“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.”

Mind is consciousness which has put on limitations. You are originally unlimited and perfect. Later you take on limitations and become the mind.

Mind is a wonderful force inherent in the Self.

There is nothing so simple as being the Self. It requires no effort, no aid. One has to leave off the wrong identity and be in his (her) eternal, natural, inherent state.

I Am’ is the name of God, God is none other than the Self.

We are so engrossed with the objects, or appearances revealed by the light, that we pay no attention to the light.

The pure mind is itself Brahman; it therefore follows that Brahman is not other than the mind of the sage.

An unawakened person sees only his mind, which is merely a reflection of the light of pure consciousness arising from the Heart.

The body dies, but the spirit that transcends it cannot be touched by death.

There is neither Past nor Future. There is only the Present.

Sense-perceptions can only be indirect knowledge, and not direct knowledge. Only one’s own awareness is direct knowledge.

You may go on reading any number of books on Meditation. They can only tell you ‘Realize the Self’. The Self cannot be found in books. You have to find it for yourself in yourself.

The “I” thought is said to be the sum total of all thoughts. The source of the “I” thought has to be inquired into.

It is within your competence to think and thus to get bound or to cease thinking and thus be free.

Good thoughts keep off bad thoughts. They must themselves disappear before the state of realization.

That is the ego which rises and sinks periodically. But you exist always. That which lies beyond the ego is consciousness – the Self.

Apart from the body does the world exist? Has anyone seen the world without the body?

What each individual wills is obstructed by everyone else, and what emerges is something that no one willed.

When someone was willing to drown with me, I really didn’t want to drown anymore.

Nobody’s going to force me to do something against my will. What do I owe anybody that I should submit my will to them?

You can’t be afraid of people willing to hurt you, cause if you fear life, then you will never live.

We’ll organize workers in this movement as long as we’re willing to sacrifice. The moment we stop sacrificing, we stop organizing.

Whenever we submit our will to someone else’s opinion, a part of us dies.

See no one loves you more than me and no one ever will.

The will to do, the soul to dare.
