“Have faith in God and in yourself; that will cure all. Hope for the best, expect the best, toil for the best and everything will come right for you in the end.”

When there are thoughts, it is distraction: when there are no thoughts, it is meditation.

The macrocosm is in its entirety in the body. The body is in its entirety in the heart. Therefore heart is the summarised form of all the macrocosm.

Your own Self-realization is the greatest service you can render the world.

Silence is never-ending speech. In silence one is in intimate contact with the surroundings. Language is only a medium for communicating one’s thoughts to another. Silence is ever speaking.

Realization is to get rid of the delusion that you have not realized.

See who is the subject; and this inquiry leads you to pure Consciousness beyond the subject.

Transforming yourself is a means of giving light to the whole world.

Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside.

Of all the thoughts that rise in the mind, the thought ‘I’ is the first thought.

Silence is truth. Silence is bliss. Silence is peace. And hence Silence is the Self.

The more you prune a plant, the more it grows. So too the more you seek to annihilate the ego, the more it will increase. You should seek the root of the ego and destroy it.

There is no mind to control if you realise the self. The mind having vanished, the self shines forth. In the realised man, the mind may be active or inactive, the self remains for him.

Realisation is our nature. It is nothing new to be gained. What is new cannot be eternal. Therefore there is no need for doubting if one would lose or gain the Self.

You have to ask yourself the question ‘Who am I?’ This investigation will lead in the end to the discovery of something within you which is behind the mind. Solve that great problem and you will solve all other problems.

Whatever is done lovingly, with righteous purity and with peace of mind, is a good action. Everything which is done with the stain of desire and with agitation filling the mind is classified as a bad action.

The life of action need not be renounced. If you meditate for an hour or two every day you can then carry on with your duties. If you meditate in the right manner then the current of mind induced will continue to flow even in the midst of your work.

I’m really good at being sarcastic with guys. That’s the best way to hang out with them, because that’s what guys . They don’t want the quiet, prissy little things.

I love Tony Jaa. He’s one of the best and most capable martial arts stuntmen in the world.

And it is certain that those who do not yield to their equals, who keep terms with their superiors, and are moderate towards their inferiors, on the whole succeed best.

Remember the mind is your best muscle, BIG ARMS can move rocks, but BIG WORDS can move mountains. Ride the brain train for success.

But the prize for courage will surely be awarded most justly to those who best know the difference between hardship and pleasure and yet are never tempted to shrink from danger.

He who has done his best for his own time has lived for all times.

Age is a state of old mind. It gets to a point where if you get old enough, you forget how old you are, and that’s the best thing. And then you walk around kind of like in a fog.

I’m at my best when I’m exhausted and under pressure.
