Baba Hari Dass"Human birth is the highest. It is for attaining liberation. If we dont consciously try for liberation, then we are misusing our human birth.Every action, thought, and word should be spiritual. It happens only when the mind is purified by sadhana (spiritual practice)."
Baba Hari Dass was an Indian yoga master, silent monk, temple builder, and commentator of Indian scriptural traditions of dharma and moksha. He was classically trained in the Ashtanga of Patanjali, as well as Kriya yoga, Ayurveda, Samkhya, Sri Vidya, Tantra, Vedanta, and Sanskrit.

"Teach to learn. Watch yourself before you teach."
"Pleasure has desire in it. Desire is pain. There is no satisfaction. So pleasure is pain."
"Using siddhis (powers) is not good for those who possess them. It can also trap the mind into desires. By being pure in mind siddhis will come by itself, and a yogi should not try to show his powers. First thing is to have siddhis and then not to get trapped in siddhis."
"..it was well known to people (in Kumoan villages) that Babaji Maharajs (Hariakhan Baba) age was several thousand years and that he was present at the War of Mahabharata at the time of Krishna."
"Religion of your upbringing is like a cloak - you must know how it is made in order to take it off."
