MAXIMS OF SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE

Heaven sometimes speaks through the mouths of lunatics, drunkards and children.

The devil never enters the house wherein songs in praise of Hari are always sung.

Hallowed are they who live on the banks of the Ganges.

The Ganges-water is not to be regarded as water; nor the dust of Sri Brindavana as dust! nor the Mahaprasada of Sri Sri Jagannatha Deva as rice. These three are objective manifestations of the Supreme Being.

If it pleases the Lord, He can even pass an elephant through the eye of a needle. He can do whatever He likes.

His steps falter not, who has taken refuge in Him.

Hari means He who steals (Harati) our hearts; and Haribal means Hari is our strength.

Take refuge in God and forsake shame and fear. M If I were to dance in the name of God, what would people say ? —cast off all such ideas.

To someone the Master said: "Well, you have come to seek God now, after spending the greater part of your life in the world. Had you entered the world after realising God, what peace and joy you would have found I"

If you have faith, you will attain to that for which you long.

First, the realisation of God, and then His creation. Valmiki was given the Mantra Rama to meditate upon, but was instructed to begin repeating it reversely Mara Mara —that is, Ma, or Isvara, and Ra, or Jagat,—first God and then the universe.

It is absurd to speak of harm from excessive absorption in God. The rays of a diamond illumine and soothe but never burn.

Try to know the Nitya through the Lila.

Betake yourself to Chit (Pure Consciousness) to realise the'Sat (Pure Existence).

The Eternal is to be reached by means of the non-eternal, the Real through the help of the unreal, and the noumenon through the help of the phenomenon.

His name is Intelligence (Chinmaya): His abode is Intelligence; and He, the Lord, is All-Intelligence.
