Those who are pure in heart achieve God-consciousness; they are truly and actually aware of God at the centre of their being.
Those who are ignorant of the supreme purpose of life will never be able to attain nirvana (liberation) in spite of their observance of the vratas (vows) and niyamas (rules) of religious conduct and practice of shila (celibacy) and tapas (penance).
If one fully understands the present moment, there will be nothing else to do, and nothing else to pursue.
In order to become a success, a business doesn’t just have to do well, it has to do better than its competitors. Being number one isn’t just about bragging rights. Often it means the difference between prospering and merely hanging on.
This is true knowledge: to seek the Self as the true end of wisdom always. To seek anything else is ignorance.
