“The intellect of most persons is harnessed by innumerable wants. From the spiritual point of view, such a life is the lowest type of human existence. The highest type of human existence is free from all wants and is characterised by sufficiency or contentment.”

Joke I read somewhere: They say that God is the innermost dweller of all. Well I hope He likes enchiladas – cause that’s what He’s getting! Love delights and glorifies in giving, not receiving.

If you are convinced of God’s existence then it rests with you to seek Him, to see Him and to realize Him. Do not search for God outside of you. God can only be found within you, for His only abode is the heart.

The finding of God is the coming to one’s own self.

Difficulties give us the opportunity to prove our greatness by overcoming them.

Love and understanding never condemn but always seek to help and encourage.

Being is Dying by Loving.

The happiness of God-realization is self-sustained, eternally fresh and unfailing, boundless and indescribable. And it is for this happiness that the world has sprung into existence.

If God can be found through the medium of any drug, God is not worthy of being God.

…the more a person becomes spiritually minded or advances towards God, the more tolerant he becomes and the less differentiation he sees.

Things that are real are given and received in silence.

Live a sincere life; be natural, and be honest with yourself.

This whole universe, with all its vastness, grandeur and beauty, is nothing but sheer imagination. In spite of so many discoveries, researches and scientific knowledge, the creation remains a great unsolved riddle.

The satisfaction derived from the fleeting things of life is not lasting; and our wants remain unfulfilled. There is thus a general sense of dissatisfaction accompanied by all kinds of worries.

Only in the human form is it possible for life to attain its final goal, which is to realize the all-pervading and infinite Divinity.

I only know one yoga: ‘You Go.’

Light can penetrate any amount of darkness but no amount of darkness can penetrate light.

Harness the Power of Accelerated Failure – the faster you fail, the faster you succeed.

I always check my harness before I do a stunt; I test-drive the cars I have to race or explode.

I went on to be inspired by many other artists and forms of art, and was soon directed to a place that would help harness my experiences and develop my voice within the craft, LaGuardia High School of Performing Arts in New York City.

Years hence, perhaps, may dawn an age, More fortunate, alas! than we, Which without hardness will be sage, And gay without frivolity.
