13. The path of love is not a tedious path. It’s a path of joy. It’s a path of singing and dancing. It’s not a desert. It is a valley of flowers.

14. When your mind is not complaining, responsible, courageous, confident and hollow and empty you are inexplicably beautiful.

15. Life, love and GOD are a mystery. You can never understand it. Trying to understand means taking the ocean in a cup.

16. You crave for attention and recognition if:

-you have no love or passion.

-you are not innocent and childlike.

25. You should only point out the mistake of a person who does not know, but who wants to know.

26. For zeal and enthusiasm, you need to be well rested so, whenever creativity comes the need to rest also comes.

Sorrow need to be lived through & got rid off. It should not be suppressed.

28. It is only when you are detached in life can you watch the sansara and all of its plays.

Longing for worldly things makes you inert.

Longing for infinity fills you with life.

31. Love spring when there is no effort, when all activities are shunned.

32. The circumference is the Devotee, the centre is the Devine- a centre is no centre without the circumference.
