Curb your senses and your mind and see the Lord within your heart.

The fire of Knowledge reduces all works to ashes.

I love acting. I'm able to express myself and not get made fun of for it.

Do not look at anybody in terms of friend or foe, brother or cousin; do not fritter away your mental energies in thoughts of friendship or enmity. Seeking the Self everywhere, be amiable and equal-minded towards all, treating all alike.

Having realized Atman . . . one is freed from the jaws of death.

Space seems broken and diverse because of the many forms in it. Remove the forms and pure space remains. So, too with the Omnipresent Self.

The treasure I have found cannot be described in words, the mind cannot conceive of it.

He who sees himself in all beings, by means of his true understanding, first attains unity with all and then realizes the eternal Brahman.

Atman is not born, nor does It die. It is not killed nor is It the killer. It is not bound nor does It cause anyone's bondage. It is neither liberated nor the giver of Liberation. The jiva, in reality, is the Supreme Self; all else besides is unreal.

The man endowed with perfect Self-Knowledge is not entangled by his action; but the man devoid of this Knowledge enters samsara.

You never identify yourself with the shadows cast by your body, or with its reflection, or with the body you see in a dream or in your imagination. Therefore you should not identify yourself with this living body either.

All the manifested world of things and beings are projected by imagination upon the substratum which is the Eternal All-pervading Vishnu, whose nature is Existence-Intelligence; just as the different ornaments are all made out of the same gold.

The knower of Atman transcends grief.

Even after the Truth has been realised, there remains that strong, obstinate impression that one is still an ego - the agent and experiencer. This has to be carefully removed by living in a state of constant identification with the supreme non-dual Self. Full Awakening is the eventual ceasing of all the mental impressions of being an ego.

Who but the Atman is capable of removing the bonds of ignorance, passion and self-interested action?

Those who are absorbed in Brahman become immortal.

By the raft of Knowledge alone will you be borne over all sin.

Like the appearance of silver in mother of pearl, the world seems real until the Self, the underlying reality, is realized.

The purity attained by the embodied being through the Knowledge of God is the supreme purity. The attainment of Self-Knowledge, by means of yoga, is the highest dharma.

Endued with evenness of mind, one casts off, in this very life, both good deeds and evil deeds.

The wise of olden times, endowed with firm resolution, spoke of Knowledge as the means to realize the Highest Good. Thus, by means of pure Knowledge, a man is liberated from all sins.

Desiring what, and for whose sake, are you wearying out the body?

As gold purified in a furnace loses its impurities and achieves its own true nature, the mind gets rid of the impurities of the attributes of delusion, attachment and purity through meditation and attains Reality.
