Happiest is he who expects no happiness from others. Love delights and glorifies in giving, not receiving. So learn to love and give, and not to expect anything from others.

To attain union is so impossibly difficult because it is impossible to become what you already are! Union is nothing other than knowledge of oneself as the Only One.

God alone is real, nothing matters but love for God.

I love everybody. Each one plays the role they have to play, but in the spiritual arena there are people who are even closer to me than that.

But such a tiny and trivial thing as an umbrella can deprive you of the sight of such a stupendous fact as the sun.

If we understand and feel that the greatest act of devotion and worship to God is not to harm any of His beings, we are loving God.

Life becomes meaningful and all activities are purposeful only on the basis of faith in the enduring reality.

The entire life of the personal ego is continually in the grip of wanting, i.e., an attempt to seek fulfilment of desires through things that change and vanish. But there can be no real fulfilment through the transient things.

Give up all forms of parrotry. Start practicing whatever you truly feel to be true and justly to be just. Do not make a show of your faith and beliefs. You have not to give up your religion, but to give up clinging to the husk of mere ritual and ceremony. To get to the fundamental core of Truth underlying all religions, reach beyond religion.

Divine desperateness is the beginning of spiritual awakening because it gives rise to the aspiration for God-realisation.

Art when inspired with love leads to higher realms, and that art will open for you the inner life.

The purpose of life is to realize God within ourselves. This can be done even whilst attending to our worldly duties.

Worry is the product of feverish imagination working under the stimulus of desires... It is a necessary resultant of attachment to the past or to the anticipated future, and it always persists in some form or other until the mind is completely detached from everything.

The Infinite alone exists and is Real; the finite is passing and false. The Original Whim in the Beyond caused the apparent descent of the Infinite into the realm of the seeming finite. This is the Divine Mystery and Divine Game in which Infinite Consciousness forever plays on all levels of finite consciousness.

Whether men soar to outer space or dive to the bottom of the deepest ocean they will find themselves as they are, unchanged, because they will not have forgotten themselves nor remembered to exercise the charity of forgiveness.

The Avatar does not as a rule interfere with the working out of human destinies. He will do so only in times of grave necessity - when He deems it absolutely necessary from His all-encompassing point of view. For a single alteration in the planned and imprinted pattern in which each line and dot is interdependent, means a shaking up and a re-linking of an unending chain of possibilities and events.

All illusion comes and goes, but the soul remains unchanged. What is meant by God-realization is to actually experience this important thing that the soul is eternal.

God alone is real, and all else is illusion.

The experiences which drugs induce are as far removed from Reality as is a mirage, from water. No matter how much you pursue the mirage, you will never quench your thirst, and the search for Truth through drugs must end in disillusionment.

When the mind soars in pursuit of the things conceived in space...it pursues emptiness; but when man dives deep within himself, he experiences the fullness of existence.

God has to be temporarily cruel in order to be permanently kind.

Suffering is essential for the elimination of the ego, just as it was necessary for you to scrub and scrub in order to wash the stain from my coat.

Irrespective of doubts and convictions, and for the Infinite Love I bear for one and all, I continue to come as the Avatar, to be judged time and again by humanity in its ignorance, in order to help man distinguish the Real from the false.
