“And I hurt in my heart,
To be wounded by love is to be willing to sacrifice
All your smaller loves for the greatest love.
Because the wound causes an ache so great,
You will desire to give up all else
To have more of that which wounded you.”

“To realise God is your duty. God-realisation is your birth right. Develop strong yearning for God-realisation.
Have confidence in your self. Be self-controlled. Be fiery in your determination. Stick to your resolves tenaciously.
Cultivate a very strong faith in God. Do total self-surrender and obtain His grace.
May you be established in God-consciousness.”

“The Ganga River starts from Gangotri in Himalayas. She encounters many obstacles on her way, but she finally reaches the goal—the ocean. Similarly, the Sadhaka should never give up his struggle, however insurmountable the obstacles in the path may appear to be. All difficulties and obstacles will be removed through the grace of the Lord if he is sincere in his Yogic practices, and he will reach the goal.”
