-Spirituality is life - the more we reflect on our experiences the more we come to appreciate this fundamental and profound truth
-Karma is a product of ignorance - as soon as we rediscover our Infinite Nature there is no entity to incur and exhaust karma, only an instrument for the Divine to act through
-Society is not concerned about our needs and wants, rather only capitalizes on our weaknesses (i.e. if you are not wealthy and beautiful you are inferior) - we have to be concerned with our needs and wants and not succumb to the fear which society tends to educate and instill in us
-When we live with a yajna bhava (spirit of sacrifice and service) every moment becomes spiritual - with such a vision one comes to Love all and no thing, being or situation can touch such a personality
-The mind can only function when it is attached to something - it cannot function and be detached concurrently (As the 'ignorant' men act from attachment to action, O Bharata, so should the 'wise' men act without attachment, wishing welfare for the world --- Srimad Bhagavad Gita Verse 25, Chapter 3)
-Desire is that threat which prevents knowledge from transforming into wisdom - when we want, we stop being aware
-The Infinite must be sought in that alone which is Infinite, our Spirit - the body, mind, intellect and ego, where we tend to seek answers, will always keep us in realm of limitations
-The difference between materialism and spirituality is not physical (have or have not), rather mental (want or want not) - all we have to do is recognize that Joy comes from within and not without, then detachment becomes simple and seductive
