- The sin lies not in the action but in the motive behind it. A soldier who kills enemies in the battlefield is not a criminal. However, if the same person were to do the same action towards his neighbor, it would indeed be a crime and a sin.
- Repeated wrong motives create vasanas that become imprinted in our psyche, which are the residues of past karmas.
- When these vasanas lead the mind away from the Self, they deprive us of the bliss of the Self.
- Self-knowledge that leads to Self-abidance creates the wonder of universal compassion. One who has realized the Self in oneself recognizes the same Self in all without any ambiguity.
- This individual sees oneself as including everyone, and due to this vision of Oneness, treats everyone the same everywhere, always!
