  • There is a limit even to the potency of Ramanama. Can a thief, for instance, ever expect to gain his object by taking to Ramanama?

    March 15, 1946, CWMG, vol. LXXXIII, p. 413.
  • True happiness does not come from obtaining what one likes. It comes from cultivating a liking for what one dislikes.

    March 16, 1946, CWMG, vol. LXXXIII, p. 413.
  • He whose eye says one thing, his tongue another, and his heart yet another, is a worthless fellow.

    March 17, 1946, CWMG, vol. LXXXIII, p. 413.
  • When we know that Death may snatch us away at any time, what right have we to put off till tomorrow what we can do today?

    March 18, 1946, CWMG, vol. LXXXIII, p. 413.
  • Good deeds let us do right now; the bad ones let us always keep on postponing.

    March 19, 1946, CWMG, vol. LXXXIII, p. 413.
  • He who has God for his companion, why need he be sorrow­ful or anxious or look for another companion?

    March 20, 1946, CWMG, vol. LXXXIII, p. 413.
  • To remember God and forget others is to see God even in them.

    March 21, 1946, CWMG, vol. LXXXIII, p. 413.
  • The more I think about it, the more I am convinced that Ramanama, recited from the heart and with realization, is the panacea for all our ills.

    March 22, 1946, CWMG, vol. LXXXIII, p. 413.
  • Attachment, aversion and so on, are also diseases, and worse than bodily ailments. How can they be banished except by Ramanama?

    March 23, 1946, CWMG, vol. LXXXIII, p. 414.
  • Uncleanliness of the mind is far more dangerous than that of the body. The latter, however, is an indication of the former.

    March 24, 1946, CWMG, vol. LXXXIII, p. 414.
