You know that you have fully experienced love when you turn into love - that is the spiritual goal of life.

You can wish for things in the future to be different, but in this moment you have to accept things as they are.

I went to medical school because I wanted to ask the big questions. Do we have a soul? Does God exist? What happens after death?

If you want to reach a state of bliss, then go beyond your ego and the internal dialogue.

Knowledge about God is of two kinds, direct and indirect. Indirectly we can read scriptures, listen to sermons, consult authorities, and from these sources build a reasonable case that God exists. But such a God transmits no love to Earth. Therefore nothing substitutes for gyana, which is direct knowledge of the divine. Instead of having thoughts about God, you share God's own thoughts. Her thoughts can only be about Herself.

Success, wealth, good health and nurturing relationships are by-products of happiness, not the cause.
