By one fact, the Self [Soul] is the creator [of new karma]. From another fact, the Self [Soul] is not the creator.

The worldly life means a market place of sensual pleasures. Worldly life means false (temporary) happiness all the time. And moksha (liberation) means permanent happiness all the time.

Believing happiness to be in the eternal thing is called the enlightened vision (samkit).

There is no happiness in what worldly people believe happiness in, there is happiness in what Gnani [the enlightened one] believes the happiness in. What people regard as happiness is not happiness.

Things do not give unhappiness, ignorance (of one’s real Self) does.

Neurosis is just a high-class word for whining.

I live in a constant state of hyperbole.

My girlfriend said, Emo, I'm seeing another man. I said, Well, try rubbing your eyes or something.

I hope and pray that despite an unhealed past full of atrocities and deep divisions in the present, God can and will make "the distant near" and a "brother of the stranger" in America's future.
