You have to simply become aware of the movement of the mind, which begins this endless trouble.
You are all lions – so go your own way. Do not walk the beaten path like sheep, one after another. Do not follow any path. Lions do not follow each other like sheep.
Something is happening because of silence, because of peace, because of silence; if your mind is silent, if your mind is quiet, there is God, there is silence, this is the silence that is contagious.
Stop. Stop everything. Then you will realize you are the freedom you have been searching for.
Who is journeying for freedom? The one who is already free. Thoughts are impediments to seeing your own face. Don’t give rise to any thought, and discover who you are.
If you don’t know, then it’s all right. There need not be any expectations. If there are no expectations, then you are free. If you expect, then you are in bondage. Choose whatever you want. Expectations are never fulfilled.
It is all your desires that you see, when you think. But when your mind is quiet, without desire, you are complete and as wonderful as you have always been.
I am your own self and the self of all beings that exist.
When anybody laughs, he has no mind, no thought, no problem, no suffering.
If you see the illusion you are enlightened, but if you think that you are enlightened you are in the illusion!
Look after everybody So that they are happy to see you. It is better to serve the devotee of god than to serve god himself.
Always remember: The thieves of Peace are thieves in an empty house because only imagination suffers. You are Peace, that which remains Untouched.
If there is peace in your mind, you will find peace with everybody. If your mind is agitated, you will find agitation everywhere. So first find peace within and you will see this inner peace reflected everywhere else. Where else will you find peace if not within you?
The whole world is your own Self. So who is good and who is bad?
No monastery has been successful at producing enlightenment. It has been tried; there are no shortcuts.
Look here and know who you are. Instantly you will find freedom, and this suffering – hitchhiking from womb to womb – will instantly stop. The only way is to look within.
All desires actually end in freedom. Your desire is fulfilled and you are empty. The emptiness brings you happiness, but it is unconscious. You attribute your happiness to a possession, not the emptiness. It is the freedom from desire that gives you happiness.
There may be one thousand mirrors, each reflecting a different reflection of the sun. There are not one thousand suns, there is one sun shining in all. Reflections may be different, Sun is the same. Sun is one, shining in everything, in every atom, same.
If you practice, you will only become fatigued. When you are fatigued, you throw away everything. At that instant, you are free. To get rid of everything is freedom. Everything that you do suggests “Get rid of me.” To get rid of desires is freedom, freedom from the function of the mind.
Go deeper, go deeper. Don’t land anywhere.
