“Surrender is to give oneself up to the original cause of one’s being.”

It is said that the heart is in the microcosm just as the orb of the sun in the macrocosm. The mind in Sahasrara is like the disc of the moon.

Misery does not exist in reality but only in mere imagination.

The self is known to every one but not clearly. You always exist.

Peace is the inner nature of humankind. If you find it within yourself, you will then find it everywhere.

To the extent we behave with humility, to that extent good will result.

If a person realises his position and stays in his own self, things that are to happen will happen. Things that are not to happen will not happen. The shakti that is in the world, is only one. All these troubles arise if we think that we are separate from that shakti.

No one succeeds without effort. Those who succeed owe their success to perseverance.

Liberation exists- and you will never be liberated.

In the Heart’s cavity, the sole Brahman as an ever-persisting ‘I’ shines direct in the form of the Self. Into the Heart enter thyself, with mind in search or in deeper plunge. Or by restraint of life-movement be firmly poised in the Self.

Remove the Ego and Avidya (Ignorance) is gone. Look for it, the ego vanishes and the real Self alone remains.

Instead of indulging in mere speculation, devote yourself here and now to the search for the Truth that is ever within you.

The self cannot be found in books. You have to find it for yourself, within yourself.

If the mind falls asleep, awaken it. Then if it starts wandering, make it quiet. If you reach the state where there is neither sleep nor movement of mind, stay still in that, the natural (real) state.

Your true nature is that of infinite spirit. The feeling of limitation is the work of the mind.

All activities and events that a body is to go through are determined at the time of conception.

We are in our Self. We are not in the world.

People have said things about me, and wrote and criticized me about things in the past, but it goes in one ear and out the other.

My kids idea of a hard life is to live in a house with only one phone.

I definitely got into a lot of fights when I was a kid. I never understood it. I was one of those quiet kids. I never picked with no one.

I’m not the ‘rappity-rapper’ type dude. All my music is really true. I can’t just rap about nothing, just metaphors and putting words together. I can’t just smash out material like other guys. I just want my albums to be crazy every time I drop one.

It is our relation to circumstances that determine their influence over us. The same wind that blows one ship into port may blow another off shore.

One can unite the French only under the threat of danger. One cannot simply bring together a nation that produces 265 kinds of cheese.

One night love affair, pretending we don’t care, and now we’re left with nothing.

We are made up of two contrasting ideals: Love And Fear. Pick One and Live.
