“Take no notice of the ego and its activities, but see only the light behind.”

The enemy hates the ego, which the seeker wants to kill; thus, like the anvil to the goldsmith, he is actually a friend.

Have faith in God and in yourself; that will cure all. Hope for the best, expect the best, toil for the best and everything will come right for you in the end.

There is no Truth. There is only the truth within each moment.

He who thinks he is the doer is also the sufferer.

Actions themselves form no bondage. Bondage is only the false belief, “I am the do-er.”

Does one require proof of one’s own being? Only remain aware of yourself and all else will be known.

There is a state when words cease and silence prevails.

Unless one is happy, one cannot bestow happiness on others.

Concentration of the mind is in a way common to both Knowledge and Yoga. Yoga aims at union of the individual with the universal, the Reality. This Reality cannot be new. It must exist even now, and it does exist.

Happiness is relative and is better called pleasure or satisfaction.

You are already That which you seek.

The Sage has no thinking mind and therefore there are no ‘others’ for him.

As you are, so is the world.

Meditation is sticking to one thought. That single thought keeps away other thoughts; distraction of mind is a sign of its weakness; by constant meditation it gains strength.

The ego’s phenomenal existence is transcended when you dive into the source from where the `I’-thought rises.

If you hold this feeling of ‘I’ long enough and strongly enough, the false ‘I’ will vanish leaving only the unbroken awareness of the real, immanent ‘I’, consciousness itself.

We try more to profit from always remembering the obvious than from grasping the esoteric.

Freedom means the power to act by soul guidance, not by the compulsions of desires and habits. Obeying the ego leads to bondage; obeying the soul brings liberation.

The only reason why we are always thinking of our own ego is that we have to live with it more continuously than with anyone else’s.

In the music industry, there’s often a lot of egos and people aren’t always very supportive, but we cheer each other on and we push each other to be better.

Don’t let your ego get too close to your position, so that if your position gets shot down, your ego doesn’t go with it.

The perfection preached in the gospels never yet built an empire. Every man of action has a strong dose of egotism, pride, hardness, and cunning.

Spend more time listening to your heart and less time listening to your ego.

To the ego mind, surrender means giving up. To the spiritual mind, surrender means giving in and receiving.
