Consciousness is evolving throughout the universe in billions of forms. So even if we didn't make it, this wouldn't matter on cosmic scale. No gain in consciousness is ever lost, so it would simply express itself through some other form. But the very fact that I am speaking here and you are listening or reading this is a clear sign that the new consciousness is gaining a foothold on the planet.

Things and conditions can give you pleasure but they cannot give you joy- joy arises from within.

When you lose touch with yourself, you lose yourself in the world.

I sometimes say to people, "I am a window frame - no more. The window frame is not that important. What is important is the light that comes through the window.

Your unhappiness ultimately arises not from the circumstances of your life but from the conditioning of your mind.

The equivalent of external noise is the inner noise of thinking. The equivalent of external silence is inner stillness.

Thinking is no more than a tiny aspect of the totality of consciousness, the totality of who you are.
