"Follow the path that leads to understanding. Only then, will you illuminate the way for others. Once you open your mind and gain knowledge, truth, you'll leave the darkness and enter into the light of wisdom."
"Enlightenment is tuning our consciousness to music of the universe."
"The people who enlighten us are the ones who tell us their secrets."
"If you take an objection in the 'relative', it is intellectual rationalism. 'We' don't have intellectual rationalism. 'We' are abuddha (do not have intellect) in the 'relative', and we are a Gnani [the enlightened one] in the 'real'."
"The one who becomes free from all kinds of beggary is bestowed the state of a 'Gnani' [the enlightened one]."
"Light is what we are called to preach. Our lord and saviour called himself light of the world."
"We' (the Gnani Purush, the enlightened one) are by nature, non-interfering. If 'we', ourselves are non-interfering, then how can interfering people around 'us' can touch 'us'? All interferences go away in 'our' [the Gnani's] presence. What problems can the one that dwells in the Self [the Soul], have? The worldly life does not hinder the one who dwells in the Self."
"The worldly [spiritual] science is methodic (kramic) in nature; one progresses "step by step; one has to ascent one step at a time. Whereas this here, is Akram Vignan, a path of step-less spiritual science; it is a science that has arisen after 10 Lac (a million) years. In this path, one travels in only an 'elevator'. There is no effort to climb stairs here. Thereafter, one is constantly in the uninterrupted bliss of the Self (samadhi). There is constant bliss amidst mental affliction (aadhi), internal suffering (vyadhi) and externally induced affliction (oopadhi)."
"The one, whose worldly entanglements have gone, is called the 'Absolute Person' (Sampoorna Purush)."

"The building blocks of meditation are relaxation and concentration. If you cannot relax, you cannot meditate. If you cannot concentrate, you cannot meditate. No exceptions."
"Letting go of the past does not mean that we should try to forget everything that has happened to us and not learn anything from our previous thinking patterns and actions. Letting go simply means that we do not allow the past to control our current thoughts and actions."
"The upside of approaching spiritual practices like an experiment is that there can be no failure, only different outcomes. Whatever happens, you will learn about yourself and your relationship with the divine along the way."
"Simplicity is everywhere in nature, and meditation is a natural state. Meditation is a state of peaceful equilibrium, the fourth state of consciousness, and is always available to every single human being."
"In its purest form the term meditation means two things; (1) the state of meditation, which resembles deep dreamless sleep while awake, and, (2) the practices that lead to the state, usually a combination of relaxation and concentration techniques."
"History has taught us that when understanding and tolerance are fostered, people of different faiths can live together in harmony. Regrettably, history has also taught us the opposite, that such states of equilibrium can quickly degenerate and succumb to rhetoric of anger and fear, sometimes leading to violence and even war. A balance of mutual respect and tolerance needs to be maintained through good works. Interrelations need continual nurturing."
"Stress - free moments certainly exist, but that is the extent of it. People, who have bought into the idea of a stress - free life, believe they should be happy and positive all the time. They have been sold a damaging falsehood. As the first sentence in M. Scott Peck's The Road Less Travelled famously said: 'Life is difficult. Learning to deal effectively with life's difficulties, learning to manage the inevitable stress of life is attainable, while eliminating stress is not."
"Relaxation is, a state between waking and sleeping, where the body is completely still and the mind is allowed to flow freely from one thought to another, or alternately, a state in which the mind becomes inadvertently calm."
