Take the case of the infinite ocean. There is no limit to its water. Suppose a pot is immersed in it: there is water both inside and outside the pot. The jnani sees that both inside and outside there is nothing but Paramatman. Then what is this pot? It is 'I-consciousness'. Because of the pot the water appears to be divided into two parts; because of the pot you seem to perceive an inside and an outside. One feels that way as long as this pot of 'I' exists. When the 'I' disappears, what is remains. That cannot be described in words.

The winds of grace blow all the time. All we need to do is set our sails.

As the snake is separate from its slough, even so is the Spirit separate from the body.

As a toy fruit or a toy elephant reminds one of the real fruit and the living animal, so do the images that are worshipped remind one of the God who is formless and eternal.

Have love for everyone, no one is other than you.

If you meditate on your ideal, you will acquire its nature. If you think of God day and night, you will acquire the nature of God.

Respect is heaven, respect is liberation.
