“Love is not selective, desire is selective. In love there are no strangers. When the centre of selfishness is no longer, all desires for pleasure and fear of pain cease; one is no longer interested in being happy; beyond happiness there is pure intensity, inexhaustible energy, the ecstasy of giving from a perennial source.”
― Nisargadatta Maharaj, I Am That: Talks with Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

“One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love.”
― Leo Tolstoy

“Read, read, read. That's all I can say.”
― Carolyn Keene, The Secret of the Old Clock

“To deal with things knowledge of things is needed. To deal with
people, you need insight, sympathy. To deal with yourself, you need
nothing. Be what you are--conscious being--and don't stray away from
yourself.”
― Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, I Am That: Talks with Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
