“The thing to do is to concentrate on the seer and not on the seen, not on the objects, but on the Light which reveals them.”

God’s grace consists in the fact that He shines in the heart of every one as the Self; that power of grace does not exclude any one, whether good or otherwise.

The place where even the slightest trace of the ‘I’ does not exist, alone is Self.

Discover your undying Self and be immortal and happy.

Forgetfulness of your real nature is true death; remembrance of it is rebirth.

That which is not present in deep dreamless sleep is not real.

The experience of silence alone is the real and perfect knowledge.

To ask the mind to kill itself is like making the thief the policeman. He will go with you and pretend to catch the thief, but nothing will be gained. So you must turn inward and see where the mind rises from, and then it will cease to exist.

Those only are happy (I thought) who have their minds fixed on some object other than their own happiness.

All good things which exist are the fruits of originality.

I used to be a Catholic. I left because I object to conversion by concussion. If you don’t agree with what they teach, you get clobbered over the head until you do. All that does is change the shape of the head.

But even today, ninety per cent of the items covered by the word are forgettable objects in which cigarettes can be left to go stale.

The object of universities is not to make skillful lawyers, physicians or engineers. It is to make capable and cultivated human beings.

No one understood better than Stalin that the true object of propaganda is neither to convince nor even to persuade.

And as soon as any object exhibits sufficient cognitive function, those instincts kick in and we react as though we were interacting with another sentient human being.
