Life is there to attain Liberation while going through the experience of it. It should not be ‘above normal’ or ‘below normal, ’ it should be ‘normal’.

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.

One who experiences prasantta [blissful happiness] within, he will have prasantta [blissful happiness] externally. The mind is a mirror (reflection) for the external.

The law of nature is such that everyone gets happiness according to their needs. The ‘tender’ that everyone (of us) fills out, is indeed fulfilled.

The ‘egoism’ that is used to hurt others will hurt one’s own self. The ‘egoism’ that is used to give happiness to others becomes cause for his own happiness.

A person who thinks he is right, causes great hurt to others and that is why hurt will come to him. A person who believes ‘I am right’, causes a lot of pain to others.

Without the 'applied awareness' of the Soul, 'happiness' cannot arise.

Your success in worldly life (sansar) is in proportion to your faith and truthfulness!

To say I had some pent-up anger would be like saying Britney Spears had minor impulse-control issues.

Blood is thicker than water, and so is diarrhea

Improvisation is too good to leave to chance.

Still, instead of trusting what their own minds tell them, men have as a rule a weakness for trusting others who pretend to supernatural sources of knowledge.

It's much more fun to play something you're nothing like than what you are... It's much easier to hide yourself in a character.

It's a melting pot, southern Africa. You find these cultural collisions that result in art and music, and it's pretty amazing.

You can't jam change down the American people's throat.

no subject of study is more important than reading…all other intellectual powers depend on it.

One compliment can keep me going for a whole month.

There is but one genuine love potion - consideration.
