Desire means the way to go out; desire is the path that leads you out. If your mind is still desiring, you cannot move within.

Life is a mystery,but man wants to reduce it to a problem!

Existence does not listen to your desires, and does not follow your desires, however beautiful and however pious. Existence goes on in its own way.

With effort, reach to effortlessness. With seeking, reach to a state of no-seeking. With mind, arrive at no-mind.

I teach you joy, not sadness. I teach you playfulness, not seriousness. I teach you love and laughter, because to me there is nothing more sacred than love and laughter, and there is nothing more prayerful than playfulness. I don't teach you renunciation, as it has been taught down the ages. I teach you: Rejoice, rejoice, and rejoice again! Rejoicing should be the essential core of my sannyasins.

<...> God is a person; godliness is a quality. You cannot become God, but you can be godly. <...>.
