It is easy to talk on religion, but difficult to practice it.

Travel in all the four quarters of the earth, yet you will find nothing anywhere. Whatever there is, is only here.
When the flower blooms, the bees come uninvited.
A man is truly free, even here in this embodied state, if he knows that God is the true agent and he by himself is powerless to do anything.
More are the names of God and infinite are the forms through which He may be approached. In whatever name and form you worship Him, through them you will realise Him.
God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer.
Work, apart from devotion or love of God, is helpless and cannot stand alone.
To work without attachment is to work without the expectation of reward or fear of any punishment in this world or the next. Work so done is a means to the end, and God is the end.
Pray to God that your attachment to such transitory things as wealth, name, and creature comforts may become less and less every day.
Bondage is of the mind; freedom too is of the mind. If you say ‘I am a free soul. I am a son of God who can bind me’ free you shall be.
