 "Mahatma
Gandhi’s life is a monument to the triumph of spirit over flesh, a
living witness to the victory of the divine over the base nature of
man. A continuous exercise of self-restraint and discipline, along
with deep prayer and an invincible faith in the Divine, enabled him
to successfully resist all kinds of temptations, overcome all
obstacles and gain full mastery over himself.""Mahatmaji demonstrated how a life of complete detachment and renunciation may be led while remaining in the thick of battle. His was a supreme example of one who had completely annihilated the ego, the little "I", and led a divine life in the world. His life was like that of a lotus leaf in water.".......Swami Sivananda << More>>
 "The
central purpose of existence is to recognise your eternal identity
with the supreme Spirit. It is to grow into the image of the Divine.
The supreme One embodies the highest perfection. It is spotless
purity. To recognise your identity with That, to attain union with
That, is verily to grow into the very likeness of the Divine. The
aspirant, therefore, as his initial step, has to get rid of all the
countless impurities, and the demoniacal elements that have come to
cling to him in his embodied state. Then he has to acquire lofty
virtues and auspicious, divine qualities. Thus purified, knowledge
flashes upon him like the brilliant rays of the sun upon the crystal
waters of a perfectly calm lake.""This process demands a resolute will, determined effort and arduous struggle. In other words, strength and infinite power are the prime necessity. Thus it is the Divine Mother who has to operate through the aspirant. Let us now consider how?" ........Swami Sivananda << More >>

 The
Peace Within"The peace of the Supreme Being is within every human individual. This peace that passeth understanding, this peace that is supreme, higher than which there is nothing, which is profound peace, perennial peace, is the truth about your inner Self. It is the one real thing within amidst a thousand miscellaneous thoughts being allowed to flit and fill the mind, being allowed to agitate and disperse the mind"...... "You are that peace if you establish your identity with that peace instead of with the numerous other fancies and thoughts that come into your mind. Be as you are. And this peace overcomes time. For this peace there is no past, there is no present, there is no future. It is always. It is here, now, and it is for all times. It is beyond time—this peace which is your truth.".........Swami Chidananda <<More>>
