If One Wants To Abide In The Thought-free State, A Struggle Is Inevitable. One Must Fight One's Way Through Before Regaining One's Original Primal State. If One Succeeds In The Fight And Reaches The Goal, The Enemy, Namely The Thoughts, Will All Subside In The Self And Disappear Entirely.

Grace Is Within You. If It Were External, It Would Be Useless.

The Source Of The Ego Is God.

Let Knowledge Be Guessed By The Sign Of Equality To All Beings.

No One Succeeds Without Effort... Those Who Succeed Owe Their Success To Perseverance.

Let What Comes Come, Let What Goes Go.

All Bad Qualities Centre Round The Ego. When The Ego Is Gone, Realisation Results By Itself. There Are Neither Good Nor Bad Qualities In The Self. The Self Is Free From All Qualities. Qualities Pertain To The Mind Only.

Does One Require Proof Of One's Own Being? Only Remain Aware Of Yourself And All Else Will Be Known.

Liberation Exists- And You Will Never Be Liberated.

The Experience Of Not Forgetting Consciousness Alone Is The State Of Devotion Which Is The Relationship Of Unfading Real Love, Because The Real Knowledge Of Self, Which Shines As The Undivided Supreme Bliss Itself, Surges Up As The Nature Of Love. Love Itself Is The Actual Form Of God. That Is Pure Bliss. Call It Pure Bliss, God, Self, Or What You Will. That Is Devotion, That Is Realization And That Is Everything.

If A Man Considers That He Is Born, He Cannot Avoid The Fear Of Death. Let Him Find Out If He Has Been Born Or If The Self Has Any Birth. He Will Discover That The Self Always Exists, That The Body That Is Born Resolves Itself Into Thought And That The Emergence Of Thought Is The Root Of All Mischief. Find From Where Thoughts Emerge. Then You Will Be Able To Abide In The Ever-present Inmost Self And Be Free From The Idea Of Birth Or The Fear Of Death.

Of All The Thoughts That Rise In The Mind, The Thought 'i' Is The First Thought.

Aim High, Aim At The Highest, And All Lower Aims Are Thereby Achieved. It Is Looking Below On The Stormy Sea Of Differences That Makes You Sink. Look Up, Beyond These And See The One Glorious Real, And You Are Saved.

Seeing God Without Seeing The Self, One Sees Only Mental Image. Only He Who Has Seen Himself Has Seen God, Since He Has Lost Individuality, And Now Sees Nothing But God.

If You Approach The Ocean With A Cup, You Can Only Take Away A Cupful; If You Approach It With A Bucket You Can Take Away A Bucketful.

If You Make The Thief The Policeman There Will Be Lots Of Investigation But No Arrests Will Ever Be Made.

From Where Does This "i" Arise? Seek For It Within; It Then Vanishes. This Is The Pursuit Of Wisdom. When The Mind Unceasingly Investigates Its Own Nature, It Transpires That There Is No Such Thing As Mind. This Is The Direct Path For All. The Mind Is Merely Thoughts. Of All Thoughts The Thought "i" Is The Root.

There Is Nothing New To Gain. On The Other Hand A Man Must Lose His Ignorance. That Is All.

Time Is Only An Idea. There Is Only The Reality. Whatever You Think It Is, It Looks Like That.

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.

The Pure Mind Is Itself Brahman; It Therefore Follows That Brahman Is Not Other Than The Mind Of The Sage.

By Constantly Keep One's Attention On The Source, The Ego Is Dissolved In That Source Like A Salt-doll In The Sea.

In Truth, You Are Spirit. The Body Has Been Projected By The Mind, Which Itself Originates From Spirit.

