A man may steal and be punished as a thief, or perform good deeds and be commended, but the power of Consciousness, which remains only a witness, is neither thief nor good man.

More quotes by Shantananda Saraswati

All troubles which we encounter in our life are due to treating the world as real.

Only if men could see that they have nothing to do, nothing to claim, nothing to achieve in this already complete and blissful creation, they would begin to enjoy and also fulfil the purpose.

The creation is for bliss. It is a play, and the play is only for enjoyment.

In meditation one is just One. One becomes the Self. The method of meditation is only a process by which this is made possible.

The moving mind looks for happiness in getting and experiencing things. These do not suffice, for, when the mind has one thing it immediately rushes after another. The still mind finds happiness in everything.
