Purity

  1. ALL powers and ALL purity and ALL greatness----------------- EVERY THING IS IN THE SOUL.

  2. TALK NOT ABOUT IMPURITY, BUT SAY THAT WE ARE PURE.

  3. Hold fast to the real Self, think only pure thoughts,…………………..

  4. He who chooses perfection becomes pure.

  5. All truth in the universe will manifest in your heart, if you are sufficiently pure.

  6. You are the Pure One; awake and arise, O mighty one, this sleep does not become you.

  7. Ay, forget first the love for gold, and name and fame, for this trumpery world of ours. Then, only then, you will understand the love of……………… (God), too holy to be attained without giving up everything, too sacred to be understood until the soul has become perfectly pure. People with ideas of sex, and of money, and of fame, bubbling up every minute in the heart, daring to criticise.

  8. Can you not see the tide of death and materialism that is rolling over these Western lands? Can you not see the power of lust and unholiness, that is eating into the very vitals of society? Believe me, you will not arrest these things by talk, or by movements of agitation for reform; but by renunciation, by standing up, in the midst of decay and death, as mountains of righteousness. Talk not, but let the power of purity, the power of chastity, the power of renunciation, emanate from every pore of your body. Let it strike those who are struggling day and night for gold, that even in the midst of such a state of things, there can be one to whom wealth counts for nothing. Put away lust and wealth. Sacrifice yourselves.

  9. Hold yourself in readiness, i.e., be pure and holy, and love for love’s sake.

  10. Everything will come right if you are pure and sincere.

  11. Remain pure always.

  12. Whatever others think or do, lower not your standard of purity, morality and love.

  13. Be pure and be good; be pure and love everyone.

  14. Purify yourself, and the world is bound to be purified.

  15. Let us perfect the means; the end will take care of itself. For the world can be good and pure, only if our lives are good and pure. Therefore, let us purify ourselves. Let us make ourselves perfect.

  16. Darkness is less light; evil is less good; impurity is less purity.

  17. Be pure, staunch, and sincere to the very backbone, and everything will be all right.

  18. The soul is by its nature pure and perfect, infinite in power and blessed.

  19. So long as you are pure, and true to your principles, you will never fail, and blessings will be yours.

  20. Please be careful not to become impure even in thought, as also in speech and action; always try to do good to others as far as in you lies.

  21. Goodness is our nature, perfection is our nature, not imperfection, not impurity.

  22. What power is higher than the power of purity?

  23. Only let me be perfectly pure, perfectly sincere, and perfectly unselfish.

  24. Keep yourself holy and pure.

  25. A pure heart sees beyond the intellect.

  26. Hold fast to the real self, think only pure thoughts, and you will accomplish more than a regiment of mere preachers. Out of purity and silence comes the word of power.

  27. Make yourselves decent men!...................Be chaste and pure!.................There is no other way.

  28. The purer the body and mind, the quicker the desired result will be obtained.

  29. Truth, purity and unselfishness---------------wherever these are present, there is no power, below or above the sun to crush the possessor thereof. Equipped with these, one individual is able to face the whole universe in opposition.

  30. The man who is pure and who dares, does all things.

  31. Say, day and night, “Come up, my brothers; you are the infinite ocean of purity! Be God! Manifest as God!”

  33. Purity, patience, and perseverance overcome all obstacles.

  34. Power will come, glory will come, goodness will come, purity will come, and everything that is excellent will come when this sleeping soul is roused to self-conscious activity.

  35. Be pure first, and you will have power.

  36. Neither numbers nor powers nor wealth nor learning nor eloquence nor anything else will prevail, but purity, living the life, in one word, ANUBHUTI, Realisation.

  37. All men are pure; all men are good.

  38. No body is ugly, no body is impure.

  39. We have wept long enough; no more weeping, but stand on your feet and be men. It is a man-making religion that we want. It is man-making theories that we want. It is man-making education all around that we want. And here is the test of truth-anything that makes you weak physically, intellectually and spiritually, reject as poison; there is no life in it, it cannot be true. Truth is strengthening. Truth is purity, Truth is all knowledge. Truth must be strengthening, must be enlightening, must be invigorating.

  40. The more we come out and do good to others, the more our hearts will be purified, and God will be in them.

  41. Bless people when they revile you. Think how much good they are doing by helping to stamp out the false ego. Hold fast to the Atman, think only pure thoughts, and you will accomplish more than a regiment of mere preachers.

  42. Impurity is a mere superimposition under which your real nature has become hidden. But the real you is already perfect, already strong.

