What is the nature of egoism? It spends away everything in its power!

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!

He felt now that he was not simply close to her, but that he did not know where he ended and she began.

A search for knowledge is a search for the truth.

I really believe that it is honesty about our imperfect selves that makes everyone do better and be better.

You may not know what the outcome will be, but you have to try to give yourself a future, no matter how long it takes. You have to hold on to hope.

The future belongs to nations who have grains not guns.

It flattered her, where she was most susceptible of flattery, to think how, wound about in their hearts, however long they lived she would be woven...

You are not your poetry. Your self-esteem shouldn't depend on whether you publish, or whether some editor or writer you admire thinks you're any good.

True interactivity is not about clicking on icons or downloading files, it's about encouraging communication.

The same water that will kill you, drown you, give you hypothermia is the same water that will help you survive.

Mathematics commands all my respect, but I have no use for engines.
