This book is collection of Thoughts of Babuji on different subjects like Reality, Salvation, Spirituality, Determination - Devotion and Bhakti, Meditation, Pranahuti or Yogic Transmission, Laya and Samadhi, Constant Remembrance, Concentration, Character, Conduct and Love, Peace, Surrender, Realisation, Realised Soul, Ego, Religion, Afflictions...... etc. Very nice, uplifting & enriching thoughts.

My favorite quotes:

• "Philosophy is the way of thinking. Yoga is the way of doing and Realisation is the way of undoing."

• "As God is the Centre, to occupy a centralized position, make God your goal."

• "The real cry of the painful heart of a true seeker brings the Master to his door."

• "Every one wants peace. That means Realisation is not the aim. In that case one may get peace but not Realisation. But if Realisation is the aim, peace will automatically follow."

• "The craving for God is the most important thing, without which there can be no progress."

• "The wonder is that we expect everything from God; but we don't even try to deserve it."

• "We must maintain in our thought a constant feeling of His presence."

• "Feeling of lightness is the evidence to prove that the real state has begun to manifest itself. Feeling of love is also it's proof."

• "Meditation can be successfully followed only when it is backed by the power of Pranahuti, transmission."

• "Meditation is like searching for a diamond which is lost in a pit."

• "You can pick up pearls only when you dive deep into the ocean."

• "Sages say, "Know thyself" but I prefer to say, "Forget thyself."

• "Love and obedience are interdependent."

• "if we think ourselves to be lovers and HIM the Beloved, and proceed with the same sentiment, the result will be that God Himself will become the lover and we the beloved in the long run."

• "A searching mind grasps the objects of the world. A quite mind reaches the source of reality."

• "Real purity can come only when one is attached to the Real Being." (God)

• "Simple living is the first thing. There is one way of copying God -- Simplicity in thought."

• "God is simple and extremely subtle. In order to realise the subtlest Being, we must take up means which are equally fine and subtle."

• "There are so many amongst us who have the idea that simply knowing God is enough. This is a wrong conception. Having God is the real subject of spirituality."