That Which Rises And Sinks Is Made Up Of What It Rises From. The Finality Of The Universe Is The God Arunachala. Meditating On Him Or On The Seer, The Self, There Is A Mental Vibration 'i' To Which All Are Reduced. Tracing The Source Of 'i', The Primal 'i-i' Alone Remains Over, And It Is Inexpressible. The Seat Of Realisation Is Within And The Seeker Cannot Find It As An Object Outside Him. That Seat Is Bliss And Is The Core Of All Beings. Hence It Is Called The Heart. The Only Useful Purpose Of The Present Birth Is To Turn Within And Realise It. There Is Nothing Else To Do.

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.

A Realized One Sends Out Waves Of Spiritual Influence In His Aura, Which Draw Many People Towards Him. Yet He May Sit In A Cave And Maintain Complete Silence.

Your Duty Is To Be, And Not To Be This Or That. I Am That I Am Sums Up The Whole Truth; The Method Is Summarized In Be Still.

Self Realization

...bliss Is Not Something To Be Got. On The Other Hand You Are Always Bliss. This Desire [for Bliss] Is Born Of The Sense Of Incompleteness. To Whom Is This Sense Of Incompleteness? Enquire. In Deep Sleep You Were Blissful. Now You Are Not So. What Has Interposed Between That Bliss And This Non-bliss? It Is The Ego. Seek Its Source And Find You Are Bliss.

It Is Within Your Competence To Think And Thus To Get Bound Or To Cease Thinking And Thus Be Free.

The More You Prune A Plant, The More It Grows. So Too The More You Seek To Annihilate The Ego, The More It Will Increase. You Should Seek The Root Of The Ego And Destroy It.

Your Duty Is To Be, And Not To Be This Or That.

Self Realization

Even In Intake, The One Steadfast Thought Is Said To Be The Natural State. Nirvikalpa Samadhi Will Result When The Sensory Objects Are Not Present.

Speaking Of Self-realizatio N Is A Delusion. It Is Only Because People Have Been Under The Delusion That The Non-self Is The Self And The Unreal The Real That They Have To Be Weaned Out Of It By The Other Delusion Called Self-realizatio N; Because Actually The Self Always Is The Self And There Is No Such Thing As Realizing It.

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.

Misery Does Not Exist In Reality But Only In Mere Imagination.

There Is No Mind To Control If You Realise The Self. The Mind Having Vanished, The Self Shines Forth. In The Realised Man, The Mind May Be Active Or Inactive, The Self Remains For Him.

If The Mind Falls Asleep, Awaken It. Then If It Starts Wandering, Make It Quiet. If You Reach The State Where There Is Neither Sleep Nor Movement Of Mind, Stay Still In That, The Natural (real) State.

The Degree Of Freedom From Unwanted Thoughts And The Degree Of Concentration On A Single Thought Are The Measures To Gauge Spiritual Progress.

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.

Happiness Is Your Nature. It Is Not Wrong To Desire It. What Is Wrong Is Seeking It Outside When It Is Inside.

Turn Your Vision Inward And Then The Whole World Will Be Full Of The Supreme Spirit.

Time Is Only An Idea. There Is Only The Reality. Whatever You Think It Is, It Looks Like That. If You Call It Time, It Is Time. If You Call It Existence, It Is Existence, And So On. After Calling It Time, You Divide It Into Days And Nights, Months, Years, Hours, Minutes, Etc. Time Is Immaterial For The Path Of Knowledge.

Remove The Ego And Avidya (ignorance) Is Gone. Look For It, The Ego Vanishes And The Real Self Alone Remains.

We See Only The Script And Not The Paper On Which The Script Is Written. The Paper Is There, Whether The Script Is On It Or Not. To Those Who Look Upon The Script As Real, You Have To Say That It Is Unreal - An Illusion - Since It Rests Upon The Paper. The Wise Person Looks Upon Both Paper And Script As One.

The Seat Of Realization Is Within And The Seeker Cannot Find It As An Object Outside Him. That Seat Is Bliss And Is The Core Of All Beings. Hence It Is Called The Heart.

The World Is So Unhappy Because It Is Ignorant Of The True Self. Man’s Real Nature Is Happiness. Happiness Is Inborn In The True Self. Man’s Search For Happiness Is An Unconscious Search For His True Self. The True Self Is Imperishable; Therefore, When A Man Finds It, He Finds A Happiness Which Does Not Come To An End.

