- Hindu is a geographical identity, or at the most a cultural one, not a religion. There is no set of beliefs that everyone has to adhere to.
- The most beautiful moments in life are moments when you are expressing your joy, not when you are seeking it.”
- If you open up your body, mind and emotions, your life will be pretty good. If you open up your energy system, it will become magical.
- People call books holy, but they are yet to realise that life is holy.
- “I want to change you”, that is not a revolution. “I am willing to change”, now this is a revolution.
- The sign of intelligence is that you are constantly wondering. Idiots are always dead sure about every damn thing they are doing in their life.”
- A human is not a being; he is a becoming. He is an ongoing process – a possibility. For this possibility to be made use of, there is a whole system of understanding the mechanics of how this life functions and what we can do with it, which we refer to as yoga.”
- Faith can move mountains, but it freezes your mind
- Most of your desires are not really about yourself. You just picked them up from your social surroundings.
- When you have that, you dream of this and when you have this, you dream of that. Maybe you call it romantic, but it’s just plain stupidity. It destroys life.
- Responsibility means being able to respond to whatever situation you may face in your life.
- Modern science has its value in terms of utility, but it cannot open up existence to human experience.
- Most people are ego sensitive, not life sensitive.
- The fear is simply because you are not living with life, You are living in your mind.
- Till something becomes a reality in our life, if we talk about it, it amounts to lying. The whole world is lying to themselves and to everybody about God.
- When your happiness is dependant upon what is happening outside of you, constantly you live as a slave to the external situation.
- Just Desire the Hightest in Life. All Your Passions, direct them to the Highest. Even if you get Angry, direct it only towards Shiva. Even with your Passion, that’s the way to do it. Every bit of energy that you have, you expend it by making it into desire, passion, fear, anger, and many other things. May be these emotions are not in your hands for now, but channeling them in one direction is in your hands.
- The guru is someone who continuously punctures your ego, yet is your friend.
- The world is trying to do so many things. We’re trying to go to the moon, to Mars, but, fundamentally, I feel the most important thing is human consciousness, the quality of life here. How happy we are here simply depends on how we are within ourselves.
- If you ask a tree how he feels to know that he’s spreading his fragrance and making people happy, I don’t think a tree looks at it that way. I am just like that, and it is just my nature to be like this.”
- Too many people are hungry not because there is dearth of food. It is because there is dearth of love and care in human hearts.”
- If you resist change, you resist life.”
- Krishna says in the Gita, “The worst crime in the world is indecision
- Sex in the body is fine. Money in the wallet is fine. It is only a problem when they enter your mind.”
