“Man is the expression of God, and God is the reality of man. Real man and God are inseparable. "This Atman is not to be realized by the intellect, nor by words, nor by hearing from many sources; but by him by whom this Atman is beloved, by him alone is the Atman realized." The thing necessary for us is to feel intense love in our hearts for this Atman, or God; otherwise He is not attainable. There is no other way that man can reach unto God, except through love — love always unites. This love for God comes unto those blessed beings who are pure in heart, from whom all attachment for unreal things, all selfish desires have vanished. This purity of heart and love for God are the sum and substance of all religious teachings”

“So many thousand years have passed, Upanishad narrates that Rishi Jagyabalka was saying, ‘Those who worship others except himself, they are like the offered animal for ritualistic performances.’ That means they are animals. How foolishness! A man is God or Brahma. Oh! The whole human race is Brahma or God. And I will not accept anything except human being because I have got no proof of other objects. So let others be kept aside. Some hundreds of years ago, Chandidas said, ‘Above all man is the Truth, nothing is above that’. This living human being is the Truth, nothing else is there.”

“As Hindu thought and metaphysical experiences evolved even further (as I said, the Hindu lineage is very long), the two previous focuses of exploration—nature and the individual—were combined. You could find the Eternal by either means, they discovered, and they combined the two in the form of a summary of all previous findings. This summary was called the Bhagavad Gita.”

“Keeping things stable takes energy. I guess it's a little counter-intuitive, since you think of Newton's first law: a body at rest will stay at rest. But the reality is different. Think about an old water tank you find in the woods. It's sitting there, doing nothing, and yet it's slowly falling apart. Eventually the rust eats away at it beyond a certain threshold, and it collapses under its own weight.”
