Unless the Self is known, the power of the Self (swa satta) cannot arise.

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 was either the chaos of a crowd of thoughts or the silence of solitude... nothing in between..

Laugh as if it's funny, embrace as if it's love, and smile anyway.

Being popular or not, having company or being alone, are not issues of concern for the developed soul.

Always distance yourself from gossip because it's the worst form of self disruption.

I think the American people are looking for real leadership. That's what I've done in Louisiana, that's what I'll do in America.

...mastery of the emotions is fundamental to a virtuous life.

Every year, thousands of Californians flee that populous paradise for tax-eased small government oasis of America's red states.

Too often the people complain that they have done nothing with their lives and then they wait for somebody to tell them that this isn't so.

You cannot have growth without change.

The Spirit is testifying that a new day is dawning. The stage of the world is being set for a fullness of a harvest and a genuine apostolic reformation in a new way.
