A wise man is one who knows the process of liberation from bondage, and a fool is one who identifies with his material body and mind.

The true path of life is the one that leads to me, and the evil path is sense gratification by which the consciousness is deluded.

Real heaven is the predominance of pure virtue, while hell is the predominance of ignorance.

I am the true Friend of everyone, acting as the Spiritual Master of the entire universe, and my home is the human body.

He who is enriched with good qualities is indeed rich, and he who is dissatisfied with life is indeed poor.

A miserable person is one who cannot control his senses, while a person who is not attached to sense gratification is a true controller [one who masters his senses and mind].

One who clings to satisfaction is the opposite, a slave.

I have thus clarified all the questions you have inquired about. There is no need for a more elaborate description of these good and bad qualities, for constantly seeing good and evil is in itself a bad quality. The best quality is to transcend material good and evil.

I know everything that has happened in the past and that will happen in the future. I know everything, but no one knows me.

There is truly nothing that exists besides me; this is what you must clearly understand. I am the source of all that is.

I am that Supreme Personality, who was before creation, when nothing existed other than myself, and the cause of creation, material nature, was not yet manifest. I am also the one who will remain after annihilation.

Before the creation of this cosmic manifestation, I alone exist with my own spiritual powers, to the exclusion of all gross, subtle, or causal phenomena. Consciousness was not yet manifest. After creation, I alone live in all things, and when the time of annihilation (the end of the world) comes, I alone remain forever.

Nothing is separate from my Person. The entire cosmic manifestation rests within me; it is not separate from my Person. Before creation, I already existed. The entire universe, with a simple spark of my Person, I permeate and sustain it.

I want you to know this: never, in any place, under any circumstance, can we be separated, for I am everywhere present.

If I teach you today this very ancient science, the art of knowing Me, it is because you are My friend and My devotee, and you can thus penetrate the sublime mystery. And when you thus know the truth, you will understand that all beings are an integral part of Me, that they live in Me, and belong to Me.
