Feel less and less the so-called heavy responsibilities of life which you have imposed on yourself. The truth is, the moment you are free from attachment and sense of possession, the whole world is at your feet. Have no misgivings, throw overboard world's opinion. Rise above these petty things. Be tremendously earnest and determined in your spiritual quest.
- Swami Ramdas

We have to take the whole universe as the expression of the one Self. Then only our love flows to all beings and creatures in the world equally.
- Swami Ramdas

The surrendering of the weak and faulty will of the individual to God's will, for eliminating thereby the ego sense, is truly easier than the assertion of Divinity within you so that the individual will may be transformed into the Divine Will.
- Swami Ramdas

May your mind be ever filled with the remembrance of God and your tongue repeat the holy name of Ram.
- Swami Ramdas

By struggle you conquer. Struggle means development of will-power and a gradual awakening to the real purpose of life--which is Self-realization. Make every influence on your life, favourable or unfavourable, work for your spiritual advancement. Give up controversy, discussion and justification, by subduing sensitiveness and sentiment. God's name is your help.
- Swami Ramdas

When the flow of life becomes spontaneous, it is always surcharged with the glory of pure love and service. What a splendid gift is human life!
- Swami Ramdas

Weakness is felt only when God is forgotten. And the simple way to remember Him is to take His Name constantly.
- Swami Ramdas

Life, in every condition can be lived in freedom and joy, provided the soul within remains unattached to external forms of life.
- Swami Ramdas

You are all He. To realize this is the common aim of you all-- the one real end of this human existence. When God puts you in situations, in which you are forced to remember Him and to pray to Him earnestly to take you to His holy feet, is He not kind?
- Swami Ramdas

The whole universe is indeed a blissful manifestation of Sri Ram. Every form in it is a wave and movement of His infinite love. Diversity and discord are unreal-- off-springs of a mind deluded by ignorance.
- Swami Ramdas

Weakness is felt only when God is forgotten. And the simple way to remember Him is to take His Name constantly.
- Swami Ramdas

In all weathers cling to the name of the Lord. It is the one plank which does not allow the man who hangs onto it, to sink and be lost.
- Swami Ramdas

The mind must be purged of its selfish desires that make for diversity, pain and misery. It has to be freed from Raga and Dwesha. It must attain Samata, i.e., equality, which means Samadarshan which is again the same as Ramdarshan. Love all, love all. To love all is to love Him, for He is all. First see Him in Bhaktas and Mahatmas, then see Him in all--as all.
