“All illusion comes and goes, but the soul remains unchanged. What is meant by God-realization is to actually experience this important thing that the soul is eternal.”

I am also an artist. I have the whole world as my canvas. I paint souls.

The best way to cleanse the heart and prepare for the stilling of the mind is to lead a normal, worldly life. Living in the midst of your day-to-day duties, responsibilities, likes, dislikes, etc., will help you. All these become the very means for the purification of your heart.

Irrespective of doubts and convictions, and for the Infinite Love I bear for one and all, I continue to come as the Avatar, to be judged time and again by humanity in its ignorance, in order to help man distinguish the Real from the false.

What I want from my lovers is real, unadulterated love, and from my genuine workers I expect real work done.

The easiest and shortest way to God-realization is through the contact of a Sadguru, which means keeping the company or sahavas of such a Master, obeying him and serving him. This remedy is like a special express train which carries you straight to your destination.

To ask for a purely intellectual proof of the existence of God is like asking for the privilege of being able to see with your ears!

Truth is simple, but Illusion makes it infinitely intricate. The person is rare who possesses an insatiable longing for Truth; the rest allow Illusion to bind them ever more and more.

I love artists, because through art one can express oneself beautifully.

I am the Avatar of this Age!

God has been everlastingly working in Silence, unobserved, unheard, except by those who experience His Infinite Silence. Those who have got the courage and wisdom to surrender themselves to a Perfect Master are the recipients of His Grace.

One of the most difficult things to learn is to render service without bossing, without making a fuss about it, and without any consciousness of high and low. In the world of spirituality, humility counts at least as much as utility.

The best course for My lover is to remember Me wholeheartedly as much as one can…and leave the rest to Me.

Those who constantly want something will never feel happy.

To love God in the most practical way is to love our fellow beings. If we feel for others in the same way as we feel for our own dear ones, we love God.

Art when inspired with love leads to higher realms, and that art will open for you the inner life.

Happiest is he who expects no happiness from others. Love delights and glorifies in giving, not receiving. So learn to love and give, and not to expect anything from others.

Religion is only the illusory Sun which revolves around man as long as he does not revolve around himself.

Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.

Never say never, because limits, like fears, are often just an illusion.

Success, fame, and fortune, they’re all illusions. All there is that is real is the friendship that two can share.

Illusions are to the soul what atmosphere is to the earth.

Sometimes people don’t want to hear the truth because they don’t want their illusions destroyed.

Any fear is an illusion. You think something is standing in your way, but nothing is really there. What is there is an opportunity to do your best and gain some success.

One day everything will be well, that is our hope. Everything’s fine today, that is our illusion.
