Only Gnan (Knowledge of the Self) will give liberation. All other instruments (& practices) create 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.

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.

Servile doubt argues an impotence of mind, that says we fear because we dare not meet misfortunes.

I've often thought that when something is hard for you, whether it's going to law school or anything else that challenges you, that's probably what you should do.

A small pot boils quick. You can tell much about the depth of one's character by how quickly he 'boils'.

I always thought that writing poetry was in itself a political act.

Why will people go astray when they have this blessed Book to guide them?
