The will is not free - it is a phenomenon bound by cause and effect - but there is something behind the will which is free.

The Gita is like a bouquet composed of the beautiful flowers of spiritual truths collected from the Upanishads.

Work on with the intrepidity of a lion but at the same time with the tenderness of a flower.

Unselfishness is more paying, only people have not the patience to practice it.

The ideal person is he who, in the midst of the greatest silence and solitude, finds the intensest activity, and in the midst of the intensest activity finds the silence and solitude of the desert.

There are men who practice Titiksha, and succeed in it. There are men who sleep on the banks of the Ganga in the midsummer sun of India, and in winter float in the waters of the Ganga for a whole day; they do not care. Men sit in the snow of the Himalayas, and do not care to wear any garment. What is heat? What is cold? Let things come and go, what is that to me, I am not the body.

As soon as we react, we become slaves. A man blames me, and I immediately react in the form of anger. A little vibration which he created made me a slave.
