Living in resentment is as violent as planting a bomb. The difference is just that the violence happens within you.

The very aspiration for greatness comes from a very petty mind. It is always a very ordinary mind which aspires to be special. It is not necessary to aspire to greatness or to be special. If you make the focus and the ambit of your life well beyond the concerns of who you are, if you take away this one calculation, “What about me?” from your life, you will anyway be a great human being.

Just drop this one calculation from your head, “What about me?” and function to the best of your ability. What has to happen will happen. People may or may not call you Mahatma, it does not matter. You will live like a Mahatma, you are a Mahatma. Mahatma means you are a great piece of life. You are a great piece of life the moment you take away this one calculation from your mind. Then, wherever you are, you will shine.

This is not about being superhuman — this is about realizing that being human is super.

Morality has become an important thing in the society because people have forsaken their humanity. If your humanity was alive and active you would not need any morality. People have put their humanity to sleep and trying to behave like human beings with morality and it’s not working because everybody will come up with his own morality.

If you stir up the humanity within you, you will do the most sensible thing that’s needed for that moment and that’s all that matters that your actions are in context with the realities in which you exist. And the context is always changing; if you don’t change according to that, people who are moralistic are always looking archaic for the new generation of people, isn’t it? They wonder why this guy is still alive. Yes? If you’re very moralistic, even your children will wonder why are you still alive; because you look like you are from somewhere else.

As long as we are divided in the name of religion, race, caste, gender, and nationality, there can be no true success for humanity.

Who you are in the world depends on the opinions of others – this is not important. What is important is who you are within yourself.

The difference between knowledge, knowing, and wisdom: Knowledge can be acquired. Knowing is a realization. Wisdom, you have to earn.

Whether you like something or you dislike something - either way, you exaggerate the reality.
