“Listen to your own Self. If you listen to that Self within, then you find the Truth.”

Be strong then, and enter into your own body; there you have a solid place for your feet. Think about it carefully! Don’t go off somewhere else! just throw away all thoughts of imaginary things, and stand firm in that which you are.

The river that flows in you also flows in me.

For millions of years you have slept. This morning, will you not wake?

There is no river at all, and no boat, and no boatman. There is not even a rope to tow the boat, and no one to pull it. There is no earth, no sky, no time, no thing, no shore, no ford!

Listen, my friend. He who loves understands.

If you make love with the divine now, in the next life you will have the face of satisfied desire.

Lift the veil that obscures the heart, and there you will find what you are looking for.

The world will die, but I shall not die.If God dies, then I will die;If he does not die, then why should I die?

But if a mirror ever makes you sad you should know that it does not know you.

Do what you do with another human being, but never put them out of your heart.

Admire the diamond that can bear the hits of a hammer. Many deceptive preachers, when critically examined, turn out to be false.

Seeking Why run around sprinkling holy water? There’s an ocean inside you, and when you’re ready you’ll drink.

God, provide me with enough sustenance that my family is taken care of, that neither I remain hungry, nor does my guest go unfed.

The purpose of labor is to learn; when you know it, the labor is over.

The Lord is in me, the Lord is in you,as life is in every seed, put false pride away and seek the Lord within.

What is a holy person? The one who is aware of others’ suffering.

Rap music is just computerised crap. I listen to Top of the Pops and after three songs I feel like killing someone.

A good producer brings out the best in the artist he’s working with. You shouldn’t be able to listen to something and say, ‘So-and-so produced this album.

Everything I wrote about wasn’t about me, but about the people listening.

I can only listen to what I’m working on, at the time. I can’t listen to anything else because I don’t want to copy it.

I never listened to the people who said I should give it up, which is the main advice I got.

When I was growing up and listening to bands like the Dave Clark Five, the groove was what initially got me going. I really like that funky, heavy groove.

I believe there’s an inner power that makes winners or losers. And the winners are the ones who really listen to the truth of their hearts.

When I look for what I’m going to listen to I go backwards. I’m always going the other way you see. Most people are trying to figure out ‘how do I get in the fast lane going that way?’. I’m going in the other direction. I wanna find the oldest thing to do.
