"If you make human company too important you will not discover your true Self. Relationships not based in truth are never entirely reliable and are rarely enduring.
Taking time to discover yourself is the best use of time. Prioritize this.
One should not excessively seek partners or friends, one should seek to know and be oneself. As you begin to awaken to the Truth, you start noticing how well life flows by itself and how well you are cared for. Life supports the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual needs of the one who is open to self-discovery. Trust opens your eyes to the recognition of this. Surrender allows you to merge in your own eternal being."
- Mooji

- Paramhansa Yogananda
"The more you Meditate, the more helpful you can be to others, and the more deeply you will be in tune with God."

"Gratitude is the greatest prayer. Thank you is the greatest Mantra."
- Paramahamsa Nithyananda
"Gratitude is like a fire that can burn all your Karmas. What is karma? It is an unfulfilled action on your part that pulls you again and again to fulfill it. In order to fulfill and exhaust all such Karmas that we have accumulated, we take birth again and again on this planet. Just by being with the energy of gratitude, these Karmas get burnt! Such is the power of gratitude."
- Paramahamsa Nithyananda