  43. Oh, to live even for a day in the full light of freedom, to breathe the free air of simplicity! Isn’t that the highest purity?

  44. Tremendous purity, tremendous renunciation, is the one secret of spirituality. "Neither through wealth, nor through progeny, but through renunciation alone is immortality to be reached," say the Vedas. "Sell all that thou hast and give to poor, and follow me," says the Christ. So all great saints and prophets have expressed it, and have carried it out in their lives. How can great spirituality come without renunciation?

  45. Give me few men and women who are pure and selfless and I shall shake the world.

  46. The more we come out and do good to others, the more our hearts will be purified, and God will be in them.

  47. The more we come out and do good to others, the more our hearts will be purified, and God will be in them.

  48. Purity in thought, speech, and act is absolutely necessary for anyone to be religious. Purity is strength. Spiritual truth is purity.

  49. Purity, patience, and perseverance are the three essentials to success. And, above all, love.

  50. The miseries of the world cannot be cured by physical help only. Until man’s nature changes, these physical needs will always arise, and miseries will always be felt, and no amount of physical help will cure them completely. The only solution of this problem is to make mankind pure. Ignorance is the mother of all the evil and all the misery we see. Let men have light, let them be pure and spiritually strong and educated, then alone will misery cease in the world, not before.

  51. If you are pure, if you are strong, you, one man, are equal to the whole world.

  52. The purer the mind, the easier it is to control.

  53. Strength is in goodness, in purity.

  54. Goodness is our nature, purity is our nature, and that nature can never be destroyed.

  55. Perfect purity is the most essential thing, for only “the pure in heart shall see God.”

  56. You must be pure and help any one who comes to you, as much as lies in your power.

  57. Be pure and be good; be pure and love everyone.

  58. Remove the veils of ignorance by purity, then we manifest ourselves as we really are and know that we were never in bondage.

  59. In purity is no bondage.

  60. Buddha set his greatest enemy free because he, by hating him (Buddha) so much, kept constantly thinking of him; that thought purified his mind and he became ready for freedom. Therefore think of God all the time and that will purify you.

  61. Purity in every way is absolutely necessary.

  62. Internal purity is of greater value than external.

  63. If you think yourself pure, pure you will be.

Discipleship And Obedience

Discipleship

1. Let him who has courage in his mind and love in his heart come with me.

2. Guru-Bhakti is the foundation of all spiritual development.

3. Give me a genuine man; I do not want masses of converts.

4. Once you have pledged your faith to a particular teacher, stick to him with all force.

5. Nothing can be done without a Guru.

6. One’s destiny is in one’s own hands----------------the Guru only makes this much understood.

7. Mind you, the Guru-Bhakta will conquer the world------------this is the one evidence of history.

8. Know it for certain that without steady devotion for the Guru, and unflinching patience and perseverance, nothing is to be achieved.

9. The Guru has to bear the disciple’s burden of sin.

10. The power that can transform life in a moment can be found only in the living illuminated souls, those shinning lights who appear among us from time to time.

11. Find the teacher, serve him as a child, open your heart to his influence, see in him God manifested.

12. One touch, one glance, can change a whole life.

13. Without an unbroken chain of discipleship-------------------Guruparampara---------------------nothing can be done.

14. A mere talker cannot be the Guru.

15. The Guru is the conveyance in which the spiritual influence is brought to you.

16. Nothing, I say, can be done without the chain of discipleship, that is, the power that is transmitted from the Guru to the disciple, and from him to his disciple, and so on.

17. The Guru is the means of realisation.

18. The first thing needed is obedience.

19. The disciple must have great power of endurance. Bear all evil and misery without one thought of unhappiness, resistance, remedy, or retaliation. That is true endurance, and that you must acquire.

20. Such is the Guru--------------------“Who has himself crossed the terrible ocean of life; and without any idea of gain to himself, helps others also to cross the ocean.” This is the Guru, and mark that none else can be a Guru.

Obedience

1. The first requisite for organisation is obedience.

2. Even if the order be wrong, first obey and then contradict it.

3. Great enterprise, boundless courage, tremendous energy, and above all, perfect obedience-----------these are the only traits that lead to individual and national regeneration.

4. Learn obedience first.

5. You must be as free as the air, and as obedient as the plant and the dog.

6. He who knows how to obey, knows how to command. Learn obedience first. Everyone can play the role of a master, but it is very difficult to be a servant.

