Self-knowledge is the great power by which we comprehend and control our lives

We are slaves to whatever we don't understand.

We never get upset over what happens. Never. We get upset because of preconceived ideas as to what we think should happen, what we want to happen. When our preference clashes with the reality, we get hurt. Rid yourself of all preconceived ideas as to what should happen. You are then at peace whatever happens.

Society is like a crowd in carnival costumes with everyone fearful that others will see through his disguise.

Human sickness is so severe that few can bear to look at it...but those who do will become well.

The world consists of imaginary people, claiming imaginary virtues and suffering from imaginary happiness.

Happiness is yours in the here and now. The painful states of anxiety and loneliness are abolished permanently. Financial affairs are not financial problems. You are at ease with yourself. You are not at the mercy of unfulfilled cravings. Confusion is replaced with clarity. There is a relieving answer to every tormenting question. You possess a True Self. Something can be done about every unhappy condition. While living in the world you can be inwardly detached from its sorrows to live with personal peace and sanity.
