Quotes
All my quotes on life, spirituality, etc.
- As long as you depend upon external knowledge, confirmation or approval to decide your action, you are in bondage. Seek path from the voice within, remove your dependencies and become self sufficient. No one has become a _gyani_ by reading books alone, but by seeking the wisdom within.
- Are you really enlightened if day in and day out you are burning with the thoughts of the body and the visible world and devoid of inner peace?
- Day in and day out you think in terms of duality. Unless you allocate and dedicate time everyday to order your thoughts, how can you maintain the wisdom and experience of the nondual self?
- Without changing the way you think, you cannot change the way you live.
- Do not put a condition on happiness so that if the condition does not come to pass you remain bereft of happiness.
- After all being said and done, the world is simply filled with two types of views, opinions and mindset. One is the positive one and the other is the negative one. Your job is to side with positiveness since that is the way up while the other is the way down.
- To yourself and in your eyes, be a person who always choses what is right even for little things like what to eat, what to watch, etc.
- If you judge yourself by people's opinion and perception then you may misjudge yourself as people's judgement may be biased and misinformed. Judge yourself by the age old scriptures of the sages or through your right conscience and you may judge yourself better.
- Life is a journey of learning. You learn to live with content with your lot, you learn to accept and respect differing views, you learn to love others as if they are your own, you learn to live with equanimity and you learn to live with peace amidst all sorts of personal and social chaos. By living life with a learners attitude you emerge as a lotus from the depth of the mud.
- Criticism can hurt when you receive it for actions done with motives of obtaining certain outcome or reactions to your action rather than because the action was the right thing to be done. It cannot hurt when you receive it for doing the right thing that needed to be done. If your motives are right and actions are just, what does it matter what good or bad others have to say about it.