Call It By Any Name, God, Self, The Heart, Or The Seat Of Consciousness, It Is All The Same.

The 'i' Casts Off The Illusion Of The 'i' And Yet Remains 'i'. Such Is The Paradox Of Self-realization. The Realized Do Not See Any Paradox In It. Consider The Case Of The Worshipper. He Approaches God And Prays To Be Absorbed In Him. He Then Surrenders Himself In Faith And By Concentration. And What Remains Afterwards? In The Place Of The Original 'i', Self-surrender Leaves A Residuum Of God In Which The 'i' Is Lost. That Is The Highest Form Of Devotion Or Surrender And The Peak Of Detachment.

Whenever A Thought Arises, Instead Of Trying Even A Little Either To Follow It Up Or To Fulfil It, It Would Be Better To First Enquire, "to Whom Did This Thought Arise?"

You And I Are The Same. What I Have Done Is Surely Possible For All. You Are The Self Now And Can Never Be Anything Else. Throw Your Worries To The Wind, Turn Within And Find Peace.

3. It Is Said That The I-activity Is The Root Of All Activities. From Where The I-thought Emerges, That In Short Is The Heart.

That Is The Ego Which Rises And Sinks Periodically. But You Exist Always. That Which Lies Beyond The Ego Is Consciousness - The Self.

To The Extent We Behave With Humility, To That Extent Good Will Result.

Happiness Is Not To Be Sought In Solitude Or In Busy Centers. It Is In The Self.

Is It The World That Says I Am Real, Or Is It You?

Thoughts Come And Go. Feelings Come And Go. Find Out What It Is That Remains.

Feelings Come And Go

A Higher Power Is Leading You; Be Led By The Same. It Knows What To Do And How To Do It.

Meditation Is Sticking To One Thought. That Single Thought Keeps Away Other Thoughts; Distraction Of Mind Is A Sign Of Its Weakness; By Constant Meditation It Gains Strength.

See What Helps You To Keep Away All Other Thoughts And Adopt That Method For Your Meditation.

It Is Said That The Heart Is In The Microcosm Just As The Orb Of The Sun In The Macrocosm. The Mind In Sahasrara Is Like The Disc Of The Moon.

The Seeker Himself Becomes The Knower. The Thing To Be Known Is Already There. There Is Nothing To Be Known Afresh. More-over There Are No Two Things. There Is Only The Seer, The Knower.

Realization Consists Of Getting Rid Of The False Idea That One Is Not Realized.

Actions Themselves Form No Bondage. Bondage Is Only The False Belief,"i Am The Do-er."

Surrender Is To Give Oneself Up To The Original Cause Of One's Being.

Existence Of Isvara Follows Our Conception Of Isvara. Let Us First Know Whose Concept He Is. The Concept Will Be Only According To The One Who Conceives. Find Out Who You Are And The Other Problem Will Solve Itself.

If A Person Realises His Position And Stays In His Own Self, Things That Are To Happen Will Happen. Things That Are Not To Happen Will Not Happen. The Shakti That Is In The World, Is Only One. All These Troubles Arise If We Think That We Are Separate From That Shakti.

When There Are Thoughts, It Is Distraction: When There Are No Thoughts, It Is Meditation.

The Self Itself Is The World; The Self Itself Is 'i'; The Self Itself Is God; All Is Siva, The Self.

The "i" Thought Is Said To Be The Sum Total Of All Thoughts. The Source Of The "i" Thought Has To Be Inquired Into.

What Exists In Truth Is The Self Alone. The World, The Individual Soul And God Are Appearances In It. Like Silver In Mother-of-pearl, These Three Appear At The Same Time And Disappear At The Same Time. The Self Is That Where There Is Absolutely No 'i Thought'. That Is Called 'stillness'. The Self Itself Is The World; The Self Itself Is 'i'; The Self Itself Is God; All Is Siva, The Self.

