The Living Quietness

The whole world is your home. I am the Mother of the wicked, I am the Mother of the virtuous. Whenever you are in distress, say that 'I have a Mother'. Sri Sarada Devi.

"Tarry a while...", Swami Sivananda

"Watch them and decide: Let not appearances deceive you. There goes the devotee, chanting the sacred Name of Narayana. He sings in ecstasy and dances in rapture for an hour or two. He is vehement in asserting that all indeed is Narayana. Here is a great monist who would not stop repeating, 'I am God', 'I am God'. Profound is his learning, and mighty his swords-manship in argument.

Tarry a while, friend. Watch them under three conditions. When desperately hungry, when bitterly provoked and insulted and when another man is pathetically distressed. Now if they fulfill their former assertions, all hail to them, obeisance to them, veritable God on earth are they, lest the dust of their feet adorn our forehead. Whereas, if they do not, keep yourself aloof from them, lest you should be infected. The bacteria of tuberculosis and plague are harmless when compared to theirs." - Swami Sivananda
