“When your real, effortless, joyful grateful nature is realized, it will not be inconsistent with the ordinary activities of life.”

Peace is for the purification of one’s mind. Power is for the growth of the community. Having established the community with power, one should then establish supreme peace.

There are no impediments to meditation. The very thought of such obstacles is the greatest impediment.

The man who has the sense of the body being himself cannot possibly worship God as formless; whatever worship he makes will be worship in form alone, not otherwise.

Thoughts come and go. Feelings come and go. Find out what it is that remains.

You are the Supreme Being, and yet thinking yourself to be separate from it, you strive to become united with it. What is stranger than this?

One should remain as a witness to whatever happens, adopting the attitude, ‘Let whatever strange things that happens happen, let us see!’ This should be one’s practice. Nothing happens by accident in the divine scheme of things.

Peace can reign only where there is no disturbance, and disturbance is due to thoughts that arise in the mind.

The search “Who am I” ends in the annihilation of the illusory “I” and the Self which remains over will be as clear as a gooseberry in the palm of one’s hand.

The degree of freedom from unwanted thoughts and the degree of concentration on a single thought are the measures to gauge spiritual progress.

Even in intake, the one steadfast thought is said to be the natural state. Nirvikalpa Samadhi will result when the sensory objects are not present.

If the ego rises, all else will also rise; if it subsides, all else will also subside.

Under whatever name or form we worship It, It leads us on to knowledge of the nameless, formless Absolute. Yet, to see one’s true Self in the Absolute, to subside into It and be one with “It, this is the true Knowledge of the Truth.

There is no greater mystery than this, that we keep seeking reality though in fact we are reality.

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

Knowing the Self, God is known.

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