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 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, Jnaana Saagar - I, True Devotion:

Devotion is the highest and the greatest of allfor that matter greater
than Meru, the North pole at the top of the earth.  The renowned path of
devotion is also easy to follow  In the ancient times, some of the great
devotees reached heaven even with their mortal bodies.

Pujya Sri Swamiji, Sadguru Sookti Sangraha on Sharanaagati (path of surrender):

Among the four paths for self-perfection (viz. jnana, bhakti, karma and
prapatti) for release from the worldly bondage shown by Geetacharya (Sri
Krishna), prapatti or Sharanaagati i.e, path of surrender is most suited
for the present-day man.

Pujya Sri Swamiji, Bhakti Mala, Feb 2010

He who has intense devotion for the Almighty, will have no enemies, no
fear, no sorrow.  The Almighty has taken a vow to punish those who
oppose such true devotees - so say the scriptures and the learned.

Pujya Sri Swamiji, October 11th, 1997, Saturday, Mysore, India

"The upsurge of the feeling, 'I and mine', lessen righteousness from the
mind, allowing allurement and attachment to overpower one's thinking.
This is the power of illusion."

Pujya Sri Swamiji, October 11th 97, Saturday, Mysore, India

"Even the thought 'I want this', arising in one's mind on seeing
something is equivalent to enjoyment of the same. This is the fine
subtle aspect of Dharma."

Pujya Sri Swamiji, Bhakti Mala, Jan 2010

If one's mind is clean and upright, everything outside will also appear
to be clean and upright.  If one's mind is polluted and agitated, the
entire outside world would appear to him as disgusting and frustrating.

Pujya Sri Swamiji, Bhakti Mala, Jan 2010

A very common tendency in man is to find faults with others and the
outside environment he relates to.  Such a tendency of finding fault is
of no avail.  In fact, it disturbs the peace of mind and prevents a
person from being in harmony with himself."

Pujya Sri Swamiji, October 11th 97, Saturday, Mysore, India

"Vedas, Vedangas, Yagas, Penance, modes of worship -- all these are
meant to enable us to get over the illusion.  Inspite of all these noble
practices only deep devotion can make us defeat Maya (illusion).  If the
path of devotion is left out, one cannot get liberation from the
clutches of enchantment, inspite of scholarship or prolonged penance.
It is likely that such people are engulfed more and more in the lure of
Maya."

Pujya Sri Swamiji, Bhakti Mala, Jan 2010

"In the spiritual path, a devotee needs to cultivate the habit of
keeping his mind clean.  Only then divine life is possible.  Let us stop
finding fault in others, and instead, let us try to correct and improve
ourselves."
