We didn't create life. Life created us and gave us a very specific tool which is the sense of self. We don't know yet how to use it appropriately. We kill millions of our own for nothing.

When the sense of self cannot discriminate what is important for the system's well-being from what is not, it becomes dangerous to itself.

By definition “Brahman” cannot be captured by the human mind. And you don't know a damn thing about “Aham". So, “Aham Brahamasmi” is a completely narcissistic statement. There is no humility in it.

Your power of creating complexity cannot accept the simplicity of what is. You are just an ordinary person. But you have created Brahman, Vishnu, Krishna, Shivalingam, Jyotirlingam and what not!

Authority is the acceptance of someone else’s ideas. The medium through which one accepts any authority is created out of the human imaginative faculty, the building blocks of which are words and images.

The body does not want to be high all the time. When you get used to a certain high through chemical inducement or information, you want it again and again. The absence of the high is interpreted as a low. For the body neither high nor low is important. It just wants to function optimally.

You are a squatter but you think you are the owner of the body. You know all the different ways to kill yourself, but you don't know what you should do to address it's core well-being.

What is it that makes you feel that some more information, association or movement is necessary for you to find peace? What I am saying is that you are not doing what is supposed to be done to sort out the already existing information and throw out that which is not important. You are attached to certain ideas and you give too much importance to them. To me that is the worst drug.

What is there will exhibit itself. It will move in the field of living where the stress is minimum. That's all it wants. If I have to say anything about my functionality, it is this. I just don't want to uphold any ideas whatsoever.

This physical body is only interested in its survival and procreation and in facing the challenges of society appropriately. Anything else you imagine as valid and run after is a disturbance.

People who created science are way more passionate and curious than those who created religion and beliefs. Science is based on reproducibility. You know it works, otherwise you would never board a plane. If your son is dying, no God will come to your rescue, but a doctor will certainly help!
