As long as one sees faults with the world, he prevails in the knowledge of the senses. The inner purification has not yet occurred in him.

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.

One who experiences prasantta [blissful happiness] within, he will have prasantta [blissful happiness] externally. The mind is a mirror (reflection) for the external.

The law of nature is such that everyone gets happiness according to their needs. The ‘tender’ that everyone (of us) fills out, is indeed fulfilled.

The ‘egoism’ that is used to hurt others will hurt one’s own self. The ‘egoism’ that is used to give happiness to others becomes cause for his own happiness.

A person who thinks he is right, causes great hurt to others and that is why hurt will come to him. A person who believes ‘I am right’, causes a lot of pain to others.

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

Your success in worldly life (sansar) is in proportion to your faith and truthfulness!

War is hell. Hollywood fantasizes about it and makes it look good... war sucks.

I honestly think it is better to be a failure at something you love than to be a success at something you hate.

For me, the most disturbing aspect of the Republican political culture is how it puts its unquenchable thirst for power, domination and a radical ideology above facts, reason and the truth.

Image quality is not the product of a machine, but of the person who directs the machine, and there are no limits to imagination and expression.

Music is so visual now.

I never wanted to be the next Bruce Lee. I just wanted to be the first Jackie Chan.

I was alive, they were not. Go Me. (Touch the Dark)

European standards of beauty are something that plague the entire world - the idea that darker skin is not beautiful, that light skin is the key to success and love. Africa is no exception.

In the beginning, everything was even money.

The children of any nation are its future. A country, a movement, a person that does not value its youth and children does not deserve its future.
