The world has only as much power over you as you give it. Rebel. Go beyond duality.
Refuse all thoughts except one: the thought 'I am'. The mind will rebel in the beginning, but with patience and perseverance it will yield and keep quiet. Once you are quiet, things will begin to happen spontaneously and quite naturally, without any interference on your part.
To believe that you depend on things and people for happiness is due to ignorance of your true nature; to know that you need nothing to be happy, except Self-knowledge, is wisdom.
As long as the mind is there, your body and your world are there. Your world is mind-made, subjective, enclosed within the mind, fragmentary, temporary, personal, hanging on the thread of memory.
When I say 'I am', I do not mean a separate entity with a body as its nucleus, I mean the totality of being, the ocean of consciousness, the entire universe of all that is known. I have nothing to desire for I am complete forever
Your true meaning cannot be grasped or captured by words. You can never be equated with any words, because you are prior to words.
Seeking out causes is a pastime of the mind. There is no duality of cause and effect. Everything is its own cause.
Even for a moment do not think that you are the body. Give yourself no name, no shape. In the darkness and the silence reality is found.
Don't rely on your mind for liberation. It is the mind that brought you into bondage. Go beyond it altogether.
The consciousness in you and the consciousness in me, apparently two, really one, seek unity and that is love.
Love.. is seeing the unity under the imaginary diversity.
Would people know that nothing can happen unless the entire universe makes it happen, they would achieve much more with less expenditure of energy.
Give up all ideas about yourself and simply be.
You need not get at it, for you are it. It will get at you, if you give it a chance. Let go your attachment to the unreal and the real will swiftly and smoothly step into its own. Stop imagining yourself being or doing this or that and the realization that you are the source and heart of all will dawn upon you. With this will come great love which is not choice or predilection, nor attachment, but a power which makes all things love-worthy and lovable.
It is always the false that makes you suffer, the false desires and fears, the false values and ideas, the false relationships between people. Abandon the false and you are free of pain; truth makes happy, truth liberates.
The world you think of is in your own mind.
Suffering is due entirely to clinging or resisting. It is a sign of our unwillingness to move on, to flow with life
Whatever comes and goes, is not reality. See the event as event only. Then you are vulnerable to reality, no longer armoured against it, as you were when you gave reality to events and experiences.
Awareness is ever there. It need not be realized. Open the shutter of the mind, and it will be flooded with light.
All happiness comes from awareness. The more we are conscious the deeper the joy. Acceptance of pain, non-resistance, courage and endurance - these open deep and perennial sources of real happiness, true bliss.
In the stillness of the mind I saw myself as I am - unbound.
What has been attained may again be lost. Only when you realise the true peace, the peace you have never lost, that peace will remain with you for it was never away. Instead of searching for what you do not have, find out what is it that you have never lost. That which is there before the beginning and after the ending of everything, to That there is no birth nor death. That Immovable state, which is not affected by the birth and death of a body or a mind, that state you must perceive.
To see myself in everybody, and everybody in myself, most certainly is love.
Refuse to think in terms of this or that. All pain needs investigation. The mind is nothing else but the self. Assumption obscures reality without destroying it. All separation, every kind of estrangement and alienation is false..Your being a person is due to the illusion of space and time.The mind creates time and space and takes its own creations for reality.
Once you understand that the false needs time and what needs time is false, you are nearer the Reality, which is timeless, ever in the NOW.
