विचार संग्रह

• ज्ञान जब इतना ज्यादा गंभीर हो जाये की हँस न सके । इतना ज्यादा आत्म केंद्रित हो जाये की अपने सिवा दूसरे की चिंता न कर सके । वह ज्ञान, अज्ञान से भी ज्यादा निंदनीय है ।
• ईश्वर सत्य को देखता है मगर प्रतिक्षा करता है ।
• तुलसी इस संसार में सब से मिलिए भाई । न जाने किस वेश में नारायण मिल जाये । ।

• आत्मा ज्ञानमय है।
• न तो कोई किसी को सोचने से रोक सकता है, न अनुभव करने, चाहने या कार्य करने से रोक सकता है। किन्तु यदि कोई वास्तविक सुख चाहता है, तो उसे केवल विषयवस्तु बदलनी होगी आर्थात् उसे सांसारिक विषयों से मन को हटाकर ईश्वर में लगाना होगा।

•   कोई भी संबंध पांच तरह से निभाया जाता है - शरीर से, बुद्धि से, हृदय से, मन से और आत्मा से ।  ज्यादातर संबंध मन तक आते- आते समाप्त हो जाते हैं और मन में अहंकार आने पर टूट जाते हैं ।
•  विनम्रता की पुष्टि होने पर भी अहंकार उपज सकता है ।
•  अहंकार की परछाई है - क्रोध ।

•   अगर मनुष्य जनम-मरन के चक्कर से मुक्त होना चाहता है तो उसे अविवाहित रहते हुए ब्र्म्ह्चर्य व्रत का पालन करना चाहिए । 
•  मनुष्य जैसा सोचता है और आचरण करता है वह वैसा ही बन जाता है । मनुष्य यदि चाहता है की उसे भगवान के दर्शन हों तो उसे कहीं और भटकने की जरुरत नहीं है, स्वयं के आचार-विचार को शुद्ध कर वह अपने को ही भगवान के रूप में प्राप्त होगा ।
•  समस्त दुःखों की जननी माया है ।
