- If I can quench my thirst with one glass of water, what need is there for me to measure the quantity of water in the lake? If I get intoxicated with half a bottle of wine. What is the need to know the quantity of wine in the wine shop? In the same way, what is the need to know the Infinite?
- Dive deep into the sweetness of God’s love. What need is there for us to find out about God’s infinite creation, His limitless splendours?
- Who can really know God? It is enough to know as much as one needs. What is the need for a whole well? A jug of water is enough. An ant went to a mound of sugar. What need had it for the whole mound? A grain or two made it happy.
- As is the disease, so is the remedy. The Lord says in the Gita, ‘O Arjuna, take refuge in me, I shall free you from all your sins.’ Take refuge in God. He will grant you right understanding. He will take up your whole burden. Then all your defects and aberrations will be wiped away.
- You’ve come to drink wine. What is the use in knowing how many maunds of wine are in the wine shop? Just a tumbler-full is enough for you. What is the need for you to know His infinite affairs?
- There are numberless paths to reach the ocean of immortality. Any path you take, it is enough if you can jump into this ocean.
- There are innumerable paths. Among them are the path of knowledge, the path of action, and the path of love and devotion. You will attain God by any path if you have sincere longing for Him.
- No one recognized the depth of Rupa and Sanatana’s emotion. If an elephant goes into a small pond, everything goes topsy-turvy. But if it plunges into a deep lake, there is no disturbance; no one even notices.
- Eat the mangoes! What’s the use of calculating how many hundreds of trees there are in the orchard, how many thousands of branches, how many millions of leaves? Why calculate all this? You’ve come to eat mangoes. Eat them!
