Whatever happens to us originates in the mind.

The vast majority of people's concept of love is actually hate, more or less. “I need you, I must have you, I can't live without you, you're mine,” is all non-love.

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.

Nervousness is caused by wanting two opposing things at the same time, one consciously and the other subconsciously. The battle is resolved when you make the subconscious desire conscious. On the other hand, if you know what you are, there will be no conflicts. You can do that through seeking. It is not necessary to understand the negative. It is far better to be positive. Be Your Self.

If we don't like what's happening to us in the world, all we have to do is change our consciousness - and the world out there changes for us!

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.

A mental picturing of that which we want, with the complete acceptance and the conviction that it is ours now, will bring it quickly.
