Any type of desire is beggary. One who is without any desire is called ‘Gnani’ [the enlightened one].

The worldly life means a market place of sensual pleasures. Worldly life means false (temporary) happiness all the time. And moksha (liberation) means permanent happiness all the time.

Believing happiness to be in the eternal thing is called the enlightened vision (samkit).

There is no happiness in what worldly people believe happiness in, there is happiness in what Gnani [the enlightened one] believes the happiness in. What people regard as happiness is not happiness.

Things do not give unhappiness, ignorance (of one’s real Self) does.

Without the 'applied awareness' of the Soul, 'happiness' cannot arise.

Human beings are unable to be honest with themselves about themselves. They cannot talk about themselves without embellishing.

Adjusting to the passage of time is a key to success and to life: just being able to roll with the punches.

When I first heard bands like Tortoise, it seemed to come off the back of that world, like let's make a record with three vibraphones and release it on a seven-inch with black-and-white artwork.

Actors today go into TV, which I don't consider has a lot to do with acting. They only think of stardom

Love is the song of the soul singing to God. It is the balanced rhythmic dance of planets - sun and moon lit

What do you get the man who has everything? Might I suggest a gravestone inscribed with the words: so what?
