Creation is infinite, without beginning and without end — the ever-moving ripple in an infinite lake.
What we want is freedom, not life, nor pleasure, nor good.
There is no possibility of ever having pleasure without pain, good without evil; for living itself is just the lost equilibrium.
The pleasure of the Self is what the world calls religion.
All pleasures of the senses / even of the mind are evanescent but within ourselves is the one true unrelated pleasure ,dependent upon nothing. It is perfectly free, it is bliss. The more our bliss is within, the more spiritual we are.
If the mind is pleased with praise, it will be displeased with blame.
It is but baby's play, and we know that, so cannot be disturbed by it.
Take a very, very high stand; knowing out universal nature, we must look with perfect calmness upon all the panorama of the world.
Stand upon the Self, then only can we truly love the world.
