The Knower of ‘taste’ is the Soul. The enjoyer of 'taste' is not the Soul.

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!

Dark night knows what full moon requires When all your love my heart acquiresCelestial bodies no more faded Life makes sound

it is being honest about my painthat makes me invincible.

My success has nothing to do with opportunities or luck

There is no place in my soul, no corner of my character, where God is not.

It's always surprised me that the most successful and really amazing shows are also the happiest environments, and very welcoming.

What you are looking for is what is looking.

To live is often only to have a choice of several despairs.

I feel sometimes like a book tour is a slow series of humiliations and that if you're strong you'll come out of it OK.

If it be true, as I believe it is, that morality is dependent upon religion, then religion is not only the most practical thing in the world, but the first essential.

If you ask, "Am I my brother's keeper?" The answer is, "You are.
