The ultimate truth is so simple. It is nothing more than being in the pristine state. This is all that needs to be said. Only mature minds can grasp the simple truth in all its nakedness.
You are the Supreme Being, and yet thinking yourself to be separate from it, you strive to become united with it. What is stranger than this?
Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside.
Whatever is destined not to happen will not happen, try as you may. Whatever is destined to happen will happen, do what you may to prevent it. This is certain. The best course, therefore, is to remain silent.
Your own Self-Realization is the greatest service you can render the world.
Forgetfulness of your real nature is true death; remembrance of it is rebirth.
Your true nature is that of infinite spirit. The feeling of limitation is the work of the mind.
There is neither past nor future. There is only the present. Yesterday was the present to you when you experienced it, and tomorrow will be also the present when you experience it. Therefore, experience takes place only in the present, and beyond experience nothing exists.
Of all the thoughts that rise in the mind, the thought ‘I’ is the first thought.
Peace is your natural state. It is the mind that obstructs the natural state.
Thoughts come and go. Feelings come and go. Find out what it is that remains.
There is nothing wrong with God’s creation. Mystery and Suffering only exist in the mind.
See who is the doubter, who is the thinker. It is the ego. Hold it; the other thoughts will die away – the ego will be left pure. See the source from where the ego arises and abide in it. That is pure consciousness.
What message is needed when heart speaks to heart?
You have to ask yourself the question ‘Who am I?’ This investigation will lead in the end to the discovery of something within you which is behind the mind. Solve that great problem and you will solve all other problems.
How to get rid of the mind? Is it the mind that wants to kill itself? The mind cannot kill itself. So your business is to find the real nature of the mind. Then you will know that there is no mind. When the Self is sought, the mind is nowhere. Abiding in the Self, one need not worry about the mind.
True Silence is really endless speech.
Transforming yourself is a means of giving light to the whole world.
If there is anything besides the Self there is reason to fear? Who sees the second? First, the ego arises and sees objects as external. If the ego does not rise, the Self alone exists and there is no second.
Grace is ever present. All that is necessary is that you surrender to it.