It Is Enough That One Surrenders Oneself. Surrender Is Giving Oneself Up To The Original Cause Of One's Being. Do Not Delude Yourself By Imagining This Source To Be Some God Outside You. One's Source Is Within Oneself. Give Yourself Up To It. That Means That You Should Seek The Source And Merge In It.

If One's Mind Has Peace, The Whole World Will Appear Peaceful.

By Whatever Path You Go, You Will Have To Lose Yourself In The One. Surrender Is Complete Only When You Reach The Stage `thou Art All' And `thy Will Be Done'.

Silence Is Truth. Silence Is Bliss. Silence Is Peace. And Hence Silence Is The Self.

Realisation Is Not Acquisition Of Anything New Nor Is It A New Faculty. It Is Only Removal Of All Camouflage

Why Should We... Constantly Worry Ourselves... As To What Should Be Done And How, And What Should Not Be Done And How Not? We Know That The Train Carries All Loads, So After Getting On It Why Should We Carry Our Small Luggage On Our Head To Our Discomfort, Instead Of Putting It Down In The Train And Feeling At Ease?

You Are The Witness Of The Three Bodies: The Gross, The Subtle, And The Causal, And Of The Three Times: Past, Present And Future, And Also This Void. In The Story Of The Tenth Man, When Each Of Them Counted And Thought They Were Only Nine, Each One Forgetting To Count Himself, There Is A Stage When They Think One Is Missing And Do Not Know Who It Is; And That Corresponds To The Void. We Are So Accustomed To The Notion That All That We See Around Us Is Permanent And That We Are This Body, That When All This Ceases To Exist We Imagine And Fear That We Also Have Ceased To Exist.

What Message Is Needed When Heart Speaks To Heart?

There Is No Seeing. Seeing Is Only Being.

God's Grace Consists In The Fact That He Shines In The Heart Of Every One As The Self; That Power Of Grace Does Not Exclude Any One, Whether Good Or Otherwise.

By Happy Fraternity Amongst Themselves, The Embodied Beings Get The Supreme Peace. Then All This Earth Shines Like One House. When The Men, The Embodied Beings Treat Each Other With Equal Respect And Have Good Brotherly Feelings Amongst Themselves, Great Peace And Harmony Abound. Then All This Earth Shines Like One House. The Whole World Shines Like The One Dwelling House Of The Entire Human Family.

Sense-perceptions Can Only Be Indirect Knowledge, And Not Direct Knowledge. Only One's Own Awareness Is Direct Knowledge.

You Do Not Like To Suffer Yourself. How Can You Inflict Suffering On Others?

The Question 'who Am I?' Is Not Really Meant To Get An Answer, The Question 'who Am I?' Is Meant To Dissolve The Questioner.

You Are All Searching For The Silence Of The Mountain. But You're Looking For Something Outside. This Silence Is Accessible To You Right Now, Inside The Center Of Your Own Being.

When The Mind Is Left Without Anything To Cling To, It Becomes Still.

He That Sees The Lord In The Temple, The Living Body, By Seeking Him Within, Can Alone See Him, The Infinite, In The Temple Of The Universe, Having Become The Endless Eye.

The Self Cannot Be Found In Books. You Have To Find It For Yourself, Within Yourself.

Without Seeing The Origin Of Light, The True Form Of One's Self, The Ordinary Man Sees By The Mind Different Things And Is Deluded.

He Whose Pure Mind Turns Inward And Searches Whence Does This 'i' Arise, Knows The Self And Merges In You, The Lord, As A River Into The Sea.

You Impose Limits On Your True Nature Of Infinite Being. Then You Get Displeased To Be Only A Limited Creature. Then You Begin Spiritual Practices To Transcend These Non-existing Limits. But If Your Practice Itself Implies The Existence Of These Limits, How Could They Allow You To Transcend Them.

