“Bliss is not an abstract, unattainable state or quality. You will experience Bliss when you do what you love doing. Each of us has a special spiritual talent. Doing that one activity, honing that talent, makes us lose ourselves – in that state worry, sadness, worldly challenges, physical pain…all these dissolve and you are soaked in Happiness! That state is Bliss…and it is available to you if you choose not to postpone Happiness and you go do what you love doing!”

“It is possible to live in this world and yet be above it! When Life’s upheavals stump you, choose to be non-complaining. The way to do this is to hold up what the iconic Tamizh poet Kannadasan has said, “Sothanai mel sothanai, pothum ada Saami” (Enough of the upheavals, O! Lord!!) and to embrace the legendary statesman Rajaji’s (in MS' voice) philosophy, “Kurai Ondrum Illai...!” (I have no complaints!). This is how you not only survive a tough time, this is how you thrive in it – experiencing the beauty of reality and the miracle of grace!”

“Sometimes complex Life situations will bring you to your knees. The only option then is to not fight Life, but to surrender to it, to flow with it. Because you don’t know what to do. Well, what do you do when you don’t know what to do? When you flow with Life, you will always be taken to where you must arrive – without friction, without resistance, peacefully.”

Just recognize the other person’s choice to behave the way they want to and let things be. Don’t judge them. Don’t let your sadness consume you, don’t feel traumatized that you trusted them and don’t hate them. Often times, silence, and not adding to a mess, is a great response. It definitely helps protects your inner peace.”

“The essence of intelligent living is to do what you can and must do while thriving with the unknown, with uncertainty. So, don’t wish the darkness away, don’t wait for the clouds to clear, embrace your current reality and do whatever you can best do in the circumstances. You will be amazed with how happy you can really be with what is.”

“We have been conditioned to believe that prayer is all about asking a God for some thing. But what if you have nothing to ask for? What if you treat prayer as a way of being thankful to Life, for the gift of this human form, of this lifetime? What if, in prayer, you offer yourself up to divinity, as a humble, willing instrument, for Life to work through you? Try praying this way – you will find it healing, magical, beautiful and transformational!”

“The whole idea of love is not about falling in love and falling out of love, it is about rising in love. It is about loving, staying loving, in the present continuous tense. There is no physicality to the act of loving…there is compassion, there is understanding, there is listening, there is holding the other person up when they are falling apart. You hold their heart…this is rising in love… You see, people change, circumstances change, appearances change, physicality changes, but when the loving doesn’t change, when the love flows, you go on rising in love…”
