A guru's only interest is to help you progress spiritually. If the teacher wants something from the disciple, he is not a master. The master's only desire is to give, not to take.

Prayer means you are trying to tell God what to do. Meditation means you understand your limitations and shut up 
You waste precious time each day. Every little moment you spent with God will be spent to your best advantage

The spiritual journey is a journey towards clarity, but never towards certainty. When you draw conclusions about beginnings and endings, you are a believer. When you accept that you really do not know anything, you become a seeker.

Forget the past. The vanished lives of all men are dark with many shames. Human conduct is ever unreliable until man is anchored in the divine. Everything in future will improve if you are making a spiritual effort now
If you want to be spiritual, seek good company and don't mix with those whose bad habits may wrongly influence you

If circumstances are bad and you have to bear them, do not make them a part of yourself.

if the process of dividing life into proper compartments doesn't mean much to you anymore, you want to know the timelessness of life, the boundless nature of what this is, then you need to be little bit set on fire. nice logic or petty emotions won't do it.

To become open is the most important thing. So just believing that I am open and not doing anything about it, is no good. Openness has to be tested with your commitment of time and effort. How open you are, you have to prove, every day to yourself and to the existence