Take Refuge In Silence. You Can Be Here Or There Or Anywhere. Fixed In Silence, Established In The Inner 'i', You Can Be As You Are. The World Will Never Perturb You If You Are Well Founded Upon The Tranquility Within. Gather Your Thoughts Within. Find Out The Thought Centre And Discover Your Self-equipoise. In Storm And Turmoil Be Calm And Silent. Watch The Events Around As A Witness. The World Is A Drama. Be A Witness, Inturned And Introspective.

Once The Current Of Awareness Of The Self Is Set Afoot, It Becomes Everlasting And Continuous By Intensification.

Dive Deep Into The Chambers Of Your Heart. Find Out The Real, Infinite 'i'. Rest There Peacefully For Ever And Become Identical With The Supreme Self.

The Body Dies, But The Spirit That Transcends It Cannot Be Touched By Death.

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.

All That Exists Is But The Manifestation Of The Supreme Being.

When One Remains Without Thinking One Understands Another By Means Of The Universal Language Of Silence.

Silence Is Never-ending Speech. Vocal Speech Obstructs The Other Speech Of Silence. In Silence One Is In Intimate Contact With The Surroundings. Language Is Only A Medium For Communicating One's Thoughts To Another. Silence Is Ever Speaking.

Food Affects The Mind. For The Practice Of Any Kind Of Yoga, Vegetarianism Is Absolutely Necessary Since It Makes The Mind More Pure And Harmonious.

The Experience Of Silence Alone Is The Real And Perfect Knowledge.

It Will Come All Right In The End. There Is The Steady Impulse Of Your Determination That Sets You On Your Feet Again After Every Downfall And Breakdown. Gradually The Obstacles Are All Overcome And Your Current Becomes Stronger. Everything Comes Right In The End. Steady Determination Is What Is Required.

In Accordance With The Prarabdha Of Each, The One Whose Function It Is To Ordain Makes Each To Act. What Will Not Happen Will Never Happen, Whatever Effort One May Put Forth. And What Will Happen Will Not Fail To Happen, However Much One May Seek To Prevent It. This Is Certain. The Part Of Wisdom Therefore Is To Stay Quiet.

'i Am' Is The Name Of God, God Is None Other Than The Self.

We Dig A Well And Create A Huge Pit. The Space In The Pit Or Well Has Not Been Created By Us. We Have Just Removed The Earth Which Was Filling The Space There. The Space Was There Then And Is Also There Now.

The Greatest Obstacle To Enlightenment Is Getting Past Your Delusion That You Are Not Already Enlightened.

Whatever Be The Means Adopted, You Must At Last Return To The Self, So Why Not Abide As The Self Here And Now?

Instead Of Indulging In Mere Speculation, Devote Yourself Here And Now To The Search For The Truth That Is Ever Within You.

Pure Consciousness, Which Is The Heart, Includes All, And Nothing Is Outside Or Apart From It. That Is The Ultimate Truth.

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.

The End Of All Wisdom Is Love, Love, Love.

Place Your Burden At The Feet Of The Lord Of The Universe Who Is Ever Victorious And Accomplishes Everything. Remain All The Time Steadfast In The Heart, In The Transcendental Absolute. God Knows The Past, Present And Future. He Will Determine The Future For You And Accomplish The Work. What Is To Be Done Will Be Done At The Proper Time. Don't Worry. Abide In The Heart And Surrender Your Acts To The Divine.

Non-action Is Unceasing Activity. The Sage Is Characterized By Eternal And Intense Activity. His Stillness Is Like The Apparent Stillness Of A Fast Rotating Gyroscope.

Till You Reach The State Of Jnana And Thus Wake Out Of Maya You Must Do Social Service By Relieving Suffering Whenever You See It. But Even Then You Must Do It Without Ahankara, I.e., Without The Sense Of 'i Am The Doer', But With The Feeling 'i Am The Lord's Tool'.

The Self Is Known To Every One But Not Clearly. You Always Exist.

