“Even in the world, the yogi who faithfully discharges his responsibilities, without personal motive or attachment, treads the sure path of enlightenment.”
—Mahavatar Babaji

“Each person is responsible for his or her inner life -which is the creation of one’s thoughts, desires, feelings and ideas.”
—Lahiri Mahasaya

“When, by inference, the true nature of the universe and relation between it and one’s essence of being is known, and when one knows that lack of understanding causes souls to forget their true Self and experience suffering, one wishes to be relieved from misfortune. Freedom from bondage of that ignorance then becomes the primary aim of life.”
—Swami Sri Yukteswar

“Discard the false belief that there is a separation between spiritual and material life. Perform duties skillfully. All constructive work is purifying if done with the right motive. If you sometimes fail to accomplish your purposes, don’t be discouraged; that is the best time to sow the seeds of success. In everything you do, express your limitless qualities.”
—Paramahansa Yogananda

“There is no need to wait until you are fully enlightened; soul qualities can be expressed now. This moment, where you are, established in awareness of your true nature, selflessly perform constructive, appropriate actions which will enhance your life and will benefit others and the environment.”
—Mr. Roy Eugene Davis
