Purify your eyes, and see the pure world. Your life will fill with radiant forms.
Give up all desire for enjoyment in earth or heaven. Control the organs of the senses and control the mind. Bear every misery without even knowing that you are miserable. Think of nothing but spiritual freedom.
The mind once enlightened cannot again become dark.
Dare to think for yourself.
What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
The mind has to be empty to see clearly.
There is an art of seeing things as they are: without naming, without being caught in a network of words, without thinking interfering with perception.
You are the world and the world is you.
Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains.
The art of life is to live in the present moment.
Silence is truth. Silence is bliss. Silence is peace. And hence Silence is the Self.
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.
Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside.
Your own Self-Realization is the greatest service you can render the world.
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.
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.
The question ‘Who am I?’ is not really meant to get an answer, the question ‘Who am I?’ is meant to dissolve the questioner.
The thing to do is to concentrate on the seer and not on the seen, not on the objects, but on the Light which reveals them.
The state we call realization is simply being oneself, not knowing anything or becoming anything.
