Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourses, God Word II

From a shaking mirror, enveloped in smoke and kept at distance, no
proper reflection can be obtained. Similarly, a mind, which lacks
concentration, which is filled with ego and allured by temptations of
the worldly objects, can not reflect the Lord.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourses, God Word II

Human birth is essentially meant for singing the name of the Lord. Once
you realize this truth, the sacred name of the Lord opens the door to
the province of Bhakti.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, God Word - 1 (Ref : Jul 93)

The entire universe and the Trinity (Brahma, Vishnu and Siva) are the
forms of Guru alone. There is nothing beyond Guru. So, the Guru should
be worshiped well.

Pujya Sri Swamiji - God Word - 1

Whatever is touched by the "Guru" becomes at once holy and sacred.
"Guru" is the object for meditation. All mantras originate from him. He
is the one to be worshipped. He alone is the bestower of liberation
(Moksha).

Pujya Sri Swamiji's during His first visit to America in 1976

A person once asked Sri Swamiji "Are you enlightened? Has your cycle
finished?"
Sri Swamiji replied, "When your cycle is finished, then my cycle is
completed! I am always following behind you."

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse at a devotee's house

To reach Advaita, the non-dual state, we have to first practice Dwaita,
duality. Through the constant worship of God as being separate from
oneself, gradually the sense of duality will vanish and the non-dual
state will be attained. But this gradual process is very essential. It
is inevitable.
