The master is within; meditation is meant to remove the ignorant idea that he is only outside. If he is a stranger whom you await, he is bound to disappear also. What is the use of a transient being like that? But so long as you think you are separate or that you are the body, an external master is also necessary and he will appear to have a body. When the wrong identification of oneself with the body ceases, the master will be found to be none other than the Self – Ramana Maharshi
Every night before you fall asleep, replay in your mind the good moments of the day, and give heartfelt thanks for each one of them. Think about the next day also, and intend that it is going to be amazing, that it is going to be filled with love and joy, and that all good is coming to you. Intend that it is going to be the best day of your life. Then when you wake in the morning, BEFORE you get out of bed, declare your intentions again for the day and give deep thanks as though you have received them all – Rhonda Byrne

See with the eyes of love
Hear with the ears of love,
Work with the hands of love,
Thinks thoughts of love,
Feel love in every nerve.
~ Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba
When the power of love replaces the love of power, man will have a new name: God – Sri Chinmoy
Arise, transcend Thyself, thou art man and the whole nature of man
Is to become more than himself – Sri Aurobindo
A leader is a ladder. Indeed, a leader is he who lifts his followers up, and not he who pushes his followers down. A supreme leader is he who has the dreamer’s eyes and the doer’s hands – Sri Chinmoy
Hope
Is not just a word.
Hope
Is today’s beautiful plant.
Hope
Is tomorrow’s fruitful tree.
Sri Chinmoy
This Self is neither born nor dies, neither grows nor decays, nor does it suffer any change.
When a pot is broken, the space within it is not. Similarly, when the body dies the Self in it remains eternal – Ramana Maharshi
It is so important that you are grateful for everything in your life. Many people focus on the one thing they want and then forget to be grateful for all the things they have. Without gratitude you cannot achieve anything through the law of attraction, because if you are not emanating gratitude from your being, then by default you are emanating ungratefulness. Be proactive and use the frequency of your being to receive what you want – Rhonda Byrne
