"It is false to speak of realization. What is there to realize? The real is as it is always. We are not creating anything new or achieving something which we did not have before. The illustration given in books is this. We dig a well and create a huge pit. The space in the pit or well has not been created by us. We have just removed the earth which was filling the space there. The space was there then and is also there now. Similarly we have simply to throw out all the age-long sanskaras [innate tendencies] which are inside us. When all of them have been given up, the Self will shine alone."

You will fail sometimes, not because you planned to, but simply because you're human. Failure is a part of creating a great life. Stand up to it and handle it with grace. Because, you can."
"Business today is more personal than ever. It's about pouring your soul into whatever you create. It's about providing more value than anyone else in the market and focusing on creating strong, honest, and deep connections with your customers."
"There is in me an anarchy and frightful disorder. Creating makes me die a thousand deaths, because it means making order, and my entire being rebels against order. But without it I would die, scattered to the winds."
"I'm creating an imaginary — it's always imaginary — world in which I would like to live."
"If you are not in the state of either acceptance, enjoyment, or enthusiasm, look closely and you will find that you are creating suffering for yourself and others."

Right here is the point at which the majority of men meet with failure, because of their lack of persistence in creating new plans to take the place of those which fail."
"We are not telling Tudor history; we are creating ' Wolf Hall ' from novels, which are already a rereading of Tudor history."
