Only when the mind has ceased all finding, grasping, and then settled down in that silence

The Upanishads say that the Truth is something which is far and yet so near

If it is a memory, it is something in the past, and if it is something in the past, it cannot be the reality that is always the present. 

If we are looking for something infinite, then we are starting from ‘I don’t know’. 

If we start our spiritual journey saying ’I know’

We can’t live on our past heritage alone; we must look at the now.

It is what we don’t know that inspires us to seek and move forward.

The iron-monger’s bellows also breathe, but if there’s no love in one’s heart, there’s no point. 

The Kasturi, the treasure is right within us. Where are we searching?  Just turn inwards!

What you are supposed to do tomorrow, do it today; and what you need to do today, do it now!’ Postponing things always ends in failure.

When we usually say Samadhi, we mean ‘Savikalpa samadhi’ where there are no vikalpas – where everything is quiet.

When they say ‘Maya’, what they mean is that it is not permanent.
