“Whatever is destined not to happen will not happen, try as you may. Whatever is destined to happen will happen, do what you may to prevent it. This is certain. The best course, therefore, is to remain silent.”

See who is the subject; and this inquiry leads you to pure Consciousness beyond the subject.

Transforming yourself is a means of giving light to the whole world.

Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside.

Of all the thoughts that rise in the mind, the thought ‘I’ is the first thought.

Silence is truth. Silence is bliss. Silence is peace. And hence Silence is the Self.

The more you prune a plant, the more it grows. So too the more you seek to annihilate the ego, the more it will increase. You should seek the root of the ego and destroy it.

There is no mind to control if you realise the self. The mind having vanished, the self shines forth. In the realised man, the mind may be active or inactive, the self remains for him.

Realisation is our nature. It is nothing new to be gained. What is new cannot be eternal. Therefore there is no need for doubting if one would lose or gain the Self.

You have to ask yourself the question ‘Who am I?’ This investigation will lead in the end to the discovery of something within you which is behind the mind. Solve that great problem and you will solve all other problems.

Whatever is done lovingly, with righteous purity and with peace of mind, is a good action. Everything which is done with the stain of desire and with agitation filling the mind is classified as a bad action.

The life of action need not be renounced. If you meditate for an hour or two every day you can then carry on with your duties. If you meditate in the right manner then the current of mind induced will continue to flow even in the midst of your work.

Beyond the belief that something can be lost, there is nothing to lose.

The question ‘Who am I?’ is not really meant to get an answer, the question ‘Who am I?’ is meant to dissolve the questioner.

The state we call realization is simply being oneself, not knowing anything or becoming anything.

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 best part of my carreer is getting to meet so many different people, because I learn so much from everyone.

I can never forget that one of the most gifted, best educated nations in the world, of its own free will, surrendered its fate into the hands of a maniac.

My approach to the races hasn’t changed in my 20-year career. If I have the chance to attack and to pass, I do it, trying to get the best possible result.

I am very proud. It is always fun to win such a prize, to be chosen as Swedens best player a certain year.

Messi does not need his right foot, though. He only uses the left and he’s still the best in the world! Imagine if he also used his right foot. Then we would have serious problems!

The best advice I’ve ever got is to be yourself. Stay true to who you are and what you stand for and you’ll go far in life.

To be nobody-but-yourself – in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else – means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.

A disappointment is not generally an oversight. It might just be the best one can do the situation being what it is. The genuine error is to quit attempting.
