The happiness of the world is transitory. The less you become attached to the world, the more you enjoy peace of mind.

I am the mother of the wicked, as I am the mother of the virtuous. Never fear. Whenever you are in distress, say to yourself, ‘I have a mother.

I tell you one thing - if you want peace of mind, don not fault with others.

Don't puzzle the mind with too many inquiries. One finds it difficult to put one single thing into practising, but dares invite distraction by filling the mind with too many things.

Desire may be compared to a minute seed. It is like a big banyan tree growing out of a seed, which is no bigger than a dot.

The creation itself is full of griefs. How can one understand joy if there is no sorrow? And how can everyone be happy at the same time?

In one word, one should desire of God desirelessness. For desire alone is at the root of all suffering. It is the cause of repeated births and deaths. It is the obstacle in the way of liberation.
