“You need not fear the dead. Are they going to get up and attack you? It is only the alive whom you have to fear!”
(Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi to a devotee who explained her long absence due to the need to cross a graveyard on the way to the ashram)

The sum and substance of the whole matter is that a man must love God, must be restless for Him. It doesn’t matter whether you believe in God with form or in God without form. You may or may not believe that God incarnates Himself as man. But you will realize Him if you have that yearning. Then He Himself will let you know what He is like. If you must be mad, why should you be made for the things of the world? If you must be mad, be mad for God alone.”
(Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa – courtesy – The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna)

“Guru’s ‘upadesa’ is more enduring (‘sãswata’) than the food offered by the mother and the wealth bequeathed by the father!”
(Maha Periyava – courtesy ‘Deivathin Kural’)

“Where there is faith there is no fate!”
(Yogi Ramsuratkumar)

“Whether you catch hold of my feet or my head it is a blessing for me!”
(Sri Shantananda Puri Maharaj (of Vasishtha Guha, Uttarãnchal, Himalayas) to Yogi Ramsuratkumar when the latter caught hold of his feet)

“Do you think that your Guru takes care of you only after you come to him? No! He has been taking care of you even prior to your coming to his presence!”
(Sri Shantananda Puri Maharaj)

“I give people what they want in the hope that they will begin to want what I want to give them!”
(Shirdi Mahatma)
