“Humility is of greater value than all factual accumulation. Unless one has completely and totally experienced the presence of God in its stunning, absolute Allness, it is safe to assume that one really knows nothing and that all accumulated so-called knowledge is but ignorance and pride.” – David Hawkins
“I am not trying to tell you what you should do or not do. All I am saying is, whatever it is in your life, if you think it is precious for you—not for somebody else—if you think this needs to be done, you must do it today, not tomorrow.” – Sadhguru
“Pride in the form of the vanity of thoughts, concepts, and opinions are all the basis of ignorance. The antidote is radical humility, which undoes the domination of perception. Ask for truth to be revealed instead of assuming that you already know it.” – David Hawkins
“The air doesn’t love you, but it gives life.That’s how you should become—simply nourishing everything around you.” – Sadhguru
“One-pointedness of mind means to focus on the crest of the wave of witnessing/experiencing, plus being willing to surrender perceived loss or gain. That is the primary skill that is needed.” – David Hawkins
“If there is a mad man who thinks he is tied to a column—there is no rope or chain but he thinks he is tied—whatever you tell him, he will not listen.” – Sadhguru
“When the mind stops talking, one is aware that one is life. One is immersed in it rather than being on the surface, talking about it. Paradoxically, this enables full participation. With diminution of egocentricity, the joy of freedom and the sheer flow of life sweep one into total surrender. One then stops reacting to life so that it can be enjoyed with serenity.” – David Hawkins
“While the ego/self routinely takes credit for survival, its true source is the presence of Divinity as Self. It is only because of the Self that the ego is capable of being self-sustaining. It is just a recipient of life energy and not its origin, as it believes. The ego is the main hero/heroine in the inner movie of one’s life.” – David Hawkins
“Yoga is the path towards being boundless.” – Sadhguru
“It is out of righteousness that all the horrors of mankind arise in mankind’s history.” – David Hawkins
“You are successful if you now had the courage to own your own decisions and take responsibility.” – David Hawkins
“When you do not know the joy of being at absolute ease with yourself, you are in dis-ease. It is only a matter of time for it to become physiological.” – Sadhguru
“The thought, ‘I know’ precludes the ultimate awareness of the real ‘I am’. The word ‘know’ is dualistic and assumes a dichotomy between a separate subject—the ‘knower’—and something external to be known.” – David Hawkins
“You must be willing to listen. Listen to anything and everything. Somebody seems to be talking utter nonsense, but still you listen. Because most of the geniuses in the world spoke utter nonsense, as far as the rest of the world was concerned at that moment. It is only after a generation, people recognized those were the wisest things that were said.” – Sadhguru
“The ego’s addiction and survival are based on the secret pleasure of negativity, which cannot be abandoned until it is first recognized, identified, and owned without shame or guilt. One has to see that this is just how the ego, which everyone inherits, operates, and recognize that it is not personal at all.” – David Hawkins
“I am not talking about Joy as the ultimate possibility in your life; I am talking about Joy as the ‘A’ of your life, not the ‘Z’ of your life. When the ‘A’ has not happened, what else are you talking about? You are trying to build a house without laying the foundations.” – Sadhguru
“The mind can only ‘know about,’ rather than truly comprehend, essence—which is a nonverbal realization in which consciousness and essence are united as Oneness.” – David Hawkins
“The things you used to own, now they own you.” – Chuck Palahniuk
“You are not your job, you’re not how much money you have in the bank. You are not the car you drive. You’re not the contents of your wallet.” – Chuck Palahniuk
“‘If you don’t know what you want,’ the doorman said, ‘you end up with a lot you don’t.'” – Chuck Palahniuk
