“Wise is he who has learned to discriminate truth from untruth and who is not disturbed by the past or by what he imagines will occur in the future. Such a man understands that past, present, and future, are merely realities created by the human mind, which is frail and weak.”

“Having a tranquil mind, the man of equanimity sits in a calm, still posture. He walks with full confidence, without any fear or uncertainty. He speaks with clarity of mind in a straightforward way.”

“Action or duty performed is visible, but the profound knowledge that helps one perform skillful duties is inner action and is invisible. Long before the action is performed outwardly, it is performed subtly in the inner world. The source of action in the inner world is the pure reason of buddhi. So mastery of invisible action in the subtle world is called buddhi yoga, and action that is skillfully performed in the external world is called karma yoga.”

“…if one wants to live in harmony with the law of the universe, he should learn to lead his life by living all selflessly.”

“When a sadhaka has a burning desire to attain freedom, he learns to light the fire of knowledge. He bathes in that fire, and all his worldly desires are burned to ashes. The desire for tranquility alone remains.”
