As long as the mind is there, your body and your world are there. Your world is mind-made, subjective, enclosed within the mind, fragmentary, temporary, personal, hanging on the thread of memory.
You are already perfect, only you don’t know it. Learn to know yourself and you will discover wonders.
There is no question of going anywhere, arriving anywhere, or doing anything; you are there already.
Meet you own self. Be with your own self, listen to it, obey it, cherish it, keep it in mind ceaselessly. You need no other guide.
Leave greatness to others. Become so small that no one can see you. This conviction results from growing devotion to the supreme reality.
Unless you make tremendous efforts, you will not be convinced that effort will take you nowhere. The self is so self-confident that unless it is totally discouraged it will not give up. Mere verbal conviction is not enough. Hard facts alone can show the absolute nothingness of the self-image.
Whatever you may have to do, watch your mind. Also you must have moments of complete inner peace and quiet, when your mind is absolutely still. If you miss it, you miss the entire thing. If you do not, the silence of the mind will dissolve and absorb all else.
Your burden is of false self-identifications – abandon them all.
Stop, look, investigate, ask the right questions, come to the right conclusions and have the courage to act on them and see what happens. The first steps may bring the roof down on your head, but soon the commotion will clear and there will be peace and joy.
Come to the conclusion: I am unborn, I was unborn and I shall remain unborn.
All you can teach is understanding. The rest comes on its own.
Abandon the false and you are free of pain; truth makes happy, truth liberates.
You’re free. You’ve taken this burden of being a human being on yourself. You’re free.
You take yourself to be limited, but you are not. Discover this. Stay silent and attentive. Be earnest about it. Just be aware of your being here and now. Reality will find you.
In nature nothing is at standstill, everything pulsates, appears and disappears. Heart, breath, digestion, sleep and waking – birth and death – everything comes and goes in waves. Rhythm, periodicity, harmonious alternation of extremes is the rule. No use rebelling against the very pattern of life.
In peace and silence, the skin of the ‘I’ dissolves and the inner and the outer become one.
Real happiness is not vulnerable, because it does not depend on circumstances.
To find reality you must be real in the smallest daily action; there can be no deceit in the search for truth.
It is not what you do, but what you stop doing that matters.
All will happen as you want it, provided you really want it.