There Is Neither Creation Nor Destruction, Neither Destiny Nor Free Will, Neither Path Nor Achievement. This Is The Final Truth.

The Sage Has No Thinking Mind And Therefore There Are No ‘others’ For Him.

...the Lord Of The Universe Carries The Entire Burden Of This World. You Imagine You Do. You Can Hand All Your Burdens Over To His Care. Whatever You Have To Do, You Will Be Made An Instrument For Doing It At The Right Time. Do Not Think You Cannot Do It Unless You Have The Desire To Do It. Desire Does Not Give You The Strength For Doing. The Entire Strength Is The Lord's.

Mind Is But A Poor Reflection Of The Radiant Heart.

Self-inquiry Is The Process And The Goal Also. 'i Am' Is The Goal And The Final Reality. To Hold To It With Effort Is Self-inquiry. When Spontaneous And Natural It Is Realization.

The Ego's Phenomenal Existence Is Transcended When You Dive Into The Source From Where The `i'-thought Rises

The Self Is The One Reality That Always Exists, And It Is By The Light Of The Self That All Other Things Are Seen.

There Is No Greater Mystery Than This, That We Keep Seeking Reality Though In Fact We Are Reality.

There Is No Greater Mystery Than This, That We Keep Seeking Reality Though In Fact We Are Reality. We Think That There Is Something Hiding Reality And That This Must Be Destroyed Before Reality Is Gained. How Ridiculous! A Day Will Dawn When You Will Laugh ... At All Your Past Efforts. That Which Will Be The Day You Laugh Is Also Here And Now.

If The Ego Rises, All Else Will Also Rise; If It Subsides, All Else Will Also Subside.

Grace Is Ever Present. All That Is Necessary Is That You Surrender To It.

A Man Does Not Have To Go And Find Where His Eyes Are In Order To See. The Heart Is There, Always Open To You, If You Care To Enter It, Always Supporting Your Movements, Although You May Be Unaware Of It. It Is Perhaps More Correct To Say That The Self Is The Heart. Really The Self Is The Centre And Is Everywhere Aware Of Itself As The Heart Or Self-awareness.

Turn The Mind Inward And Cease Thinking Of Yourself As The Body; Thereby You Will Come To Know That The Self Is Ever Happy. Neither Grief Nor Misery Is Experienced In This State.

Thinking Of You

To Ask The Mind To Kill Itself Is Like Making The Thief The Policeman. He Will Go With You And Pretend To Catch The Thief, But Nothing Will Be Gained. So You Must Turn Inward And See Where The Mind Rises From, And Then It Will Cease To Exist.

Discover Your Undying Self And Be Immortal And Happy.

The Entire Universe Is Condensed In The Body, And The Entire Body In The Heart. Thus The Heart Is The Nucleus Of The Whole Universe.

You May Go On Reading Any Number Of Books On Meditation. They Can Only Tell You ‘realize The Self’. The Self Cannot Be Found In Books. You Have To Find It For Yourself In Yourself.

Keep The Remembrance Of Your Real Nature Alive, Even While Working, And Avoid Haste Which Causes You To Forget. Be Deliberate. Practice Meditation To Still The Mind And Cause It To Become Aware Of Its True Relationship To The Self Which Supports It. Do Not Imagine That It Is You Who Are Doing The Work. Think That Is The Underlying Current Which Is Doing It. Identify Yourself With The Current.

If You Go On Working With The Light Available, You Will Meet Your Master, As He Himself Will Be Seeking You.

The Fact Is That The Mind Is Only A Bundle Of Thoughts. The Mind Is Fattened By New Thoughts Rising Up. Therefore It Is Foolish To Attempt To Kill The Mind By Means Of The Mind. The Only Way Of Doing It Is To Find Its Source And Hold On To It. The Mind Will Then Fade Away Of Its Own Accord.

The Search "who Am I"...ends In The Annihilation Of The Illusory "i" And The Self Which Remains Over Will Be As Clear As A Gooseberry In The Palm Of One's Hand.

