Anandam selvathai
eerkkum
"The wealth of the inner world is bliss; the bliss of
the outer world is wealth!
The person with no inner awareness remains poor even if he
has material wealth. The person with inner awareness is rich
and can attract wealth even if he is materially poor. Inner
awareness comes with an overflowing bliss that has the property
of attracting good fortune...!"
Vizhippunarvu!
Ullae sellum vazhi
"You are neither the body nor the mind; you are pure
blissful Consciousness. Man who is capable of traveling around
the world finds it difficult to travel inside him. When you
travel inside, you will gain immeasurable energy, intelligence
and bliss. Awareness is your master, your guide,
your path and your goal!"
Un aasaigalai
aaraindhu paar...
"How long are you going to deceive yourself with your
so-called desires? In the name of your own desires, you are
actually harbouring the desires dumped on you by society,
friends, family and what not. By not waking up to our own
desires and trying to live others' desires, we are like a
cow that is feeding on a poisonous creeper thinking that it
is a healthy plant.
Learn to analyse and understand what your true desires and
what are those that you have picked up from others and they
have dumped on you. Then you will start really living..."
Anubavathilirundhu
anuboothikku...
"The mind always sways between happiness and sorrow.
If it does not find reasons to be happy, it finds reasons
to feel sad. It continuously searches for reasons. True bliss
is beyond reasons. It is permanent. For one moment, if the
mind can be stopped and true bliss tasted, we will move from
being a person with growing experience to a person who has
attained to true wisdom!"
Prapanja shakthiyin
arputhangal!
"The whole of Existence is a miracle of which you are
a miraculous and beautiful flower! The answer to questions
like 'what is the center of Existence? what is the life force
that sustains it? who is it's creator? is the same - that
is 'YOU!' The moment you understand that you are already enlightened,
you will understand the answer to this question. Move on from
being just another body to becoming a miraculous flower of
Existence...!"
Yaen Guru?
"I am not here to prove that I am God. I am here to
prove that you are God.
The Guru outside you is a nightmare to awaken the Guru within
you.
A womb makes a woman a mother. A Guru makes a man a Master!"
Aanmeegam
endra ariviyal
"Spirituality is a science that offers experiential
solutions to all our problems in life. Spirituality is not
a part of life, it is life itself. Spirituality is nothing
but techniques to experience blissful living. It is a science
to be followed by every man who wishes to live inside his
body in totality..."
Un manadhe
samudaayam
"There is no such individual thing such as society.
Society is nothing but our own collective thoughts about people
and their opinions. Society is like a sky filled with clouds
that are our own thoughts. Depending on our thoughts, we classify
society as good or bad and act accordingly. It is just in
our mind. So it is upto us to decide if our society is going
to be heaven or hell..."
Unakku yaethu
yellai?
"Man is nothing but infinite Existence caught within
the finite boundaries of the mind. Understand that you are
infinite. Meditate and experience that you have unbounded
intelligence and power within you to expand and explode in
360 degrees...!"
