Nothing troubles me. I offer no resistance to trouble – therefore it does not stay with me. On your side there is so much trouble. On mine there is no trouble at all. Come to my side.
We grow through investigation, and to investigate we need experience. We tend to repeat what we have not understood. If we are sensitive and intelligent, we need not suffer. Pain is a call for attention and the penalty of carelessness. Intelligent and compassionate action is the only remedy.
Laugh with people laughing, cry with people crying, but don’t fall into the river of world illusion. Stay on the banks.
Moods are in the mind and do not matter. Go within, go beyond. Cease being fascinated by the content of your consciousness. When you reach the deep layers of your true being, you will find that the mind’s surface-play affects you very little.
I am timeless being. I am free of desire or fear, because I do not remember the past or imagine the future.
To go beyond you need alert immobility, quiet attention.
You are really in search of yourself, without knowing it. You are love-longing for the love-worthy, the perfect lovable. Due to ignorance you are looking for it in the world of opposites and contradictions. When you find it within, your search will be over.
I am that by which I know ‘I am’
Seeking out causes is a pastime of the mind. There is no duality of cause and effect. Everything is its own cause.
By all means be selfish; the right way. Wish yourself well, labour at what is good for you. Destroy all that stands between you and happiness. Be all; love all; be happy; make happy. No happiness is greater.
The innermost light, shining peacefully and timelessly in the heart, is the real Guru. All others merely show the way.
If you are angry or in pain, separate yourself from anger and pain and watch them. Externalization is the first step to liberation.
When I look beyond the mind, I see the witness. Beyond the witness, there is infinite intensity of emptiness and silence.
The relinquishing of the lesser is the gaining of the greater. Give up all and you gain all.
Truth gives no advantage. It gives no higher status, no power over others; all you get is truth and freedom from the false.
Only the people who have gone beyond the world can change the world.
When all the false self-identifications are thrown away, what remains is all-embracing love.
You are so used to the support of concepts that when your concepts leave you, although it is your true state, you get frightened and try to cling to them again.
Let the dream unroll itself to its very end. You cannot help it. But you can look at the dream as a dream, refuse it the stamp of reality.
You need not know what you are. Enough to know what you are not. What you are you will never know, for every discovery reveals new dimensions to conquer. The unknown has no limits.
