To be inactive while engaged in activity is the real inactivity (non-doership)!

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!

Your life is not meant to be used in exchange for mundane things like houses and cars but to purchase greatness.

I'm not afraid of dying. I'm afraid I'll never get a chance to live!

Thanks to the circus between my ears, I can seize upon the smallest disquieting observation and from it extrapolate a terror of cataclysmic proportions.

The Novelist, afraid his ideas may be foolish, slyly puts them in the mouth of some other fool and reserves the right to disavow them.

Believe there is good in the world.

Animals give us their constant, unjaded faces, and we burden them with our bodies and civilized ordeals.

I spent ages figuring out things like viewpoint, how you tell the story, and so on.

Find your purpose and fling your life out to it. Find a way or make one. Try with all your might. Self-made or never made.

I'd rather see a kid get fixated on something they can turn into a career.

If we go to the conference finals and people say we had a bad season, I'll take that.