Silence Is Most Powerful. Speech Is Always Less Powerful Than Silence.

The Fact Is That You Are Not The Body. The Self Does Not Move But The World Moves In It. You Are Only What You Are.

Knowing The Self, God Is Known.

Mind Is A Wonderful Force Inherent In The Self.

Happiness Is Your Real Nature. You Identify With Yourself With The Body And Mind, Feel It's Limitations, And Suffer. Realize Your True Self In Order To Open The Store Of Happiness. That True Self Is The Reality, The Supreme Truth, Which Is The Self Of All The World You Now See, The Self Of All The Selves, The One Real, The Supreme, The Eternal Self - As Distinct From The Ego Or The Bodily Idea For The Self.

If You Go The Way Of Your Thoughts You Will Be Carried Away By Them And You Will Find Yourself In An Endless Maze.

Finding Yourself

God Dwells In You, As You, And You Don't Have To 'do' Anything To Be God-realized Or Self-realized, It Is Already Your True And Natural State. Just Drop All Seeking, Turn Your Attention Inward, And Sacrifice Your Ego Mind To The One Self Radiating In The Heart Of Your Very Being. For This To Be Your Own Presently Lived Experience, Self-inquiry Meditation Is A Direct And Immediate Way.

If You Hold This Feeling Of ‘i’ Long Enough And Strongly Enough, The False ‘i’ Will Vanish Leaving Only The Unbroken Awareness Of The Real, Immanent ‘i’, Consciousness Itself

Grace Is Within You. Grace Is Your Self. Grace Is Not Something To Be Acquired From Others. If It Is External, It Is Useless. All That Is Necessary Is To Know Its Existence Is In You. You Are Never Out Of Its Operation.

I See Only What You See, But I Notice What I See.

When You Truly Feel This Equal Love For All, When Your Heart Has Expanded So Much That It Embraces The Whole Of Creation, You Will Certainly Not Feel Like Giving Up This Or That. You Will Simply Drop Off From Secular Life As A Ripe Fruit Drops From The Branch Of A Tree. You Will Feel That The Whole World Is Your Home.

The Enemy Hates The Ego, Which The Seeker Wants To Kill; Thus, Like The Anvil To The Goldsmith, He Is Actually A Friend.

Peace Is The Inner Nature Of Humankind. If You Find It Within Yourself, You Will Then Find It Everywhere.

You Are Already That Which You Seek.

Boost Self Esteem

Boost Self Confidence

When One Makes The Mind Stick To One Thought, The Mind Becomes Rock-steady And The Energy Is Conserved.

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.

Apart From Thoughts, There Is No Independent Entity Called The World. In Deep Sleep There Are No Thoughts, And There Is No World. In The States Of Waking And Dream, There Are Thoughts, And There Is A World Also. Just As The Spider Emits The Thread (of The Web) Out Of Itself And Again Withdraws It Into Itself, Likewise The Mind Projects The World Out Of Itself And Again Resolves It Into Itself.

See Who Is The Subject; And This Inquiry Leads You To Pure Consciousness Beyond The Subject.

Engage Yourself In The Living Present. The Future Will Take Care Of Itself.

As You Are, So Is The World.

Whatever Is Done Lovingly, With Righteous Purity And With Peace Of Mind, Is A Good Action. Everything Which Is Done With The Stain Of Desire And With Agitation Filling The Mind Is Classified As A Bad Action.

Good Thoughts Keep Off Bad Thoughts. They Must Themselves Disappear Before The State Of Realization.

You Are Awareness. Awareness Is Another Name For You. Since You Are Awareness There Is No Need To Attain Or Cultivate It. All That You Have To Do Is To Give Up Being Aware Of Other Things, That Is Of The Not-self. If One Gives Up Being Aware Of Them Then Pure Awareness Alone Remains, And That Is The Self.

