“Every line of the Hanuman Chalisa is a Mahamantra.”

It is very difficult to know exactly what good should come out of a particular situation. To attempt to manipulate circumstances so your idea of good can come about, is to let the ego play God-and that, as you know, can and does backfire.

Whatever may be guru – he may be a lunatic or a common person. Once you have accepted him, he is the lord of lords.

This world is all attachment. Yet you get worried because you are attached.

It should not be taken in a hot climate. If you are in a place that is cool and peaceful, and you are alone and your mind is turned toward God, then you may take the yogi medicine.

Lust, Greed, Anger, Attachment – These are all paths to hell.

When you are sad or in pain or sick or you witness any cremation then you actually learn the many truths of life.

Love all men as God, even if they hurt you or shame you. Be like Gandhi and Christ.

It’s better to see God in everything than to try to figure it out.

The whole universe is our home and all residing in it belong to our family… instead of trying to see God in a particular appearance, it is better to see him in everything.

Often one goes for one thing and finds another

Attachment is the strongest block to realization.

Total truth is necessary. You must live by what you say.

It is not necessary to meet your guru on the physical plane. The guru is not external.

The best form in which to worship God is every form.

Love is the strongest medicine.

Never put anyone out of your heart.

When there is no more separation between ‘this’ and ‘that,’ it is called the still-point of the Tao. At the still point in the center of the circle one can see the infinite in all things.

To exercise no-thought and rest in nothing is the first step toward resting in Tao. To start from nowhere and follow no road is the first step toward attaining Tao.

When affirmation and negation came into being, Tao faded. After Tao faded, then came one-sided attachments.

Those who follow the Tao are of clear mind. They do not load their mind with anxieties and are flexible in their adjustment to external conditions.

We must see what in the Israeli identity – in the Israeli – we can give to other people rather than speaking so often of taking, expanding territory.

A poet must be a psychologist, but a secret one: he should know and feel the roots of phenomena but present only the phenomena themselves in full bloom or as they fade away.

The whole wide world is a cathedral; I stand inside, the air is calm, And from afar at times there reaches My ear the echo of a psalm.

After a while, if you’re committed, you start to believe in the things in which you’re praying. It’s just cognitive dissonance. You can’t live a completely religious life and not start to have it sink in.