Personal Contact

1. A mass of reading does not make men; those who were real men were made so by personal contact.

2. The Highest way & the only way to………...

It is the life that is the highest and the only way to stir the hearts of people; it carries the personal magnetism.

Take Care

1.     If you have to think, think good thought, great thoughts.

2.     Throw away everything, and go and help others.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Giving

1.     Give as the rose gives perfume, because it is its own nature, utterly unconsciousness of giving.

2.     Ask, therefore, nothing in return; but the more you give, the more will come to you.

3.     When you give life, you will have life.

4.     Do not criticize others, for all doctrines and all dogmas are good; but show them by your lives that religion is no matter of books and beliefs, but of spiritual realization.

*    Only those who have seen it will understand this; but such spirituality can be given to others, even though they be unconscious of the gift.

*    Only those who have attained to this power are amongst the great teachers of mankind. They are the powers of light.

5.     There is no higher virtue than charity. The lowest man is he whose hand draws in receiving; and he is the highest man whose hand goes out in giving. The hand was made to give always. Give the last bit of bread you have, even if you are starving. You will be perfect, you will become God.

6.     If you have, then give.

7.     Yet have the power to give: give, and there it ends. Learn that the whole life is giving, that nature will force you to give. So, give willingly.

8.     Ask nothing; want nothing in return. Give what you have to give; it will come back to you----------------but do not think of that now. It will come back multiplied----------------a thousand fold. But the attention must not be on that. You have the power to give and there it ends.

9.     In the world take always the position of the giver. Give everything and look for no return. Give love, give help, give service, give any little thing you can, but keep out barter. Make no conditions and none will be imposed. Let us give out of our own bounty, just as God gives to us.

10.  Give to the weak, for there all the gift is needed.

11.  In the presence of my Master I found out that man could be perfect, even in this body.  Those lips never cursed anyone, those eyes never criticized anyone.  Those eyes were beyond the possibility of seeing evil, that mind had lost the power of thinking evil.  He saw nothing but good.  That tremendous purity, that tremendous renunciation is the one secret of spirituality.  "Neither through wealth, nor through progeny, but through renunciation alone, is immortality to be reached," say the Vedas.  "Sell all that thou hast and give to the poor, and follow Me," says the Christ.  So all great saints and prophets have expressed it, and have carried it out in their lives.  How can great spirituality come without that renunciation?  Renunciation is the background of all religious thought wherever it be, and you will always find that as this idea of renunciation lessens, the more will the senses creep into the field of religion, and spirituality will decrease in the same ratio.

12.  We get caught. How? Not by what we give but by what we expect. We get misery in return for our love; not from the fact that we love, but from the fact that we want love in return. There is no misery where there is no want.

13.  The first of everything should go to the poor; we have only a right to what remains.

14.                         Giving alone is the one work in this Kali Yuga; of all the gifts, giving spiritual life is the highest gifts possible.

15.  Give as the rose gives perfume, because it is its own nature, utterly unconscious of giving.

16.  The gift of knowledge is the highest gift in the world.

17.  Instead of begging, the religious man should give.

Greatness

1.     Both attachment and detachment perfectly developed make a man great and happy.

2.     Achieve happiness or achieve greatness.

3.     Feel that you are great and you become great.

4.     Faith, faith, faith in ourselves, faith in God - this is the secret of greatness.

5.     Throughout the history of mankind, if any motive power has been more potent than another in the lives of all great men and women, it is that of faith in themselves. Born with the consciousness that they were to be great, they became great.

Holiness

1.     Holiness is the highest and divinest power in earth and in heaven.

2.     Keep yourself holy, and pure.

3.     Light is everywhere visible only in the men of holiness.

4.     Light is everywhere visible only in the men of holiness.

5.     Perish in the struggle to be holy; a thousand times welcome death.

6.     Go on thinking holy thoughts continuously, that is the only way to suppress base impressions.

7.     Hold yourself in readiness, i.e., be pure and holy, and love for love’s sake.

8.     Keep yourself holy and pure.

9.     Work hard. Be holy and pure and the fire will come.

10.  It is our own mental attitude which makes the world what it is for us. Our thought make things beautiful, our thoughts make things ugly. The whole world is in our own minds. Learn to see things in the proper light. First, believe in this world --------------- that there is meaning behind everything. Everything in the world is good, is holy and beautiful. If you see something evil, think that you are not understanding it in the right light. Throw the burden on yourselves!

11.  Poverty is not a synonym for holiness.

12.                         Holiness is the highest and divinest power in earth and in heaven.
