He doesn’t seek for happiness anywhere outside. The world cannot dictate to him...It makes no difference to him because he has discovered the fundamental source of all joy as the atma swaroopa.

“To attain Brahma Nirvana...you must have this quality of “sarva bhoota hite rta”...ever-devoted to the happiness and welfare of all beings...that qualification is there - you have to be unselfish…Loka samasta sukhino bhavantu. What greater prayer can you have?”

“When you come to discover that Brahma gyana, your existence itself is a blessing to the world. You need not do anything. Just be.”

“Tat twam asi. Nobody can give it to you. Nobody can take it away from you. You have to know it yourself. And, once you discover that truth within yourself, you discover that the same divinity is equally present in every being in the universe.”

 “The whole universe exists in that divinity alone – so also you and I. So stop worrying – the train is moving. Unload the luggage. Relax.”

"…a very famous verse (Verse 10)…to be like a lotus leaf…staying in water…yet it remains untouched by water…So, similarly…it is a slow, gradual process of detaching myself from the various layers of the personality…the more I am indentified with my true nature, this false identity will…fall away.”

“Karma yogis perform action…having given up all attachments…For self-purification karma yoga is done.”

“Vedanta says unless you tackle the root cause and that is avidya…kama and karma will continue. Ignorance breeds desires. Desire, satisfied, breeds more desires…”
