Life is love and love is life.
I am that by which I know 'I am'
Multiplicity without strife is joy.
Whatever you come across - go beyond
In my world, nothing ever goes wrong.
It does not matter much what happens.
I am told I was born. I do not remember.
Earnestness is the most important thing.
The unexpected and unpredictable is real.
It is your restlessness that causes chaos.
The world you think of is in your own mind.
The real does not die, the unreal never lived.
Give up all ideas about yourself and simply be.
Past and future are in the mind only - I am now.
Nothing can trouble you but your own imagination.
Unless you know yourself, what else can you know?
The real you is timeless and beyond life and death.
You are not in this world. This world is inside you.
There is only life, there is nobody who lives a life.
The mind creates the abyss, and the heart crosses it.
To go beyond you need alert immobility, quiet attention.
The mind is what it thinks. To make it true, think true.
Love.. is seeing the unity under the imaginary diversity.
