"Physical action [paudgalik kriya] will give only worldly fruits; it will not go in vain. If you plant sugar cane, you will eat sweet food and if you plant bitter gourd, you will eat bitter food. Plant whichever taste appeals to you and if you want liberation [Moksha], then don't plant anything. Stop sowing seeds altogether."

"This world is not without causes. There is Moksha [ultimate liberation] when one's causes stops. There is Moksha where everyone's 'claim' is completed. Without a cause, effect does not happen."

"Don't speak of action [effect]. Don't serve the action [effect]. It is a result. But serve the causes [do the causes]. Nothing will be achieved unless you serve the cause."

"At times one remains faithful to a cause only because its opponents do not cease to be insipid."

"Before the effect one believes in different causes than one does after the effect."

"I would like to break out of this dark, brooding image, cause I'm actually not like that at all."
