When salt mixes with water, it takes the form of water. In the same way samadhi or trance means the mind merging with the cosmic soul or God.
Mind alone is the cause of bondage and liberation for human beings. The mind attached to sense objects leads to bondage and that which is free of sense objects sets one free.
Only those who have learned the power of sincere and selfless contribution, experience life’s deepest joy: true fulfilment.
The sudden disappointment of a hope leaves a scar which the ultimate fulfillment of that hope never entirely removes.
-Thomas Hardy
If you seek to understand the whole universe you will understand nothing at all but seek to understand yourself and you will understand the whole universe.
A person’s freedom can be seen as being valuable in addition to his or her achievements.

God first created light, all men are born out of it. The whole world came out of a single spark; who is good and who is bad? The Creator is in the creation, and the creation in the Creator, He is everywhere…He who surrenders to Him gets to know Him. God is invisible, He cannot be seen. The Guru has granted me this sweet gift. My doubts are dispelled. I have seen the Pure with my own eyes.
