“The Self is here and now, it is the only Reality. There is nothing else.”

Love is verily the heart of all religions.

The seat of Realization is within and the seeker cannot find it as an object outside him. That seat is bliss and is the core of all beings. Hence it is called the Heart.

Remain still, with the conviction that the Self shines as everything yet nothing, within, without, and everywhere.

There is nothing new to gain. On the other hand a man must lose his ignorance. That is all.

Guru, God and Self are One.

The deeply learned ones know the mind as the directly expressed meaning of the supreme knowledge. The heart is the meaning aimed at. The Supreme is none other than the heart.

The macrocosm is in its entirety in the body. The body is in its entirety in the heart. Therefore heart is the summarised form of all the macrocosm.

Your own Self-realization is the greatest service you can render the world.

In relationship there are always two types of person: one weaker and the other stronger one. It’s never easier to live being as weaker one!

The hardest goodbyes are the ones you never got to say.

Whether you do something or decide to do nothing, either way, you are making a moral choice. And I hope people make the right one.

Life just doesn’t care about our aspirations, or sadness. It’s often random, and it’s often stupid and it’s often completely unexpected, and the closures and the epiphanies and revelations we end up receiving from life, begrudgingly, rarely turn out to be the ones we thought.

One’s weakness should not ever be revealed.

When one is consumed by the sorrows of life, three things give him relief: offspring, a wife, and the company of the Lord’s devotees.
