If in the laukik (worldly life), one attains the vision of alaukik (beyond the world), his work is accomplished.

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!

Agony is not something that happens to you.To agonize is a choice.

Hope is generally a wrong guide, though it is very good company by the way.

I think a lot of young people have incredible ideas and incredible insights, but sometimes they wait before they go give their life to something. What I did was just to start a little earlier.

When you look around the room during meetings and practice, you see that everyone has the same goal. It's obvious by the way that everyone is preparing and getting ready.

Architecture is not created, it is discovered – the hand will find solutions before the mind can even comprehend them.

To grow up is to wonder about things; to be grown up is to slowly forget the things you wondered about as a child.

Once you get an agent you're given an opportunity to try a little bit more. It's a really long ladder.

I don't want anybody between a doctor and a patient - not an insurance company bureaucrat or a Washington bureaucrat.

Being privileged to work hard for long hours at something you think is worth doing is the best kind of play.
