Knowledge that leads to restlessness (unsteadiness) is tremendous bondage.

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.

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.

I just had a wonderful life, and I couldn't ask for anything else.

Wax myrtle: The birds love this stuff.

There's a certain place you want to get to, and in order to do that, you have to be vulnerable.

You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth.

People generally have more feeling for canals and roads than education. However, I hope we can advance them with equal pace.
