The greatest religion [dharma] is that we keep everyone pleased.

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!

It is not our fame or wealth that puts us in danger

If I only had a little humility, I would be perfect.

Let go with love.

The future is the worst thing about the present.

People say I think too much about women, yet, after all what is there more important to think about?

Keep up appearances; there lies the test. The world will give thee credit for the rest.

I deeply detest social distinction and snobbery, and in that lies my strong aversion to titular honours.

Today on the way home, it snows. Big, soft caressing flakes fall onto our skin like cold moths; the air fills with feathers.

There are lots of good reasons to abandon a project. Having a little competition is not one of them.

Our society has lost confidence in the power of reason, except perhaps scientific reason.
