The desire that guides me in all I do is the desire to harness the forces of nature to the service of mankind.
Be alone, that is the secret of invention; be alone, that is when ideas are born.
Invention is the most important product of man’s creative brain. The ultimate purpose is the complete mastery of mind over the material world, the harnessing of human nature to human needs.
The individual is ephemeral, races and nations come and pass away, but man remains. Therein lies the profound difference between the individual and the whole.
It is paradoxical, yet true, to say, that the more we know, the more ignorant we become in the absolute sense, for it is only through enlightenment that we become conscious of our limitations. Precisely one of the most gratifying results of intellectual evolution is the continuous opening up of new and greater prospects.
Instinct is something which transcends knowledge. We have, undoubtedly, certain finer fibers that enable us to perceive truths when logical deduction, or any other willful effort of the brain, is futile.
Of all the frictional resistances, the one that most retards human movement is ignorance, what Buddha called ‘the greatest evil in the world’.
Our virtues and our failings are inseparable, like force and matter. When they separate, man is no more.
Every living being is an engine geared to the wheelwork of the universe. Though seemingly affected only by its immediate surrounding, the sphere of external influence extends to infinite distance.
The Heart is the only Reality. The mind is only a transient phase. To remain as one's Self is to enter the Heart.

Throughout space there is energy. Is this energy static or kinetic! If static our hopes are in vain; if kinetic — and this we know it is, for certain — then it is a mere question of time when men will succeed in attaching their machinery to the very wheelwork of nature.
The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.
The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly. One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite insane.
If you torture yourself and everyone around you enough, you may get employment in hell.
What can be spoken of is not the Reality;
Neither what can be spoken of nor what cannot be spoken of is the Reality.
If there is only the limitless One, all is Shiva.
How, then, can there be objects, or senses, the intellect or the mind?

Chapter 6, Verse 8

If there's no distinction between division and non-division,
If there's no distinction between the knower and the known,
If there's only the limitless One, all is Shiva.
What then, is the third mental state, and what is the fourth?

If it's neither with substance nor without substance,

It's beyond the duality of desire and desirelessness;
It's beyond the duality of action and non-action.
If there's only the limitless One, all is Shiva.
What, then, may be considered "without" or "within"?

You must win yourself back from so many delusion and misconceptions.
Misconceptions will ruin your life more than anything outside can do.
They will inhibit, suppress, repress and destroy your natural flow.
Give space to what I am sharing with you now.
Many of you are at the beginning of a very beautiful unfolding.
You will find that whatever is happening, something within remains unchanging.
In fact, you are becoming more true the deeper you go inside.
And you are in the most beautiful place for Self-discovery.
For thousands of years human beings have come to places like Rishikesh to discover what you are discovering here today.
You are discovering your true nature, the wealth of your existence.
You are not becoming another tribe.
You are discovering your universal Being.
Thereafter, you can converse with any tribe because you won't be against anyone.
There are forces that may come to pull you back into the old mind-set, into the old identity and it may seem as though you are more safe like that because you will be again walking on familiar ground. But I say no. No. No.
Grace has brought you here to the holy mountain of your own Self.
Stay only Here now. Trust. Grace is carrying you.
You are being taken care of.
Don’t try to figure anything out.
Have no strategies.
Now you are a child in the lap of God.
You don’t tell a child ‘ Look! go out ASAP and get life insurance’.
No, everything is taken care of.
Feel the harmony.
It is like your entire being is held inside a warm embrace and there is a knowing that all is as it should be.
You don’t want anything at all.
Here there is little attraction for past, future or even present.
There is just the sense of joyous presence.

Logic ridicules love, and love smiles knowingly at the whole foolishness of logic.
There's no distinction between day and night;
There's no distinction between dawn and dusk.
If there's only the limitless One, all is Shiva.
What's the difference if the Sun or the Moon shines?

The one Mind is infinite; It pervades everything.
In the Supreme there is neither "without" nor "within."
The one Mind is, indeed, limitless; all is Shiva.
How, then, could Shiva be defined in thought or in speech?

In many eloquent ways the scriptures have said,
"This observable world's like a desert mirage."
If there's only the limitless One, all is Shiva.
How, then, and to what, could the Self be compared?

In that state where one knows nothing at all,
This versified knowledge does not even exist.
So, now, while I'm in the state of samarasa,
I, the Avadhut, have spoken of the supreme Absolute.
