Attachment-abhorrence is the foundation for the worldly life and the foundation for ‘Knowledge’ is a state free of all attachments (vitragta).

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!

Sometimes it's the tiniest things that can mean the difference between life and death.

He who has conquered his own coward spirit has conquered the whole outward world

Goals that are not written down and developed into plans are like bullets without powder in the cartridge. People with unwritten goals go through life shooting blanks.

No matter the severity of suffering we experience in this life, it will always be less that what we have deserved for our sins

The people in your life are important. Meaningful relationships with those people are very important.

Sometimes I feel like I'm possessed with a multitude of demons.

If you are willing to discipline yourself, the physical universe won't need to discipline you.

It started out slowly, it's coming on fast. I got a feeling it's gonna last. Timber, I'm falling in love.

In those days it was either live with music or die with noise, and we chose rather desperately to live.

A person that would secure to himself great deference will, perhaps, gain his point by silence as effectually as by anything he can say.
