O ne may admit clearly and openly, I have not been able to achieve the ideal. But one should never attempt to justify one’s performance in terms of lowering the ideal—for success reasons, or for reasons of comfort, or for any other sort of reason. quote 5448 | Prabhavananda
T here is no failure in spiritual life. We find that clearly set forth as well in the Bhagavad Gita. Even if you seem to fail or stop, what has been gained will not be lost. It is stored— put in a kind of deposit from which you can draw the next time around. quote 5446 | Prabhavananda
T he little space within the heart is as great as the vast universe. The heavens and the earth are there, and the sun and the moon and the stars. Fire and lightening and winds are there, and all that now is and all that is not. quote 5445 | Prabhavananda
