– Paramahamsa Hariharananda

"We are born for "Self-realization"- the God –consciousness in us. Think of him constantly, no matter what you are doing. Practice makes a man perfect. An ounce of practice is worth a ton of theory. Theory will take a devotee outside, while practice will take a devotee inside: theory will make an indivual restless and selfish. Practice will give inner peace and will liberate a devotee from the ego. Practice and practice in order to feel the presence of god in every breath, in every sound that you hear, in everything that you see, in every thought that comes to your mind, and even in the state with-out breath."
– Swami Hariharananda 1977
