If you cannot love your brother whom you have seen,how can you love God whom you have never seen ? You cannot be selective in your forgiveness,in your kindness,in your tolerance.If you can extend this charitable nature to an impossible person,then you will know that it is possible to extend it towards everyone.

~ Swami Chidananda

AN INSTRUMENT OF THY PEACE/Swami Chidananda in the West

We forget that God is present as the witness of all that we do, all that we see,hear,taste,touch and smell,all the movements and manifestations of our lives.When we forget this and act in a contrary way,for the time being, we are atheists.For us,God does not exist.

~ Swami Chidananda

Use the sacred power of speech or vani to use noble words, words giving respect to others, words pleasing to others. You must make use of your vani so that out of it comes happiness to others, a sense of dignity, not a sense of being degraded or made to feel uncomfortable.

-Swami Chidananda.

Stop identifying your self that you are so and so and son of so & so. No more such things. Identify with pure Self or Absolute Consciousness. You will become Immortal. You will attain Bliss eternal.

-Swami Chidananda

One need not leave one's home, family or profession in order to lead a divine life. What has to be left is the " Ahamkara", the wrong idea that 'I am so and so'. To make your life divine requires an inner change of location, not an outer one.

~Swami Chidananda

If you think failure and defeat, you invite failure and defeat, you deserve failure and defeat, because you asked for it. If you think success, attainment, fulfillment and achievement, then success indeed it will be. Your life will culminate in fulfillment, in glorious achievements, for you will have invited it. That is what you deserve, and that is what you will receive.

-Swami Chidananda
(Chidananda Hun)

Prakriti (Nature) immediately becomes a friend of those who are befriended by Bhagavan (God).

-Swami Chidananda

See God in every face, and then do your service as worship offered to the God who is within all beings. How can you ever be away from Him? Wherever you go He is there. Everywhere He is there.
-Swami Chidananda
