Speak not in haste (without understanding), walk not in haste (without knowing the path). Take slow cautious steps (in the path of yoga). Let not pride overtake you. Lead a simple life (free of passions)

“Beyond the five senses there is mind, that is breath; beyond the mind there is buddhi (Intellect), that is bindu, or spot [in between the eyebrows]; beyond the bindu, Brahma, the ultimate Self, is the Pure Void, and Formless.”
Lahiri Mahasaya
“If you write in reverse order and see it in the mirror, it looks straight. Similarly, if you can reverse the breath of the body, then you will see swarupa, the form of your SELF.”

“Practising Kriya is the study of the Vedas. Kriya is Yagya [performance of vedic rituals]. All should perform this Yagya.
All Devatas (Gods) practice these Kriyas. One who practices Kriya is a Devata.”
Lahiri Mahasaya
“Babaji’s spiritual state is beyond human comprehension. The dwarfed vision of men cannot pierce to his transcendental star. One attempts in vain even to picture the avatar’s attainment. It is inconceivable.”
Sri Yukteswar Giri
” The experience of Silence in activity is the highest in life, It is the greatest Nirvana. In this Nirvana, even Silence seems to be lost. Where is it? You are THAT “

“My worship is of a very strange kind. In this, Ganga water is not required
No special utensils are necessary, Even flowers are redundant.
In this Puja, all gods have disappeared and emptiness has emerged with euphoria”
Lahiri Mahasaya
“Kriya is an ancient science, Yogananda writes. Mahavatar Babaji rediscovered and clarified the technique after it had been lost in the Dark Ages. Babaji revealed to Lahiri Mahasaya: “The Kriya Yoga which I am giving to the world through you in this nineteenth century is a revival of the same science which Krishna gave, millenniums ago, to Arjuna, and which was later known to Patanjali, and to Christ, St. John, St. Paul, and other disciples.”
