- What Brahman is cannot be expressed in words, nor can He be said to be a person.
- He who is Brahman is Himself the Atman and also God. He is the Brahman of the Brahmajnani, the Paramatman of the yogi, and the Lord of the devotee.
- Brahman and Shakti are inseparable. Belief in one implies belief in the other – like fire and its burning power.
- What Brahman is cannot be expressed in words. He who attains Brahman cannot give information about Him. There is a saying, ‘A ship never returns once it reaches the black waters.’
- If you once taste the bliss of Brahman, your mind will not run after sense pleasures, wealth, and honour. If a moth sees light once, it doesn’t go into darkness again.
- The eternal, ever-pure Consciousness – the Essence. How can I make it clear to you? If somebody asks you how ghee tastes, how can you explain it? At the most you can say, ‘What is ghee like? It’s just like ghee.’
- When Giriraj (the Lord of the mountains, Himalaya) had seen Bhagavati in many forms, He said to Her, ‘Mother, may I now have the vision of Brahman mentioned in the Vedas?’ Bhagavati replied, ‘Father, if you want to see Brahman, you must have the company of holy people.’
- What Brahman is cannot be explained in words. Someone said, ‘Everything has been made impure by the tongue, but Brahman has never been defiled.’
- The Vedas, the Puranas, the Tantras, and other scriptures may be said to have been defiled because they are recited by the tongues of men. But what Brahman is, nobody has yet been able to express in speech. So Brahman has not yet been defiled. One cannot describe in words the play and communion with Sat-chit-ananda. Only he knows who has experienced it.
