The world is so lawful that not even a single mosquito can touch you, as long as you do not interfere. If your interference stops, everything will stop.

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!

Anything designed to be inoffensive isn't worth your time -- life itself is pretty offensive, ending as it does with death.

Regardless of one’s age, acquiring new knowledge has always been useful.

Pain and suffering that are not transformed are usually projected onto others.

I am more alive in the theater than anywhere else, but what I take into the theater I get from the streets.

Fighting men are the city's fortress.

The pathway to lasting honor is to honor Christ.

Do I exaggerate? Boy, do I, and I'd do it more if I could get away with it.

The pseudo-conscience ... demands not obedience to the inner law of our being, but conformity to super-imposed convention.

One of the troubles is this: the heart isn't heart-shaped.

There’s a lot for screenwriters to steal from songwriters, in terms of getting to the point.
