"Settling into a new country is like getting used to a new pair of shoes. At first they pinch a little, but you like the way they look, so you carry on. The longer you have them, the more comfortable they become. Until one day without realizing it you reach a glorious plateau. Wearing those shoes is like wearing no shoes at all. The more scuffed they get, the more you love them and the more you can't imagine life without them."

"As a professional speaker, I speak rather quickly with enthusiastic energy and emotion. This doesn't always sit well with people who like to speak at a slower pace and need more time to process. What I have learned through years in this profession is that to be more effective I must adapt my pace to the comfort level of my audience. When I am speaking to academics, engineers, and doctors, I speak with a slower pace than the one which I use with sales people, customer services teams, or teenagers."

"What is the discovery of the Vitarags, the fully enlightened Ones? It is: 'the slightest violence is the sign of losing. Even the slightest negative thought about someone is the sign of losing. God resides in every living being; how can this hidden fact be known? The Vitarags have called the elemental Self (the Soul), the most hidden element."
Enlightenment
"What spreads the stench of bad conduct? It is the egoism and other 'flaws'."
Ego
"Rather than the one who gets angry, the world is more afraid of the one who does not get angry. Why? When anger ceases, grandeur of authority (pratap) arises. Such is the law of nature. Otherwise there would never be any protection for those who don't get angry. Anger provides protection during one's conduct in ignorance of the self."
Behavior
"The ego dies and the ego lives, but people say that 'I died'. That which takes birth and dies is the ego, and the Soul is in the same place (is always intact). Even Pudgal (the atoms that were charged; which are being discharged in the form of mind, body, speech) is in the same place. The issue is only of the ego in the middle."

"What is the sign of the person residing in his own Self as Pure Soul? Vitaragta [a state of freedom from all worldly attachments]!"

"Maya (deceit) means that one cannot see the nature of things as they are but sees them in a different form."
Perception
"To say, 'he lacks understanding', about someone is an open kashay (inner weakness of anger-pride-deceit-greed)."
Judgment
"In the ignorant state, there is a 'limit' for good qualities, it is known as the self-pride. Self-serving pride (swa-maan) is the limit of virtues in the realm of ignorance."
Ego
"You have a habit of having an 'underhand', and that is why you get a boss. Otherwise, no one is your boss and no one is your underhand; such is the world."
Behavior
"To be unattached in every phase of one's life is indeed full enlightened bliss of the Self (Purna samadhi)!"
