The ultimate truth is so simple; it is nothing more than being in one’s natural, original state.
Guru, God and Self are One.
The man who has the sense of the body being himself cannot possibly worship God as formless; whatever worship he makes will be worship in form alone, not otherwise.
That alone is Real which exists by itself, which reveals itself by itself and which is eternal and unchanging.
Good thoughts keep off bad thoughts. They must themselves disappear before the state of realization.
Once the current of awareness of the self is set afoot, it becomes everlasting and continuous by intensification.
Realization is our true nature. It is nothing new to be gained. What is new cannot be eternal. Therefore there is no need to be doubting whether we would gain or lose the self.
Is it the world that says I am real, or is it you?
The Self does not move. The world moves in it.
If you go the way of your thoughts you will be carried away by them and you will find yourself in an endless maze.
Realisation is nothing new to be acquired. It is already there, but obstructed by a screen of thoughts. All our attempts are directed to lifting this screen and then realisation is revealed.
When there are thoughts, it is distraction: when there are no thoughts, it is meditation.
Nearly all mankind is more or less unhappy because nearly all do not know the true Self. Real happiness abides in Self-knowledge alone. All else is fleeting. To know one’s Self is to be blissful always.
Grace is always present. You imagine it as something high in the sky, far away, something that has to descend. It is really inside you, in your heart. When the mind rests in its source, grace rushes forth, sprouting as from a spring within you.
Mind is a wonderful force inherent in the Self.
Surrender is to give oneself up to the original cause of one’s being.
The inquiry “who am I” turns the mind inward and makes it calm.
The deeply learned ones know the mind as the directly expressed meaning of the supreme knowledge. The heart is the meaning aimed at. The Supreme is none other than the heart.
Grace is within you. If it were external, it would be useless.
This perception of division between the seer and the object that is seen, is situated in the mind. For those remaining in the heart, the seer becomes one with the sight.
