Mistrust all, until you are convinced. The true Guru will never humiliate you, nor will he estrange you from yourself.
He who knows the mind as non-realized and realized, who knows ignorance and knowledge as states of mind, he is the real.
The known is but a shape and knowledge is but a name. The knower is but a state of mind. The real is beyond.
Do understand that to be, reality need not be known. Ignorance and knowledge are in the mind, not in the real.
You need not reach out for what is already with you. Your very reaching out makes you miss it.
To break the spell of the known the knower must be brought to the forefront. Neither is primary, both are reflections in memory.
You do not know what you are and therefore you imagine your self to be what you are not. Hence desires and fear and overwhelming despair.
You are the Supreme Reality beyond the world and its creator, beyond consciousness and its witness, beyond all assertions and denials.
Abandon all sense of separation, see yourself in all and act accordingly. With action bliss will come and, with bliss, conviction.
If you trust my words and put them to test, you will for yourself discover how absolutely true they are.
There is no body, nor a world to contain it; there is only a mental condition, a dreamlike state, easy to dispel by questioning its reality.
As you were acting on your old memories, act on the new one. Don't be afraid…there is bound to be a conflict between the old and the new.
If you put yourself resolutely on the side of the new, the strife will…end & you will realize the effortless state of being oneself.
If you ask for a proof before you venture, I can only say: I am the proof.
Gurus are like milestones…Each tells you the direction and the distance, while the sadguru, the eternal Guru, is the road itself.
Once you realize that the road is the goal and that you are
always on the road, not to reach a goal, but to enjoy its beauty and its wisdom…
life ceases to be a task and becomes natural and simple, in itself an ecstasy.
