Don't postpone your happiness until some perfect future date. Be happy now, tomorrow will take care of itself.
Know that humiliation does not weaken you, it strengthens you. The more egoistic you are, the more humiliation you feel. When you are childlike and have a greater sense of kinship, you do not feel humiliated. When you are steeped in love with the Existence, with the Divine, nothing whatsoever can humiliate you.
Effort is the key in the relative; effortlessness is the key to the Absolute.
Don’t keep your head turned backwards. Look ahead and move on. You are trying to walk forward with your head turned backward. This is why you feel miserable. Just let go!
There is nothing for you to take away from this world. You have come to give.
What puts you on the road is your desire to enjoy. What brings you home is being in love
Want, or desire, arises when you are not happy. Have you seen this? When you are very happy then there is contentment. Contentment means no want.
Rise above the dualities, the opposites. See this whole world as the bubbles on the surface of water. See people as bubbles on the surface of the Brahman, of the Infinity. . . Water bubbles up, rises up. Like that, everybody is rising and having their own games and plays and dissolving back into the Infinite.
Don't focus on what others want. See what it is that you want. When you stop looking inside and look at others, that is when you miss the boat.
Worrying doesn't make any difference, but working does and spirituality gives one the strength to work
Never underestimate your life. It is most precious. You never know what talents are hidden within you and what you have to offer to the world!
The wave uniting with its depth is yoga.
For success in life you need yukti (skill) and shakti (strength), Bhakti (Devotion ) and Mukti (Freedom).
A child does not try to know the mother, it simply has faith in her. In the same way, having faith in the Divine is the source of the greatest strength.
One whose mind is turned inwards is ever in bliss
Wake up and realize this is all made up of thoughts, just thoughts. Your appreciation of beauty is a thought; your aversion to an object that is ugly is a thought. Your craving or aversion is nothing but a passing thought in the mind. Realize this is just a thought and you will be free.
Life is nothing to be very serious about. Life is a ball in your hands to play with. Don’t hold on to the ball.
If you are bombarded by so many thoughts in solitude, you are in ignorance. If you are calm even amidst a crowd then you are in knowledge.
No emotions are bad. But if they stay for long, then it is bad. Emotions should be like a line drawn on the surface of water.
Do not try to correct the mind. Trying to correct the mind is like trying to correct the waves in the ocean. Can you stop the waves in the ocean? If you want to see an ocean without waves you only have to dive deeper. When you dive deep inside you will experience the stillness of the ocean. And if it is all frozen that is enlightenment.
