100 Quotes by Acharya Prashant

What is ego? The idea that I am more alive or more intelligent than anybody or anything else. Temporalisation or localisation of life is ego.

Beauty is not a work of mind; it is not a place, person – heard or read. When the ugliness within ceases for a while, beauty is what remains.

There is no ‘my life’ or ‘your life’. There is just Life, total. ‘My life’ is ego, separation and ends in death. Life is oneness and immortal.

In the exam of life, no question is ever repeated.

Anger cannot be right in isolation. If everything else about you is wrong and petty, then anger too is bound to be wrong and petty. Do not be too bothered with the problem of anger. Do not try to look at the one fragment of mind and quarantine it. Whatever is the quality of your life, that is also the quality of your anger. When life is genuine, then anger is also genuine. When life is fake, then all you have is fake anger. When life has depth, then anger too has depth. When life is shallow, then anger is mere poking and pinching.

There is no need to give detailed accounts of your life. All your stories are just ego. Just admit “I failed”, and you are home.

Every meaningful work that I do is based on my concepts, and hence on my ego. Let me dance a meaningless dance and live a meaningless life.

For life to be timeless, you will have to live in the changeless.

How will it feel to know that you have wasted your one precious life, and now it is too late? Wake up!
