"If a person does five samayiks (introspective meditation) he will say, 'I did five'- and this is how he will taste the sweetness of the subtle-pride of doership. Actually what he should say is, 'it was due to God's grace that I was able to do five samayik'. He should not taste the sweetness of subtle pride of doership."

"We live here for five to fifty years (in this world, in the relative) and we are searching for beautiful houses there, while where we have to live permanently (moksha; in the Real, Self), there is no work being done for it; and no one is even inquiring about that (place). The world is baseless/disorderly. 'Do something for here and do something for there'. We are not saying not to do anything for here. Do both. Don't you have two hands?"

"The mind that does inner intentions (bhaav-mann) is the 'charge' mind. The mind that is getting exhausted (dravya-mann) is the 'discharge' mind. Bhaav-mann creates the worldly life. Dravya-mann brings an end to the worldly life. When egoism goes away, bhaav-mann vanishes."
"All day long, one continues to suffer sweet or bitter fruits. This life has been attained for the purpose of experiencing!"

"What is absolute humility (param vinaya)? It is on the one who has not disrespected anyone in the slightest! Absolute humility lies where there is no dispute, no difference of opinion or any law. Law is bondage."
