“Aim high, aim at the highest, and all lower aims are thereby achieved. It is looking below on the stormy sea of differences that makes you sink. Look up, beyond these and see the One Glorious Real, and you are saved.”

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.

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.

Connect the dots between individual roles and the goals of the organization. When people see that connection, they get a lot of energy out of work. They feel the importance, dignity, and meaning in their job.

I fight for the man next to me. It don’t matter about me, what matters about me is sacrificing for you; for the ultimate goal which is us.

The achievement of one goal should be the starting point of another.

People with goals succeed because they know where they’re going.

Achievement requires more than a vision – it takes courage, resolve and tenacity. All you have got to do is plant that seed in your mind, care for it, work steadily toward your goal, and it will become a reality.

The productivity of a work group seems to depend on how the group members see their own goals in relation to the goals of the organization.

You must raise your aspirations, set higher goals, and make detailed plans to achieve them.

Think about your goals at every opportunity throughout the day.
