“There are other little things that, all together, make for a wonderful and joyful life. The little big things of everyday life: a good glass of water, contemplating the burning fireplace in the living room, watching the sun as it sets, a quiet conversation, a visit from a person you haven’t seen for a long time, the silent presence of people you love, watching the plants and birds burst into life in spring, the company of my dog and her affection in the form of licks that leave you smeared with saliva, like a homemade syrup…All these are small things. But happiness does not lie in being able to do many things, but in knowing how to enjoy what we can do without worrying about what we cannot do.”

“What is Self-realization? It is giving up the pretension that you are not the Self, that you are a mere body. People say to me, 'You are God Himself.' I reply, 'You are also He.' 'We are not He'-they rejoin. What else is this, but that they simulate and, for some lila of their own, hide behind a mask their real and divine nature?”
