What are the traits of an awakened person? First, his comings and goings are
only as per his wish. Second, no reason of the outside world can influence him
and third, whatever he is once determined to do, he breathes only when it is
brought to fruition.
Quotations

effort to accommodate the past or future in the present.
Nature has not bestowed any such power to a human being that allows him to

put in efforts himself.
The root cause of all the sorrows of life is desire. Desire arises by looking at
things around you. Meaning, the one who keeps his eyes fixed only on himself,
will never be unhappy.
What are we? We are the medium between God and the World. If I elaborate
further, then we are the screens whose only duty is to bring the producer's film
to its viewers.
