Where there is the slightest insistence, there is no religion there!

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!

You forgive them and move on.

Life is about changes and opportunities. We don’t always get a perfect picture.

It takes 65 muscles to frown and 13 to make a smile. Why work overtime?

I like to challenge myself and give myself a timeline. It pushes me to be more creative and actually do these things, not just dream about them.

Sometimes when you play music, you start thinking, "This is rocking!"

I bite my fingernails. That's probably not a good thing.

My doctor said I had OCD. I couldn't believe it. I had to call him nine times to make sure.

In 2004, I was the new President of Bravo. I had never run a commercial cable network before…we needed a hit.

And he misses her Like a wind starved sail He sits knowing what direction to go But the current keeps pulling him Down river.

Blessings often give rise to injury, so be careful when things are going your way. Success may be achieved after failure, so don't just give up when you've been disappointed.
