is serene and quiet. It is in the quiet mind that happiness manifests.”
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

“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

“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.”
