“Love makes man an ocean, an infinity. Love gives a kind of unboundedness. It helps you know that you are not defined by any limits. It helps you to know that you are not confined by the mind and the body. It helps you to know that you are as vast as the sky. The beauty of love is that it makes you aware of your vastness. That is the first experience of godliness. Love as much as you can. Love as many people as possible. Love not only people, but animals, brids, trees, rocks and stars. Become loving, so whatsoever you do, it should have the flavor of love. Whatsoever you touch it should have the touch of love. Whatsoever you say, you should say it with love. In the beginning it is hard, but make it a meditation. Meditation is an experience of love. Love brings you to the oceanic, to the vast. Then the door to the temple opens, and you enter the real temple, where you will find the real God.”

“Если вы проводите жизнь, сидя на вершине нравственного холма, то ничего, кроме грязи внизу, не видите. А если, подобно мне, живете в самой грязи, то перед вами открывается обалденно хороший вид на чистое синее небо и чистые зеленые холмы вокруг. Не существует людей более злобных, чем носители нравственной миссии, как и не существует людей более чистых душой, чем те, кто погряз в пороке.”

“Cât timp așteaptă ceva din partea universului, omul e un negustor care umblă să primească, care schimbă bani și face troc, și se înfurie când dă greș, și se sinucide când nu i se dă ce e al lui, dacă polițele nu-i sunt plătite, dacă încasările sunt mai mici decât cheltuielile. Dar omul care a renunțat la orice rasplată, care lucrează pentru ceea ce e sortit pieirii știind ca totul va pieri, acela e singurul om vrednic, cu adevărat vrednic de a locui împacat in acest univers. El singur e nobil in fața samsarilor care-l înconjoară, chiar dacă aceștia au scris pe firmele pravăliilor lor numele cele mai pure, mai ideale, mai metafizice.”
