WHEN WE ALIGN ourselves to a higher will, we open ourselves to grace, to a vast source of light that can illuminate and energize our lives. SWAMI RAMANANDA

I WASN’T FAST AND I DIDN’T HAVE A GREAT ARM, YET I COMPENSATED BY QUICKLY GETTING MY FEET IN POSITION TO THROW AND GETTING RID OF THE BALL. QUICKER THAN ANYONE ELSE.
I always had great hand-eye coordination AND WAS BLESSED WITH THE INSTINCT TO BE WHERE the baseball was hit.

WHAT IS SAI BABA’S GOOD NIGHT PRAYER?
“OH LORD, the tasks of the day whose burden I placed on you this morning are over. It was you who made me walk, Talk, Think and act. I therefore place at thy feet all my words, thoughts and deeds. My task is done, receive me.”
LIFE IS A SONG — sing it. Life is a game — play it. Life is a challenge — meet it. Life is a dream — realize it. Life is a sacrifice — offer it. Life is love — enjoy it.
ALL ACTIONS COME FROM THOUGHT, SO IT IS THOUGHTS THAT MATTER.
MY EYE IS EVER ON THOSE WHO LOVE ME.
LOVE ONE ANOTHER and help others to rise to the higher levels, simply by pouring out love. Love is infectious and the greatest healing energy.
YOU MUST PASS YOUR DAYS IN SONG. Let your whole life be a song.
MAN LEARNS THROUGH EXPERIENCE, and the spiritual path is full of different kinds of experiences. He will encounter many difficulties and obstacles, and they are the very experiences he needs to encourage and complete the cleansing process.
HANDS that serve are holier than lips that pray.
IT IS ONLY IN THE DEPTHS OF SILENCE THAT THE VOICE OF GOD CAN BE HEARD.
WHAT MATTERS is to live in the present, live now, for every moment is now. It is your thoughts and acts of the moment that create your future. The outline of your future path already exists, for you created its pattern by your past.
UNLESS knowledge is transformed into wisdom, and wisdom is experience in character; education is a wasteful process.
DO NOT BE MISLED by what you see around you, or be influenced by what you see. you live in a world which is a playground of illusion, full of false paths, false values and false ideals. But you are not part of that world.
LET ANY ONE speak hundred of things against you, do not resent by giving a bitter reply. If you tolerate such things, you will certainly be happy.
YOU SEEK TOO MUCH INFORMATION AND NOT ENOUGH TRANSFORMATION.
HUMILITY, reverence, compassion, forbearance, sacrifice and self-control are the qualities that rival the outcome of the true education.
LEARNING to earn a living is only half the job. the other half is to make life worthwhile and meaningful.
NO JOY CAN EQUAL THE JOY OF SERVING OTHERS.
LET LOVE FLOW so that it cleanses the world. then man can live in peace, instead of the state of turmoil he has created through his past ways of life, with all those material interests and earthly ambitions.
PURE LOVE IS THE CHIEF MANIFESTATION OF EDUCATION.
TO EVERY ONE OF US there must come a time when the whole universe will be found to have been a dream, when we find the soul is infinitely better than its surroundings. It is only a question of time, and time is nothing in the infinite.
