“Realisation is not acquisition of anything new nor is it a new faculty. It is only removal of all camouflage.”

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.

Beyond the belief that something can be lost, there is nothing to lose.

The question ‘Who am I?’ is not really meant to get an answer, the question ‘Who am I?’ is meant to dissolve the questioner.

The state we call realization is simply being oneself, not knowing anything or becoming anything.

It is said that the heart is in the microcosm just as the orb of the sun in the macrocosm. The mind in Sahasrara is like the disc of the moon.

Misery does not exist in reality but only in mere imagination.

The self is known to every one but not clearly. You always exist.

Peace is the inner nature of humankind. If you find it within yourself, you will then find it everywhere.

To the extent we behave with humility, to that extent good will result.

If a person realises his position and stays in his own self, things that are to happen will happen. Things that are not to happen will not happen. The shakti that is in the world, is only one. All these troubles arise if we think that we are separate from that shakti.

No one succeeds without effort. Those who succeed owe their success to perseverance.

Liberation exists- and you will never be liberated.

In the Heart’s cavity, the sole Brahman as an ever-persisting ‘I’ shines direct in the form of the Self. Into the Heart enter thyself, with mind in search or in deeper plunge. Or by restraint of life-movement be firmly poised in the Self.

Remove the Ego and Avidya (Ignorance) is gone. Look for it, the ego vanishes and the real Self alone remains.

Instead of indulging in mere speculation, devote yourself here and now to the search for the Truth that is ever within you.

The diversity in the faculties of men, from which the rights of property originate, is not less an insuperable obstacle to an uniformity of interests.

As great minds have the faculty of saying a great deal in a few words, so lesser minds have a talent of talking much, and saying nothing.

The human faculties of perception, judgment, discriminative feeling, mental activity, and even moral preference, are exercised only in making a choice. He who does anything because it is the custom, makes no choice.

Our jobs make relentless calls on a narrow band of our faculties, reducing our chances of achieving rounded personalities and leaving us to suspect (often in the gathering darkness of a Sunday evening) that much of who we are, or could be, has gone unexplored.

In exalting the faculties of the soul, we annihilate, in a great degree, the delusion of the senses.

I would never accept the recommendation of the theological faculty.

The true scientist never loses the faculty of amazement.

Some of our philosophizing divines have too much exalted the faculties of our souls, when they have maintained that by their force mankind has been able to find out God.
