Miscellaneous

Heart and Intellect

"The intellect always cuts and divides like a pair of scissors. The heart sews things together and unites like a needle. The tailor uses both."

God Within

"A diamond has a natural brilliance, but when it falls into oil it looses its luster. Similarly, we are not able to recognize God within, because we are immersed in the material world."

Imbedded Tendencies (Vasanas)

"The lonely jackal reassures himself that he will not howl the next time he sees a dog. But when he sees a dog he forgets everything and starts howling loudly."

Reincarnation

"Last month we learned a song and we can't remember it now. But can we say we didn't learn the song? It may be impossible for you to recall your previous lives, but a pure soul can."

Experience

"Even an inexperienced driver can drive a car in an empty field. But only a good driver drives safely though crowded streets."

"Irrigate the field of the mind with the water of devotion; sow the seed of knowledge and reap the fruit of liberation."

Sannyas

"Will a man become a woman just by wearing women's clothes? Will a woman turn into a man if she dresses like a man? Nobody turns into a Sannyasi by grabbing a piece of ochre cloth and wrapping himself in it. One has to dip ones mind in ochre."
