Ego is an immature stage of development for humans, and that's what it will be recognized as when the consciousness changes on the planet. Children will develop an ego and quickly outgrow it. That's very different from developing an ego and being stuck with it for the rest of your life.

The Jnana Sankalini Tantra teaches us that the vast magnitude of the entire universe resides within the relatively small human body.

As a human being it is just my nature to enjoy and share philosophy. I do this in the same way that some birds are eagles and some doves, some flowers lilies and some roses.

To slight a single human being, is to slight those divine powers and thus to harm not only that being but with him, the whole world.

Humanity happy, I get benefit. Humanity in state of trouble, or violence, I cannot escape from that.

Many say that life entered the human body by the help of music, but the truth is that life itself is music.

You cannot count on the physical proximity of someone you love, all the time. A seed that sprouts at the foot of its parent tree remains stunted until it is transplanted.

Our great whirling planet, our human individuality, were not given to us merely that we might exist for a time and then vanish into nothingness, but that we might question what it is all about. To live without understanding the purpose of life is foolish, a waste of time. The mystery of life surrounds us; we were given intelligence in order to solve it.

Make sure your goals are dynamic, that is to say, point toward an activity that you are engaged in and through which you are connected to other human beings as well as to the whole.

We rarely think and act consciously. Animals have no choice and simply live by instinct. On the contrary, human beings should be conscious of whatever they are doing, because they do have a choice, discrimination, intelligence, and rationality. How to carry out all activities in consciousness? Spiritual life is a conscious lifestyle and it begins with conscious breathing. If you watch your breath and you are conscious of each inhalation and exhalation, you will be conscious of each thought and activity. Breath is constantly going in and out in the background of all your activities. If you are conscious of your breath, and if you constantly watch your breath, you will succeed in being conscious of all your thoughts and all your activities.
