“The Higher Self is whispering to you softly in the silence between your thoughts.”

There is a light within each of us that can never be diminished or extinguished. It can only be obscured by forgetting who we are

The Universe contains three things that cannot be destroyed; Being, Awareness and LOVE.

What you pay attention to grows. If your attention is attracted to negative situations and emotions, then they will grow in your awareness.

The purpose of life is the expansion of happiness.

The next thing you think, the next action you take, will either create a new possibility for you, or it will repeat the past.

Change your story, change your life. Basically, that’s what it is.

You alone are the judge of your worth and your goal is to discover infinite worth in yourself, no matter what anyone else thinks.

It’s hard enough to change ourselves. We can’t expect other people to change so that we feel better. We have to take the journey ourselves.

The person you call an enemy is an exaggerated aspect of your own shadow self.

I teach people that no matter what the situation is, no matter how chaotic, no matter how much drama is around you, you can heal by your presence if you just stay within your center.

The key to lasting happiness is to stop looking for it, and to know that you already have it.

To acquire true self power you have to feel beneath no one, be immune to criticism and be fearless.

If you restore balance in your own self, you will be contributing immensely to the healing of the world.

In our imaginations we believe that love is apart from us. Actually there is nothing but love, once we are ready to accept it. When you truly find love, you find yourself.

Every time you are tempted to react in the same old way, ask if you want to be a prisoner of the past or a pioneer of the future.

Meditation is a vital way to purify and quiet the mind, thus rejuvenating the body.

A conversation isn’t a competition.

Atheism is just a way of clearing the space for better conversations.

A conversation does not have to be scintillating in order to be memorable. I once met a president of the United States, and his second sentence to me was about knees.

Two people in a conversation amount to four people talking. The four are what one person says, what he really wanted to say, what his listener heard, and what he thought he heard.

I guess the best advice I ever got or anyone could get for doing a talk show, though it has not been easy very often, was from Jack Paar, who said, ‘Kid, don’t make it an interview. Interviews have clipboards, and you’re like David Frost. Make it a conversation.’

Instead of yielding to idle conversation it might profit one to cultivate silence and contemplation.

Of course you cannot compare my Hindi with a Hindi-speaking person, but I am confident enough to hold a conversation in mixed Hindi-English.

A State without the means of some change is without the means of its conservation.
