“The moment I saw a woman, I fell in love with God.”
“Mind and heart should not run like two parallel railway tracks.”
“Love softens you up and almost erases your ego, and to that extent it feels like heaven, hence our constant attraction to love.”
“Buddha said, ‘Life is suffering’, and I say, ‘Life is suffering ONLY if you do not understand life’.”
“Drop your pursuit of pleasure and the Truth is yours for the taking.”
“‘I love you’ is one of the most deceptive declarations that one can make.”
“The darkness is inside. And we keep shining the light outside.”
“When you do not search for happiness how can you be unhappy?”
“I feel physically, mentally, intellectually, emotionally, morally, spiritually drained.”
“Truth starts speaking when the mind falls silent. Actually, the Truth is already speaking but we can’t hear it due to the noise being created by the mind.”
“The truth spills over into all our lies.”
“A lie is also a kind of truth.”
“Those who cannot lie are the most annoying people.”
“Love is the ultimate illusion. We want to believe others love us and we love them. But, if we examine our own hearts we will see therein that our love for others is admixed with our own egoic needs, and then we understand that similar is the case with others love for us. Ratnakar realised this and became Valmiki.”
“The problem with visiting temples is that you start to hope, believe and expect that ab ki baar Bhagavan mereko lottery jithvaake rahegaa.”
“The religious quest or the want for enlightenment is useful ONLY if it makes you realize that ultimately that, too, is nothing but our inner need for happiness, fulfillment and love directed from the world towards God or Truth, and as long as the need exists, wherever it is directed, it will lead to suffering. But, paradoxically enough, one is more likely to realize this when one hopes to fulfill one’s need through God or Truth than through the world. So, ultimately, one has to tell oneself that the ‘need’ itself is the illusion because nothing can fulfil it – neither the world nor God/Truth – because the ‘need’ is based on one’s false identification with the body-mind on account of which one will always ‘need’ something or the other because body-mind is finite. So, unless you understand that you yourself are the Truth, you cannot get rid of the ‘need’, paradoxical as it may sound. So, hopefully we, too, can one day declare like Mansur al-Hallaj did, Ana al-Haqq or I am the Truth.”
