Never doubt the existence of God. When doubt arises in the mind, think to yourself: “God is. But I cannot see him because of my bad karma and because of the samskaras in my mind. I will have to wait for his grace.”

रज्जुरूपे परिज्ञाते सर्पखण्डं न तिष्ठति ।
अधिष्ठाने तथा ज्ञाते प्रपञ्च: शून्यतां गत: ।।
The real nature of the rope being known, the appearance of the snake no longer persists; so the substratum being known,1 the phenomenal world disappears completely.

Author note: 1
The substratum being known, etc.—This illusory world has Brahman as its substratum which is hidden from one’s view on account of ignorance. But when one realizes this Brahman by removing ignorance, one is no more deluded into seeing the phenomenal world which, like all other illusory things, vanishes completely before the knowledge of the truth.

— Aparokshanubhuti of Sri Shankaracharya, Verse 96, Translation by Swami Vimuktananda

‘Simply make japa of His name; and pray whole-heartedly, “O Lord, be kind to me.” If the prayer proceeds from the heart, He will surely hear. The Master himself said: “He who came as Rama, and He who came as Krishna, has descended here again” (and with that, he pointed to his own body).

The ideal man is he who, in the midst of the greatest silence and solitude, finds the intensest activity, and in the midst of the intensest activity finds the silence and solitude of the desert. He has learned the secret of restraint, he has controlled himself.
