Christ beside me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ within me, Christ beneath me, Christ above me.
Saint Patrick
-
Introspection, or ‘sitting in the silence,’ is an unscientific way of trying to force apart the mind and senses, tied together by the life force. The contemplative mind, attempting its return to divinity, is constantly dragged back toward the senses by the life currents.
Paramahansa Yogananda
-
When your mind is fully withdrawn in superconsciousness, it becomes centered in the bliss of the spine. You are then in your ideational, or causal, body. That is the level of the soul.
Paramahansa Yogananda
-
All honest work is good work; it is capable of leading to self-development, provided the doer seeks to discover the inherent lessons and makes the most of the potentialities for such growth.
Paramahansa Yogananda
-
The greatest evil is physical pain.
Saint Augustine
-
Those who give themselves to prayer should in a special manner have always a devotion to St. Joseph; for I know not how any man can think of the Queen of the angels, during the time that she suffered so much with the Infant Jesus, without giving thanks to St. Joseph for the services he rendered them then.
Saint Teresa of Avila
-
A thing is not necessarily true because badly uttered, nor false because spoken magnificently.
Saint Augustine
-
When an idea exclusively occupies the mind, it is transformed into an actual physical or mental state.
Swami Vivekananda
-
Thou hast created us for Thyself, and our heart is not quiet until it rests in Thee.
Saint Augustine
-
O Lord, help me to be pure, but not yet.
Saint Augustine
