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.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Day 4, Navaratri, 2010

Whatever changes is unenduring and hence unreal. Only what is steady and
enduring is the Truth. You and your thoughts are also ever changing.
That is why you are also not Reality.

Pujya Sri Swamiji’s speech on Day 4 Navaratri in Mysore 2010

The Mother of the Universe has limitless compassion towards her
children. She is always ready to guide, to bless, and to protect. She
takes so many incarnations to protect the beings in the entire creation.

H.H Sri Ganapati Sachchidananda Swamiji on Sri Krishna Janmashtami 2010

Butter comes from churning. When by mental churning, doubts are removed,
butter of True Knowledge emerges. Whatever we listen to, we should
ponder over it and engage in mental churning.

power of chanting God’s name

The power of chanting God’s names cannot be underestimated. It is very
effective even if you chant just one name. If there are a thousand crows
on a tree, it is enough if you throw just one stone at them. They will
all fly away. There is no need to throw a stone for each of them. The
thousand crows or even a million crows are the sins that we have
committed because of our greed, lust, anger, and so on. We are
completely contaminated by our sins and our weaknesses. Just by
chanting, ‘Hari’, or ‘Vithala’, or ‘Rama’, or ‘Guru
Datta’ with devotion, all these crows will fly away along with their
children.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Navaratri - Day -5 Parashakti (12/Oct/2010)

Every atom is filled with energy. There is nothing in this world that is
not filled with energy. Water, Sky, Fire etc. are five elements also
have an energy embedded in them. They are Jada (non-living). Even then
there is an energy that drives them. During the time of Pralaya
(absolution of the Universe) all these may disappear but the Energy
remains. This clearly shows that there is a competent energy beyond the
five elements that drives the five elements too. That energy is called
Parashakti.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Mysore, 12-Oct-2010

The Gods are always waiting to say, ‘so be it’. We have to be very
careful about what we speak. We should not get into the bad habit of
saying bad things or using bad words. ‘Think before you talk’. Do
not be a chatterbox.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse,Mysore, 15-Oct-2010

The Guru is the doctor. He knows everything. He knows what treatment to
give. This is not blind belief. You follow with affection, faith and
patience, lifelong, till this body is replaced by another body.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Mysore, 16-Oct-2010

Trishati alone is enough for doing Vedanta sadhana. These names will now
be propagated

Sri Swamiji's speeach at a devotee's house

We need to do puja to develop concentration. You should remember that.
Yes. God is everywhere. He is in all forms. He is also formless. In
order to realize the formless God, it is essential that we begin by
worshiping God with a form and attributes.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, 700 sayings of Sachchidananda

backbone. Why rely on one and another? You are the bringer of prosperity
to the world. Says your Lord, Sachchidananda,Lord of true eternal bliss.

Pujya Sri Swamiji's Discourse, Hyderabad, 05-Nov-2010

Practice devotion to Guru while you are young. Do not wait to begin it
in old age. If you practice it from now, then you will be comfortable in
your old age.

Let all demonic qualities which arise from Tamas go away. Let us all
travel to the city of Sattva Guna and Truth. To really understand Truth,
we need to look inwards.
