  1. Constantly trying to suck energy from others is what I call ‘attention-need’.

  3. Giving love and attention to others is the only solution for your attention-need.
  4. When you live with awareness, every moment is a miracle.
  5. Don’t allow knowledge to dull your being.
  6. Knowledge can beautify you or dull you. It is up to you.
  7. Just sitting can become a tremendous technique if you do it with awareness.

  14. There is too much beauty surrounding you. There is too much glory around you. Just celebrate it!
  15. When you create through art, Existence blesses you, because you have added beauty to it.

  17. Anything that is too beautiful can never be described in words. There is no need to describe it.
  18. Innocence is beautiful because it is original.
  19. The very definition of beauty is that it is incomparable. Then how can you compare any two beautiful things?
