Contemplate life as infinite, undivided, ever present, ever active, until you realize yourself as one with it. It is not even very difficult, for you will be returning only to your own natural condition.
Even faith in God is only a stage on the way. Ultimately you abandon all, for you come to something so simple that there are no words to express it.
What is beautiful? Whatever is perceived joyfully is beautiful. Bliss is the essence of beauty.
Your true meaning cannot be grasped or captured by words. You can never be equated with any words, because you are prior to words.
When you demand nothing of the world, nor of God, when you want nothing, seek nothing, expect nothing, then the supreme state will come to you uninvited and unexpected.
There is no second, or higher self to search for. You are the highest self, only give up the false ideas you have about your self.
If you could only keep quiet, clear of memories and expectations, you would be able to discern the beautiful pattern of events. Its your restlessness that causes chaos.
Leave your mind alone, that is all. Do not go along with it. After all, there is no such thing as mind apart from thoughts which come and go obeying their own laws, not yours. They dominate you only because you are interested in them.
The old grooves must be erased in your brain, without forming new ones. You must realize yourself as the immovable, behind and beyond the movable, the silent witness of all that happens.
To deal with things knowledge of things is needed. To deal with people, you need insight, sympathy. To deal with yourself, you need nothing. Be what you are – conscious being – and don’t stray away from yourself.
When you believe yourself to be a person, you see persons everywhere. In reality there are no persons, only threads of memories and habits. At the moment of realisation the person ceases.
Once you realize that the road is the goal and that you are always on the road, not to reach a goal, but to enjoy its beauty and its wisdom, life ceases to be a task and becomes natural and simple, in itself an ecstasy.
Awareness neither dies nor is re-born. It is the changeless reality itself.
Having realized that you cannot influence the results, pay no attention to your desires and fears. Let them come and go. Don’t give them the nourishment of interest and attention...
Words can bring you only up to their own limit; to go beyond, you must abandon them. Remain as the silent witness only.
There is nothing to do, just be. Do nothing. Be. No climbing mountains and sitting in caves. I do not even say “be yourself” since you do not know yourself. Just be.
Believe me, there is no goal, nor a way to reach it. You are the way and the goal, there is nothing else to reach except yourself.
Until we can look at fear and accept it as the shadow of personal existence, as persons we are bound to be afraid.
Cooperate with your destiny, don’t go against it, don’t thwart it. Allow it to fulfill itself.
The search for Reality is the most dangerous of all undertakings, for it destroys the world in which you live.
