“If a person realises his position and stays in his own self, things that are to happen will happen. Things that are not to happen will not happen. The shakti that is in the world, is only one. All these troubles arise if we think that we are separate from that shakti.”

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.

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

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.

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.

Pretexts are not wanting when one wishes to use them.

I will be everywhere you look but nowhere to be found and that will be my revenge.

If you feel stronger and good when the weather is sunny and weaker and bad when the weather is cloudy, then it means your willpower is not powerful yet!

I will never regret loving you just to lose you every moment was worth it even if it was only for a moment.

Lift the veil that obscures the heart, and there you will find what you are looking for.

An actor must interpret life, and in order to do so must be willing to accept all the experiences life has to offer.

Speak only that which will bring you honor.

When you really look for me you will see me instantly.
