The mind and the chit are discharging and the world has believed them to be ‘charge’. That is why they attempt to still the mind and the chit, but that is not possible.

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.

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

A wrong mind-set is like bad soil that restricts a plant’s growth. Similarly, limiting beliefs about ‘what we deserve’ hinder our growth. They stop us from being abundant in every area of our life.

How deep and sticky is the darkness of childhood, how rigid the blades of infant evil, which is unadulterated, unrestrained by the convenient cushions of age and its civilizing anesthesia.

The Koran says that there can be no heaven for one who sheds the blood of an innocent neighbour.

Look you dead in the face Now tell me how good does it taste

The people are fed up with corruption and embezzlement. They object to censorship. The first thing that the people of Iran want is free elections.

Flattery labors under the odious charge of servility.

O fortune, fortune! all men call thee fickle.
