“The one who remains calm in pleasure and pain, gain and loss, victory and defeat is ready for true liberation.”
-
“Whatever a person constantly thinks about, that they gradually become.”

“The one who sees friend and enemy, honor and insult, heat and cold, happiness and suffering with equal vision is truly wise.”
-
“A peaceful mind brings strength, while a troubled mind leads to suffering.”
-
“When a person lets go of ego and desire, true freedom is attained.”
-
“Whenever righteousness declines and unrighteousness rises, I manifest Myself to restore balance.”
