The personal needs a base, a body to identify oneself with, just as a colour needs a surface to appear on.

Your true meaning cannot be grasped or captured by words. You can never be equated with any words, because you are prior to words.

Nobody ever fails in Yoga....It is slow in the beginning and rapid in the end. When one is fully matured, realization is explosive.

You need not know what you are. Enough to know what you are not. What you are you will never know, for every discovery reveals new dimensions to conquer. The unknown has no limits.

Knowing that you are nothing is Wisdom, Knowing that you are everything is Love.

If you are angry or in pain, separate yourself from anger and pain and watch them. Externalization is the first step to liberation.

Awareness neither dies nor is re-born. It is the changeless reality itself.

Stop, look, investigate, ask the right questions, come to the right conclusions and have the courage to act on them and see what happens. The first steps may bring the roof down on your head, but soon the commotion will clear and there will be peace and joy.

To deal with things knowledge of things is needed. To deal with people, you need insight, sympathy. To deal with yourself, you need nothing. Be what you are--conscious being--and don't stray away from yourself.

Your burden is of false self-identifications—abandon them all.

The legitimate function of the mind is to tell you what is not. But if you want positive knowledge, you must go beyond the mind.

To find reality you must be real in the smallest daily action; there can be no deceit in the search for truth.

When all names and forms have been given up, the real is with you. You need not seek it.

You will get to your maturity quickly if you stay in the nothingness.

Only the people who have gone beyond the world can change the world.

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.

Just keep in mind the feeling 'I am', merge in it, till your mind and feeling become one. By repeated attempts you will stumble on the right balance of attention and affection and your mind will be firmly established in the thought-feeling 'I am'. Whatever you think, say, or do, this sense of immutable and affectionate being remains as the ever-present background of the mind.

The only thing required of you is to allow all your raging desires to relax into preferences. Then everything will be done through you and for you, not by you.

Stay open and quiet, that is all. What you seek is so near you that there is no place for a way.

Just as every drop of the ocean carries the taste of the ocean, so does every moment carry the taste of eternity.

What is beautiful? Whatever is perceived joyfully is beautiful. Bliss is the essence of beauty.

Between the banks of pain and pleasure the river of life flows. It is only when the mind refuses to flow with life, and gets stuck at the banks, that it becomes a problem.

To see the universe as it is, you must step beyond the net [the matrix]. It is not hard to do so, as the net is full of holes. Look at the net and its many contradictions. You do and undo at every step. You want peace, love and happiness, and work hard to create pain, hatred and war. You want longevity and you overeat. You want friendship and you exploit. See your net as made of such contradictions and remove them - your very seeing them will make them go away.
