It's the fact that your body and your personality are not God. God is you. But you can't say you are God just as the ocean is all the waves, but you can't say one wave is the ocean. And so you manifest God in a way that you don't understand. Man himself is the image of God, but he doesn't see that image in himself. And you need to meditate, and there will come your answer, not looking in the mirror.

Creativity has three layers; the ultimate is the mystic: he lives in a climate of creativity. The poet, once in a while, brings some treasures from the beyond; the scientist, also very rarely, but whenever he can visit the ultimate he brings something precious to the world. But one thing is certain - mystic, scientist or poet, whatsoever comes into this world comes from the beyond. To bring the beyond is creativity. To bring the beyond into the known is creativity. To help God to be manifested in some form is creativity.

That which rises and sinks is made up of what it rises from. The finality of the universe is the God Arunachala. Meditating on Him or on the seer, the Self, there is a mental vibration 'I' to which all are reduced. Tracing the source of 'I', the primal 'I-I' alone remains over, and it is inexpressible. The seat of Realisation is within and the seeker cannot find it as an object outside him. That seat is bliss and is the core of all beings. Hence it is called the Heart. The only useful purpose of the present birth is to turn within and realise it. There is nothing else to do.

Without living Truth, God is nowhere.

Suffering is the way for Realization of God.

Love is the reflection of God's unity in the world of duality. It constitutes the entire significance of creation.

Man should tremble, the world should vibrate, all heaven should be deeply moved when the Son of God appears on the altar in the hands of the priest.

The scenery of mountains painted on the ever-changing azure canvas of the sky, the mysterious mechanism of the human body, the rose, the green grass carpet, the magnanimity of souls, the loftiness of minds, the depth of love - all these things remind us of a God who is beautiful and noble.

In vocal prayer we speak to God; in mental prayer he speaks to us. It is then that God pours Himself into us.

He who is persistent will realize God. So try your best to make meditation a regular experience in your life.

The style of God venerated in church, mosque, and synagogue seems completely different from the style of the natural universe.

God has created the world in play, as it were.

...the more a person becomes spiritually minded or advances towards God, the more tolerant he becomes and the less differentiation he sees.

You damned spirits! You can only do what the hand of God allows you to do.

Don't differentiate between guru and god.

Pray to God that your attachment to such transitory things as wealth, name, and creature comforts may become less and less every day.

Even faith in God is only a stage on the way. Ultimately you abandon all, for you come to something so simple that there are no words to express it.

If you want to see God, kill desires. Desires are in the mind. When you have a desire for something, don’t act on it and it will go away. If you desire to drink this cup of tea, don’t, and the desire for it will go away.

Creativity itself is divine. Creativity itself is godliness.

Man should earnestly desire the well-being of all God's creations and pray that we may have the strength to do so.

Longing gives you the power to bless. Bless the entire creation. For, the longing in you is God.

Allah(God) is the greatest friend.

The Self is you. It is everything. It is God. That is who you really are.
