On what basis does the world continue to exist? It is due to the fault of ‘apratikraman' (the mistake for which pratikraman was not done).

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.

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

Mathematics is as much an aspect of culture as it is a collection of algorithms.

[W]e're taught that if one person kills another person, that is murder; but if a government kills a hundred thousand persons, that is patriotism.

Good people drink good beer.

If you want your girls to feel strong and intelligent and be outspoken and fight for what they think is right, then I want to be that type of role model.

When people are forced to interact to survive, their prejudices diminish.

I would have preferred to have been in a film where I could've been more authentic or more human, where the dialogue and my approach to the part could have been more real.
