The greatest healing would be to wake up from what we are not.
Feelings are just visitors, let them come and go.
When you drop all your ideas, fantasies and projections about who you are and what freedom is and remain completely empty, this is freedom.
In the spiritual journey, you cannot be a wine taster, you have to become a drunk.
Giving energy to the mind, is like giving your neighbour a gun to shoot you with.
Day by day become more and more intimate with the inner stillness, joy and love which is the fragrance your own pure heart. Keep quiet.
Face your fears and stop allowing the mind to hold you captive.
Actually, being what you are is the simplest. What is difficult is to stop being what you are not.
The greatest step towards a life of happiness and simplicity is to let go. Trust in the power that is already taking care of you spontaneously without effort.
You ask, ‘How to live my life?’ But with the question you are suffocating life itself, for life is spontaneity.
Feelings, by themselves, do not create problems. It is rather the tendency to interpret and analyze them. When out of habit you believe those interpretations, it is there that the suffering begins.
If you seek approval from others in this world, you will not know happiness.
Don’t let your mind see through your eyes.
Who reminds you to breathe and to beat your heart? Something is there, taking care...
Let it be whatever it will be. Give up trying to manipulate. This is Freedom.
You are learning too much, remembering too much, trying to hard relax a little bit, give life a chance to flow its own way, unassisted by your mind and effort. Stop directing the river’s flow!
I don’t have to be anything at all. I don’t even have to be myself, because there is no such thing as not being myself. I am inescapably myself.
If I could give you only one piece of advice, I would say: Don’t identify with anything. Be completely empty – no one. Be no-body and see if you lose anything but delusion.
We are identifying with what is passing so fear comes. We are trying to make steady and permanent what is by nature impermanent.
The nature of illusion is that, when you see through it, it disappears.
