“Existence cannot go wrong. If it does not fulfill our desires, that simply means our desires were wrong.”

The greatest fear in the world is of the opinions of others. And the moment you are unafraid of the crowd you are no longer a sheep, you become a lion. A great roar arises in your heart, the roar of freedom.

If you really want peace on earth, create peace in your heart, in your being. That is the right place to begin with and then spread.

Freedom is the intrinsic desire of each man, each woman – utter freedom, absolute freedom.

One just needs a little alertness to see and find out: Life is really a great cosmic laughter.

A woman is to be loved, not understood. That is the first understanding.

Falling in love, you remain a child; rising in love, you mature. By and by love becomes not a relationship, it becomes a state of your being. Not that you are in love – now you are love.

Each person comes into this world with a specific destiny – he has something to fulfill, some message has to be delivered, some work has to be completed.

Once you have started seeing the beauty of life, ugliness starts disappearing. If you start looking at life with joy, sadness starts disappearing.

A certain darkness is needed to see the stars.

Love is never a relationship; love is relating.

Life begins where fear ends.

To give love, the first basic requirement is to have it.

When love flows with freedom there is beauty. When love flows with dependence there is ugliness.

In the space of no-mind, truth descends like light.

I live my life based on 2 principles. One, I live as if today was my last day on earth. Two, I live today as if I am going to live forever.

Creativity is the greatest rebellion in existence.

Ladies in bunches always filled me with vague apprehension and a firm desire to be elsewhere.

There is no more desire to live past one’s time than to die before it.

That propaganda is good which leads to success, and that is bad which fails to achieve the desired result. It is not propaganda’s task to be intelligent, its task is to lead to success.

Though we may not desire to detect fraud, we must not, on that account, endeavor to be insensible of it, for, as cunning is a crime, so is duplicity a fault, and if men dread knaves, they also despise fools.

Love cannot in its very nature be peaceful or content. It is a restlessness, an unsatisfaction. I can grant a lasting love just as I can grant a lasting unsatisfaction; but the lasting love cannot be coupled with possession, for love is pain and desire and possession is easement and fulfilment.

To act out of desire is bondage. To act out of love is freedom.

If you desire praise or esteem, endeavor to merit it.

If the Great Spirit had desired me to be a white man he would have made me so in the first place. He put in your heart certain wishes and plans, and in my heart he put other and different desires. It is not necessary for eagles to be crows.
