When a man offers himself entirely to God in all activities of his life, he attains true freedom and pure joy. Life then becomes a beautiful flower ever spreading its fragrance all round.
- Swami Ramdas

Let us look at the vast and changing play of the universe with our firm hold on the immortal, and remain unaffected by it. This is liberation.
- 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

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

The man who does not behold the finger of God working in all events and happenings experiences needless suffering.  Therefore, peace and contentment belong only to those who have submitted, in all the vicissitudes of life, to the supreme will of God.
- Swami Ramdas

If you feel conscious that divine grace or Guru’s grace is with you, that instant your mind will become perfectly pure and luminous.  This requires faith and nothing but faith.
- Swami Ramdas

Grace is not a thing to come to you.  It is ever showering on you.  You have only to be conscious of it.  May God grant you this faith and this consciousness.
- Swami Ramdas

Life is a perpetual adjustment and readjustment - it is an ever-changing movement on the surface - but in its depths it is perfect calmness, peace and stillness.  Since universal motion is a wave from the infinite silence and repose, it has the nature of the source from which it has sprung.  So, bliss is the beginning, the middle and the end of all things - be it static or dynamic.
- Swami Ramdas

The object of your life is to be happy yourself and give happiness to others.  In fact, real delight consists in so adjusting your life as to make it yield joy to others.  If you have faith in God, use this faith in cultivating patience and equanimity.  Faith always goes with cheerfulness, resignation and peace.  Be childlike--not childish--be blissful and a free child of God.  Reveal your innate divine nature, and diffuse around you always love and joy.
- Swami Ramdas

Let your service be done in a spirit of spontaneous love, which is by itself a great balm and a source of unlimited joy and peace.
- Swami Ramdas

Be conscious always that the God that you pray to is within you and everywhere about you.  His protection and grace are there ever for you. Be always aware that He is guiding you from within.
- Swami Ramdas

To be conscious always that our individual life is only a thing of play, while in reality we are the ever-free, all-blissful and omnipresent Spirit or Truth, is to be free from egoism.
- Swami Ramdas

The individual "I" is utterly unreal. He and His power are the truth. His power is infinite love and infinite joy. Just as the Sun's power lies in the heat and light he gives, so God's power expresses in love and joy. God and His power are at once one and different, like the milk and its whiteness.
- Swami Ramdas
