The highest state is laughter.

Master of the universe is every man's potential insight, cosmic potential.

Being is the basis of thinking, thinking is the basis of action, action is the basis of achievement and achievement is the basis of fulfillment.

Human concepts, no matter how grand they may appear, have limitations.

The Self of everyone, the Atma of everyone, the transcendental field of reality of everyone, is the same in everyone. Whether the body calls itself an American, German, Indian or Chinese, it doesn't matter.

Know what you want, decide when you want it, figure your plan of action, follow through on it, and never doubt.

The secret of success is conviction and persistence.

Naturalness is the basis of effectiveness.

See the job, do the job, stay out of the misery.

Decide what you want and don't think of the intermediary conditions. When Nature works for us we should want what we want and Nature will work it out for us.

Art arises from the interaction of the mind and the heart.

The United States influences government and life everywhere else.

Meditation is making research into yourself, and into the subtler fields of activity. Day after day we culture our minds with the deep silence of our own Being. This is not the silence of a stone, but creative silence. We have to find it for ourselves. We decrease activity until silence becomes creative, and we sit in creative silence and close the gates of perception for insight into the content of life.

Just think of any negativity that comes to you as a raindrop falling into the ocean of your bliss. You may not always have an ocean of bliss, but think that way anyway and it will help it come. Doubting is not blissful and does not create happiness.

We do not think of life - we live it. We do not think of ourselves too much. We do not think of others too much... We just behave in a natural way.
