Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: The Satguru is the boatman...

"Life is like entering a boat; on the, ocean of Samsara, the boat will guide, it will be going. The boatman, is the Satguru, but which boat you want to enter? You have to know the destination, where the boat will lead you. Without knowing the destination, don’t just enter any boat!"

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: You will leave everything here...

"We always say this is ‘our’, this is ‘mine’, we always say that we posses things. But I am asking you, “What have you come here with?” In the Gita, Krishna said, “You have come with nothing, you came empty-handed. Everything that you took, you took it from here and when you will go, you will leave everything here.”

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: Calm the mind...

"If your mind is always running forward and your body is running backward, you are missing a lot. So calm the mind. Only in the stillness, that yourself will relieve."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: purify yourself...

"As long as you are stuck in the mind and don’t purify the mind, this love will never shine. You will never realize this love. Even if you think you know it, because you have read about it, or somebody has told you about it, or Swami has said it, but as long as you don’t purify your mind, as long as you don´t purify yourself… it will be difficult to realize this love."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: Humility...

"It’s easy to talk about humility, but sometimes difficult to practice, because we are so bound by our pride which perceives us to be above everybody else. If we really want to change something, if we really want to let go of this pride, it will happen."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: Love God in everybody...

"Work and love God. Whatever you do, every action, every thought, focus your mind on doing it for God. Love God in everybody and everything around you. And when you love, love one hundred percent, try not to doubt this love because when you doubt it, even a little bit of doubt stops your advancement. "

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: Think of yourself being the spirit...

"The more you think of yourself being human - like many people think - the more you become human. But the more you think of yourself being the Spirit, being part of Divinity, the more you will become the Spirit and Divinity. You think that you are just this body - and very often you focus only on the body- so, what happen? The more you focus on the body, the more you have pain and the more you are miserable because the reality gets covered, becomes shadowed. And when this reality gets covered, of course it brings pain."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: Enjoy Him at every moment...

"We all talk about God, but we don’t know God, we don’t have an image of Him. Of course, there are different aspects of the Divinity. But one thing that we can do is to feel God and that’s how we can know that He is with us all the time, we can feel Him continuously and enjoy Him at every moment."

Wisdom of Swami Vishwananda: Whenever we pray...

"Whenever we pray, we pray toward the outside, we say God is here and we are apart. We should stop really separating the Divine and us. Try your best always to pray- it doesn’t matter which kind. If you talk with God, you talk with your True Self inside you. Do it from the heart"
