Clarity affords focus.
Channel your energy. Focus.
Effort is between you and you.
Why should you trouble yourself about the future? You do not even properly know about the present. Take care of the present, the future will take care of itself.
The ultimate truth is so simple. It is nothing more than being in the pristine state. This is all that needs to be said. Only mature minds can grasp the simple truth in all its nakedness.
The state we call realization is simply being oneself, not knowing anything or becoming anything.
Self-inquiry is the process and the goal also. ‘I am’ is the goal and the final reality. To hold to it with effort is self-inquiry. When spontaneous and natural it is realization.
The inquiry “who am I” turns the mind inward and makes it calm.
The world is not outside you.
If it is peace you want, seek to change yourself, not other people. It is easier to protect your feet with slippers than to carpet the whole of the earth.
The only reason men fail is because of broken focus.
People should pursue what they’re passionate about. That will make them happier than pretty much anything else.
Nothing happens without focus. Don’t try to do everything at once. Take it one step at a time.
Have patience with all things, But, first of all with yourself.
You can have results or excuses. Not both.
I can multitask very well. But I know exactly when to block off anything coming in from the outside and just stay focused on the film.
I am not designed to come second or third. I am designed to win.
Winning isn’t getting ahead of others, it is getting ahead of yourself.
The most helpless person is the one who is helpless in reforming himself.
He who busies himself with things other than improvement of his own self becomes perplexed in darkness and entangled in ruin. His evil spirits immerse him deep in vices and make his bad actions seem handsome.
