“By whatever path you go, you will have to lose yourself in the one. Surrender is complete only when you reach the stage `Thou art all’ and `Thy will be done’.”

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 self is known to every one but not clearly. You always exist.

Peace is the inner nature of humankind. If you find it within yourself, you will then find it everywhere.

To the extent we behave with humility, to that extent good will result.

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.

No one succeeds without effort. Those who succeed owe their success to perseverance.

Liberation exists- and you will never be liberated.

In the Heart’s cavity, the sole Brahman as an ever-persisting ‘I’ shines direct in the form of the Self. Into the Heart enter thyself, with mind in search or in deeper plunge. Or by restraint of life-movement be firmly poised in the Self.

The history of the world shows that peoples and societies do not have to pass through a fixed series of stages in the course of development.

I feel like I have reached the stage where I can no longer produce for my club, my manager, and my teammates. I had a poor year, but even if I had hit .350, this would have been my last year. I was full of aches an pains and it had become a chore for me to play. When baseball is no longer fun, it’s no longer a game.

I don’t collaborate. You’re born alone, you die alone, you get on stage alone.

Trendy is the last stage before tacky.

Anything can change, because the smartphone revolution is still in the early stages.

I was five years old; I got addicted to being on stage. I felt like it was the most wonderful place on Earth, performing in front of an audience, who in this case were a bunch of classmates, kids my age.

I feel like I have reached the stage where I can no longer produce for my club, my manager, and my teammates.

If you’re going to sing on stage, wear lip stain.
