriculture are all tapas.

Pujya Sri Swamiji in Austria - Dreams - (Aug 21, 1995)

So many people are asking: "Why is Swamiji not coming in my dreams?".
Because you are very sleepy and your 'room' is full of dirt. Your mind
is overcrowded. I want to enter into your dreams. But how shall I get
into that crowded place? Clean your 'room'. Clean your mind. Clean your
heart. Then I will enter your dreams. Then I will give experiences to
your mind. But you are full of doubts, of depressions, of expectations.
How can I enter?

Pujya Sri Swamiji, Sadguru Sookti Sangraha (Harmony-Inner and Outer)

If you are in harmony within yourself, the entire outside world will
also be in harmony. If you see conflicts outside, it is your inner
conflict, which on projection, sees conflicts outside.

Pujya Sri Swamiji, from God Word-I, Oct 76

"Undisturbed calmness of mind is attained by cultivating friendliness
towards happy; mercy and compassion towards the unhappy; delight
towards the virtuous and indifference towards the wicked."

Pujya Sri Swamiji, from God Word-I, Three Obligations (Aug 1984)

"Everyone, whatever his or her religion, faith and/or race maybe, is
striving, some knowingly and others unknowingly, to achieve absolute
happiness.  For this, he has to absolve himself of the three
obligations, which he carries with him from the time of  his birth. They
are:

  1. Obligation to the Rishis
  2. Obligation to the Gods
  3. Obligation to the forefathers"
