In Celebration of Sri Swami Satchidananda: A Collage

Integral Yoga Teachings   |   July 9, 2014  |   by  Sri Swami Satchidananda

“There’s no value in digging shallow wells in a hundred places.

Decide on one place and dig deep. Even if you encounter a rock, use dynamite and keep going down.

If you leave that to dig another well, all the first effort is wasted and there is no proof you won’t hit rock again.”

“..just do, leave it there,

if it comes let it come, but don’t look for it.”

“Happiness is not to be sought outside.

It can never come from outside or from inside–

because it simply is. It is always. Where? Everywhere.”

“The moment you understand yourself as the true Self,

you find such peace and bliss that the impressions of the petty enjoyments you experienced before

become as ordinary specks of light in front of the brilliant sun.”

Enjoy the going, enjoying the coming. If you know nothing is permanent, you begin to enjoy everything. If not, you lose your peace.”

“You are not given the light by anyone—

not even by a spiritual teacher. You are that light.”
