"One should think of oneself as a purely spiritual being, as Self-Illuminous, poised in the Bliss of the Self."

Sri Anandamayi Ma

"The more you become a connoisseur of gratitude, the less you are a victim of resentment, depression, and despair. Gratitude will act as an elixir that will gradually dissolve the hard shell of your ego- your need to possess and control- and transform you into a generous being. The sense of gratitude produces true spiritual alchemy, makes us magnanimous- large souled."

"We have to stop consuming our culture. We have to create culture. Don’t watch T.V. Don’t read magazines. Don’t even listen to NPR. Create your own roadshow. The nexus of space and time where you are now is the most immediate sector of your universe. And if you’re worrying about Micheal Jackson or Bill Clinton then you are disempowered, you’re giving it all away to icons. Icons that are controlled by an electronic media. So you wanna dress like X or have lips like Y. This is shit-brained, this kind of thinking. That is all cultural diversion. And what is real is you and your friends and your associations, your highs, your orgasms, your hopes, your plans, your fears. And we are told no, we are unimportant. We’re peripheral. Get a degree. Get a job. Get a this, get a that and then you’re a player. You don’t even want to play in that game. You want to reclaim your mind and get it out of the hands of the cultural engineers that want to turn you into a half-baked moron consuming all this trash that’s being manufactured out of the bones of a dying world."

"When you choose a diet that is compassionate toward animals and nature, nature responds by being kind and compassionate in return…No single thing affects our lives or the world we live in as much as eating, something that most of us do at least three times every single day. Once the way in which you feed yourself changes or evolves, your entire existence evolves. When your body and mind are free from pollutants, you become a clear channel for receiving information from the universe. There is no longer anything to prevent it. This demonstrates a direct and authentic intention to the universe."
