Quotes

Devotion purifies the heart, discrimination illumines the intellect, and Self-awareness awakens you to your eternal potential.
As a puppet is moved by the puppeteer, so the outer life of an Enlightened One is governed by past karma. Unattached, He remains firmly established in the Self.
Recognise the pure Self amidst the noise/chaos of thoughts as the silent, knowing awareness.
Let kindness extend beyond humans to every creature that shares this world with us.
Surrender of the intellect means: use your mind to carry out the ajna, not to argue against it — even when the ajna defies all logic
Gandhiji never raised his fist nor his voice—he raised a nation. He showed that true strength does not shout; it simply keeps moving forward.
Places of solitude, pilgrimage, and worship are meant to encourage you to seek the divinity within.
As delusion fades, ‘I am the body’ softens into ‘The body is mine’, then into ‘It is only an association’, and finally the body is seen simply as an object of knowledge.
A healthy heart is free from the blockages of ego, insistence, hurt and hate.
Every now and then, check the purpose of your spiritual practices. Losing sight of the goal leaves you weak and less alert on the path.
