"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]!"


"Keep one goal only and that is 'to know thy Self [Soul]'. Do not be insistent about 'I want to do this and do that'. Whatever happens, at whatever time, is correct."


"Our talk is right and the other person's talk is wrong, however if a conflict occurs, then it is wrong."

It is possible to attain whatever energies you want by asking for them."

God lives in every living being of the world, that means if you oppress any living being or cause misery to them, then adharma (unrighteousness, irreligion) will occur.
