Philosophy
Reflections on wisdom, love and the inner life.
Drawn from a lifetime of contemplation and study of the Vedas, these reflections invite us toward bliss, right conduct and a deeper connection with the divine within.
When our heart is soaked in love, it will not be contaminated by egoism.
Right conduct — what we call Dharma — is the sunlight that illumines our inner soul.
Bend the body, mend the senses, and end the mind.
Truth is one; all wise people interpret it differently, yet reach the same eternal truth.
The highest wealth is the absence of greed.
The individual arising from the universe returns to the universe — this is the mystery of this marvelous creation.