Know That The Eradication Of The Identification With The Body Is Charity, Spiritual Austerity And Ritual Sacrifice; It Is Virtue, Divine Union And Devotion; It Is Heaven, Wealth, Peace And Truth; It Is Grace; It Is The State Of Divine Silence; It Is The Deathless Death; It Is Jnana, Renunciation, Final Liberation And Bliss.

All That Is Required To Realise The Self Is To “be Still.

Even The Structure Of The Atom Has Been Found By The Mind. Therefore The Mind Is Subtler Than The Atom. That Which Is Behind The Mind, Namely The Individual Soul, Is Subtler Than The Mind.

For Those Who Have Obtained Unobstructed Knowledge Of Self, The World Is Seen Merely As A Bondage Causing Imagination.

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?

The State We Call Realization Is Simply Being Oneself, Not Knowing Anything Or Becoming Anything.

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.

If You Observe Awareness Steadily, This Awareness Itself Becomes The Guru That Will Reveal The Truth.

Doubts Arise Because Of An Absence Of Surrender.

He Who Thinks He Is The Doer Is Also The Sufferer.

That Alone Is Real Which Exists By Itself, Which Reveals Itself By Itself And Which Is Eternal And Unchanging.

There Must Be A Subject To Know The Good And Evil. Thatsubject Is The Ego.

The Explorers Seek Happiness In Finding Curiosities, Discovering New Lands And Undergoing Risks In Adventures. They Are Thrilling. But Where Is Pleasure Found? Only Within. Pleasure Is Not To Be Sought In The External World.

The State Of Self-realization, As We Call It, Is Not Attaining Something New Or Reaching Some Goal Which Is Far Away, But Simply Being That Which You Always Are And Which You Always Have Been.

Yogas Chitta Vritti Nirodhah - (yoga Is To Check The Mind From Changing) - Which Is Acceptable To All. That Is Also The Goal Of All. The Method Is Chosen According To One's Own Fitness. The Goal For All Is The Same. Yet Different Names Are Given To The Goal Only To Suit The Process Preliminary To Reaching The Goal. Bhakti, Yoga, Jnana Are All The Same.

The Main Factor In Meditation Is To Keep The Mind Active In Its Own Pursuit Without Taking In External Impressions Or Thinking Of Other Matters.

True Silence Is Really Endless Speech.

What Comes Will Also Go. What Always Is Will Alone Remain.

Meditation Applies The Brakes To The Mind.

Meditation Practice

Realisation Is Our Nature. It Is Nothing New To Be Gained. What Is New Cannot Be Eternal. Therefore There Is No Need For Doubting If One Would Lose Or Gain The Self.

Mind Is Consciousness Which Has Put On Limitations. You Are Originally Unlimited And Perfect. Later You Take On Limitations And Become The Mind.

We Loosely Talk Of Self-realization, For Lack Of A Better Term. But How Can One Realize That Which Alone Is Real? All We Need To Do Is To Give Up Our Habit Of Regarding As Real That Which Is Unreal. All Religious Practices Are Meant Solely To Help Us Do This.

To Know One's Self Is To Be Blissful Always.

Self Realization

The World Is Not Outside You.

The Solution To Your Problem Is To See Who Has It.

Words Of Wisdom

There Is Nothing Wrong With God's Creation. Mystery And Suffering Only Exist In The Mind.

The State Of Liberated Being Can Be Reached Only By "dying"; But (this) Dying Does Not Consist In Destruction Of The Body; One Should Understand That True Death Is The Extinction Of The Ideas "i" And "mine."

When The Mind, One-pointed And Fully Focused, Knows The Supreme Silence In The Heart, This Is True Learning.

You Know That You Know Nothing. Find Out That Knowledge.

The Activity Affected By Causes Like Fainting, Sleep, Excessive Joy, Grief, Possession By Spirits, Fear Etc Goes To The Heart, Its Own Place.

The Very Fact That We Wish For Liberation Shows That Freedom From All Bondage Is Our Real Nature. It Is Not To Be Freshly Acquired. All That Is Necessary Is To Get Rid Of The False Notion That We Are Bound.
