For those who have obtained unobstructed knowledge of Self, the world is seen merely as a bondage causing imagination.

The place where even the slightest trace of the 'I' does not exist, alone is Self.

All unhappiness is due to the ego. With it comes all your trouble. If you would deny the ego and scorch it by ignoring it you would be free.

When your real, effortless, joyful grateful nature is realized, it will not be inconsistent with the ordinary activities of life.

Happiness is your real nature. You identify with yourself with the body and mind, feel it's limitations, and suffer. Realize your true self in order to open the store of happiness. That true self is the reality, the Supreme Truth, which is the self of all the world you now see, the self of all the selves, the One real, the Supreme, the Eternal self - as distinct from the ego or the bodily idea for the self.

When there are thoughts, it is distraction: when there are no thoughts, it is meditation.

All activities and events that a body is to go through are determined at the time of conception.
