70. God is the End of All Desire and Knowledge

You must unlearn everything. God is the end of all desire and knowledge.

By desiring you take the shape of your desires. When no desires remain, you revert to your natural state.

Desire is merely the fixation of the mind on an idea.

You can have all the emotions you want, but beware of reactions, of induced
emotions.

You have to give up everything to know that you need nothing, not even your body. Your needs are unreal and your efforts are meaningless.

Refuse to impersonate.

You can not know perfection, you can know only imperfection.

You can know what you are not, but you can not know your real being. You can be only what you are.

You know on contact that you exist—'I am'. The 'I am this', 'I am that' are
imaginary.

You are not what you think yourself to be, I assure you. The image you have of yourself is made up from memories and is purely accidental.

You are already perfect, here and now. The perfectible is not you. You imagine yourself to be what you are not—stop it.

Nothing compels. You are as you believe yourself to be. Stop believing.

Abandon all verbal structures, all relative truth, all tangible objectives. The Absolute can be reached by absolute devotion only.

In reality there is only perception. The perceiver and the perceived are conceptual, the fact of perceiving is actual.

The Absolute is the birthplace of Perceiving.
