Why does one ruminate about the past? He is treating his wounded egoism.

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 IGNORANT of absolute truth. But I am humble before my ignorance and therein lies my honor and my reward.

I took a gamble to exercise leadership without losing my feminine nature.

I try to stay as private as possible; I know that's difficult, especially playing here in New York, but I make an attempt at it.

Stop whining. You're not a victim. You're a victor.

That which is around me does not affect my mood; my mood affects that which is around me.

Whatever you could do with your hands was important because it kept you in a motion of being able to produce something, and producing something kept you balanced in a way.

Stop creating reports, and start creating understanding.

Our ordinary language has no means for describing a particular shade of color. Thus it is incapable of producing a picture of this color.

If a nation loses its storytellers, it loses its childhood.

Thought tends to collect in pools.
