Friendship is not (necessarily) about keeping in touch, or being there in each other's need, even. It's just the way we regard the person. Only those who understand this can remain friends forever.

Life doesn't treat you. You treat life. And it's in your hands whether to treat it well or not.

Every moment contains so much good in itself. It's only when we link our present moment with the past and/or the future, we experience all sorts of suffering.

Everybody judges everyone. Nothing's wrong with that. It's the parameters one uses that tells whether or not one is good.

I don't have any individuality other than being a truth-seeker. If you are truer than me, I will change to be you.

Everybody has skewed opinions, for there's no such thing as right opinion. People accept those which fall into line with their own.

Suffering is the default state of conscious beings. Spiritual development is a hack to break free of suffering.

Spiritual development is not a choice that you will work toward when you have the mood. It's a necessity, without which you are bound to suffer for life.

If you are spiritually developed and thus happy without dwelling on any kind of illusion/delusion then whatsoever you are doing, I respect you.

The level of your personal development reflects not in how many women you've screwed, or how great your love life is, but in how happy you are able to keep without the both, amongst other things. How prepared you are to face the indifferent reality!

Calling an ugly-looking person beautiful is as much an insult to his individuality as calling a beautiful person ugly.

A nihilist would say: It doesn't matter in the vast universe whether you live or die. So die! An enlightened person would say: Yes, it doesn't matter in the least. That's exactly the point. Why try to change what IS!

If you want to know whether your friendship with this person (of the opposite sex) is real or hormone-induced, just ask yourself whether you would have been friends if the two of you were the same sex.

Suffering of humankind is not because of not knowing what the universe is made of or how gravity works. It is because people haven't figured out their own mind. So, which knowledge is important?

Don't judge a person's greatness by his knowledge, or status, or education, or eloquence, or personality, or fan-following... The only measure of greatness is the quality of one's ideas; how useful they really are. E.g. Buddha is infinitely greater than Newtons and Einsteins.

For enlightenment you don't have to believe that the world as you see it is an illusion. When you are there you'll know it.

Do not go truth seeking for the sake of itself. Do it to bring ease to your life. If the truth you have discovered doesn't ease your life, it's useless. If it does, it's all there was to seek.

Crisis is woven in the very fabric of existence. No amount of spiritual development can rid creatures of crises. It can only make us immune to the suffering and enable us face life in its true form with utmost joy.

Spirituality is pure truth-seeking about your being. It has nothing to do with God, religion and mysticism.
