When a person’s debt increases a lot, at first he will feel he wants to pay it all back, later he will think, ‘Why give back?’ That spoils from within. We should not sign from within.

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!

I am wired on some deep level to seek out something to be worried and obsess about.

The white spruce forest along the banks is most inspiring, magnificent here. Down the terraced slopes and right to the water's edge on the alluvial soil it stands in ranks.

I only buy a computer when it's two years old, after the glitches have been worked out.

Use power wisely. If you search your heart, I think you will.

If the terriers and bariffs are torn down, this economy will grow.

Flowers in the city are like lipstick on a woman-it just makes you look better to have a little color.

I think, as a woman, you do sort of have to work twice as hard, but I don't feel as if I wasn't given opportunities.

I can assure all Americans that the best decision is going to be made based on all of the information presented to the president.

Feminism is the theory, lesbianism is the practice.

I have been maturing as a teacher.
