The Story Of Swami Rama - Holybook

The Story Of Swami Rama
Keep your mind full of agreeable memories and pleasant
associations of ideas; all the time saturated with happy
thoughts and godly notions; you will have no occasion
to suffer or repine.
It was Muhammad's realisation of God's love for man,
however little he may have put it into words, that
thrilled through the Arab world and drew the tribe one
man to fight beneath his banner.
The Self within is the Self without Yes, but the Real Self,
and not the false self induced by "sense-slavery".
The true work is God-consciousness. If you could
sustain it then, whether in busy New York or the silent
Himalayas, the effect remains the same. The place, form
and mode of activity do not matter.
A man never rises so high as when he knows not
whither he is going.
The suffering man ought to consume his own smoke;
there is no good in emitting smoke till you have made it
into fire, which in the metaphorical sense, too, all smoke
is capable of becoming.
