“Knowing the Self, God is known.”

Pleasure and pain are only aspects of the mind. Our essential nature is happiness.

Realisation is not acquisition of anything new nor is it a new faculty. It is only removal of all camouflage.

The very fact that we wish for liberation shows that freedom from all bondage is our real nature. It is not to be freshly acquired. All that is necessary is to get rid of the false notion that we are bound.

When the mind, one-pointed and fully focused, knows the supreme silence in the Heart, this is true learning.

Bliss is a thing which is always there and is not something which comes and goes. That which comes and goes is a creation of the mind.

The grace of the Guru is like an ocean. If one comes with a cup he will only get a cupful. It is no use complaining of the niggardliness of the ocean. The bigger the vessel the more one will be able to carry. It is entirely up to him.

Grace is within you. Grace is your self. Grace is not something to be acquired from others. If it is external, it is useless. All that is necessary is to know its existence is in you. You are never out of its operation.

We are always peace. To get rid of the idea that we are not peace is all that is required.

See what helps you to keep away all other thoughts and adopt that method for your meditation.

The end of all wisdom is love, love, love.

Suffering is the way for Realization of God.

Dive deep into the chambers of your heart. Find out the real, infinite ‘I’. Rest there peacefully for ever and become identical with the Supreme Self.

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

The enemy hates the ego, which the seeker wants to kill; thus, like the anvil to the goldsmith, he is actually a friend.

Have faith in God and in yourself; that will cure all. Hope for the best, expect the best, toil for the best and everything will come right for you in the end.

There is no Truth. There is only the truth within each moment.

Once again, we find ourselves back in the unknown – not in the idea of the unknown, but in the lived reality of it. It’s the mind humbled, on its knees, with bare feet and free of the known.

Time to move on, time to get going. What lies ahead I have no way of knowing. But under my feet, baby, grass is growing.

To the heart that knows contentment, every day is Thanksgiving.

O Lord, you have searched me and you know me.

Be still and know that I am God.

The whole world steps aside for the man who knows where he is going.

There’s no excuse for the young people not knowing who the heroes and heroines are or were.

Destiny is made known silently.
