Gnan is that which does not let kashays arise when one’s pocket is picked.

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!

As a rationalist, pragmatist, and a scientist I rarely involve myself in the cosmological arguments of the creation of the universe.

The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult and left untried.

Stay focused. You gotta believe in yourself. I think that's the biggest thing I've been able to do throughout my whole career, even before I actually had a big career in this industry.

The bad thing about all religions is that, instead of being able to confess their allegorical nature, they have to conceal it.

... the great artists ... do not want security, egoistic or materialistic.

I think my stubbornness, hardheadedness and stupidity is what has allowed me to play for 20 years.

Peace has never come from dropping bombs. Real peace comes from enlightenment and educating people to behave more in a divine manner.

Trade unionism is not socialism. It is the capitalism of the proletariat.

Everyone just needs to get over themselves.

Evolution is nothing but matter become conscious of itself.
