I love everybody. Each one plays the role they have to play, but in the spiritual arena there are people who are even closer to me than that.
Divine desperateness is the beginning of spiritual awakening because it gives rise to the aspiration for God-realisation.
One has to go beyond the mind to experience the spiritual bliss of desirelessness.
The intellect of most persons is harnessed by innumerable wants. From the spiritual point of view, such a life is the lowest type of human existence. The highest type of human existence is free from all wants and is characterised by sufficiency or contentment.

In the spiritual life it is not necessary to have a complete map of the path in order to begin traveling. On the contrary, having such complete knowledge may actually hinder rather than help the onward march. The deeper secrets of spiritual life are unraveled to those who take risks and who make bold experiments with it. They are not meant for the idler who seeks guarantees at every step. Those who speculate from the shore about the ocean shall know only its surface, but those who would know the depths of the ocean must be willing to plunge into it.
