The whole point of all these conversations is to leave your mind empty, not full. If you go away with learning, you have missed the opportunity.
You are the unchanging manifesting as the changefulness.
You have been an apprentice long enough; it is now time to shed your protective skin. Trust!
Throw everything away, forget about it all!
The ship is going by a mighty engine, and you are busy rowing.
Attention pays attention to a lot of things, but when attention pays attention to attention, then there is a stillness, and that stillness introduces you to your Self.
That which is revealed when thoughts are absent is also here when thoughts are present.
You are the somewhere you are trying to get to.
You cannot be anything that you point to.
Everything is happening spontaneously, and the witnessing of it is also happening spontaneously. Everything is already happening in natural balance.
Don’t be a storehouse of memories. Leave past, future and even present thoughts behind. Be a witness to life unfolding by itself. Be free of all attachments, fears and concerns by keeping your mind inside your own heart. Rest in being. Like this, your life is always fresh and imbued with pure joy and timeless presence. Be happy, wise and free.
Once you begin to recognise the divine gifts in life, you come to see that there are so many. Your life is abundant.
Live by the light of your own heart... but make sure this heart is silent and empty.
If you take yourself to be the body and mind only, you will die! When you discover yourself as awareness, the fear of death will not trouble you any longer.
You say you want to get rid of the noise, but you and the noise go together. You have to be you without ‘you’ and all noise will stop. The real You is the formless witness within. The person, the noisy one, is only imagined. To recognize this is Freedom.
There have been many yogis who have been doing these things, or have been having these experiences for years – and now they are searching for freedom.
Who can count how many lives we have tasted? Look at the stars. How old are they? And a star is not even sentient. You are sentient. How can you be less in age than a star? You don’t know at all. What you do know is that right now you exist and are here. All take this for granted. However, what should be known is what you are here as. And if what you are here as is clear, who knows this? You want to learn about so many things, but about yourself, you are not sure.
It does not matter what comes up. What matters is who you are, the one perceiving it.
The sage sees only the Self. The person sees lots of persons. One sees from wholeness, one sees from fragmentation. Both are you.
It’s natural that things go wrong sometimes – they go wrong so that they can go right.
