“You know that you know nothing. Find out that knowledge.”

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.

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 self cannot be found in books. You have to find it for yourself, within yourself.

For the future, the motto is, “No days unalert.”

If someone is self-aware, then they can always continue to grow. If they’re not self-aware, I think it’s harder for them to evolve or adapt beyond who they already are.

There’s an awareness of fashion in this country, and it’s not limited to gay people.

Sometimes when we hear a song we breathe deeply and sigh. This reminds the prophet that the soul arises from heavenly harmony. In thinking about this, he was aware that the soul itself has something in itself of this music.

When awareness embraces the senses, it enlivens them.

I’m only rich because I know when I’m wrong.

I know who I am and who I may be, if I choose.
