Verily, nothing else in this world is as sanctifying as wisdom. In due course of time, the devotee who is successful in Yoga will spontaneously realize this within his self.
Man is created by his belief. As he believes, so he becomes.
He who is everywhere non attached, neither joyously excited by encountering good nor disturbed by evil, has an established wisdom.
Anger creates confusion. Illusion disturbs the intellect. When the intellect is disturbed, then logic is destroyed. When logic is destroyed, then the person falls.
Weapons cannot cut the soul, nor can fire burn it, water cannot wet it and wind cannot dry it.
That Yogi who is gladly absorbed in truth and self realization is said to be indissolubly united to spirit. Unchangeable, conqueror of senses, he looks with an equal eye at earth, stone and gold.
Those who seek deliverance from decay and death by clinging to Me know Brahman (the absolute), the all-inclusiveness of Adhyatma (the soul as repository of Spirit), and all secrets of Karma.
By diligently following his path, the Yogi, perfected by the path, perfected by the efforts of many births is purged of sin (Karmic taint) and finally enters the supreme beatitude.
Happiness is neither in this world nor anywhere else for a person who is always doubting.
Those who understand
see themselves in all,
and all, in themselves.
see themselves in all,
and all, in themselves.
All things are governed by speech: speech is the root, from speech they originate; that man who is verily dishonest in speech, he is dishonest in all.

It is better to live your own destiny imperfectly, than to live an imitation of someone else's life with perfection.
A pandit was visiting Ramana Maharshi and they were discussing the Bhagavad-Gita. A devotee asked if there was one verse that could be remembered always as the essence of the Bhagavad-Gita. Sri Ramana immediately quoted Chapter X, verse 20, "I am the Self, Oh Gudakesa, dwelling in the Heart of every being; I am the beginning and the middle and also the end of all beings."
Krishna to Arjuna:
I alone am real, Arjuna, looking out, amused from deep within the eyes of every creature. I am the object of all knowledge, father and mother of the world, the source of all things. I am the goal, the root, the witness, home and refuge, dearest friend, creation and annihilation, everlasting seed and treasure.
I am the radiance of the sun, I open or withhold the rainclouds, I am immortality and death, am being and non-being.
I am the Self, Arjuna, seated in the heart of every creature. I am the origin, the middle, and the end that all must come to.
I am always with all beings; I abandon no one. And however great your inner darkness, you are never separate from me. Let your thoughts flow past you, calmly; keep me near, at every moment; trust me with your life, because I am you, more than you yourself are.

You imagine you are fighting an external force,
while, in fact, nothing is external to you.
There is no external enemy, nothing external to you.
You are fighting your own demons without noticing that
you are dreaming the entire show.
You forget you are not the pursuer nor the pursued.
You chase forms and shapes
and run away from forms and shapes ... all in the dream,
dream activities, dream forms, dream events, dream stories ...
You mistake them to be real
and rather than surrender the dream to its creator,
you imagine yourself to be the character in charge.
Thus, the misery.
You don't need to go anywhere, nor travel to distant lands
to tackle the illusion of separation that is on hand.
You can wake up right now.
See how the entire show is made out of yourself
and is your own creation.
None of it is real but YOU, the eternal Self.
Right here, right now, this very moment,
notice the illusory angst of the I-thought
that creates the world, the body and the mind.
Cease and desist from the illusory tales of the I-thought.

Though I am unborn, of imperishable nature, and though I am the Lord of all beings, yet, ruling over My own Nature, I am born by My own Maya.
As the ego keeps the thread of self-awareness unbroken through infancy, childhood, youth, and old age, so also the embodied soul which gave consciousness to the ego maintains it's awareness uninterruptedly, not only through the stages of earth life, but through the appearance of successive bodies.
Lord Krishna said:
The Lord (Ishwar) dwells in the hearts and mind of all beings but but all individuals are hounded by the illusions of the physical world.
One should try to seek the refuge of the Lord with deep sense of devotion, so that by his grace one can get the everlasting peace of mind.
BG:Ch18:V61,62

Lord Krishna told his disciple Arjuna:
"You have the right to the way you perform your prescribed duty, but the resulting outcome is not under your command. May you continue the march of your duties, unmindful of the outcome"

Thous carriest within thee a Sublime Friend whom thou knowest not. For God dwells in the inner part of every man, but few know how to find Him. The man who sacrifices his desires and his works to the Beings from whom the principles of everything stem, and by whom the Universe was formed through sacrifice, attains perfection. For one who find his happiness and joy within himself, and also his wisdom within himself, is one with God. And, mark well, the Soul which has found God is freed from rebirth and death, from old age and pain, and drinks the water of Immortality.
The wise grieve neither for the dead, nor for the living.
The senses have been conditioned by attraction to the pleasant and aversion to the unpleasant: a man should not be ruled by them; they are obstacles in his path.
Hell has three gates: lust, anger, and greed.
The World deluded by these Three Gunas does not know Me:
Who is beyond these Gunas and imperishable.
Who is beyond these Gunas and imperishable.
The power of God is with you at all times; through the activities of mind, senses, breathing, and emotions; and is constantly doing all the work using you as a mere instrument.
Governing sense, mind and intellect, intent on liberation, free from desire, fear and anger - the sage is forever free.
