What is joy? Joy is nothing but the Self. When desires are fulfilled, the mind is stilled. This allows the Self to shine forth and that is what we call joy.

Every time you feel miserable, there is present an excellent opportunity to make a big step forward.

I began by asking myself, “What do I want out of life?” And the answer was happiness. Investigating further, I went into the moment when I was feeling happiest. I discovered something which to me was startling at the time. It was when I was loving that I was happiest. That happiness equated to my capacity to love rather than to being loved. That was a starting point.

Parliaments cannot right the world; but enough individuals feeling love can.

There's no such thing as a mistake--we do it! There's no such thing as an accident--we do it!.

If you see misery, it's your misery. When you see the perfection where the seeming imperfection seems to be, the misery is only an apparency.

Feeling sad about anything is holding onto it. Say, 'This is something I have to let go of,' and immediately you will feel better.
