100. Understanding leads to Freedom

It is the mind that is violent and also afraid of its own violence.

Unless you make tremendous efforts, you will not be convinced that effort will take you nowhere.

The self in relation to itself is neither violent nor non-violent, it is either aware or unaware of itself.

Just look at yourself as you are, see yourself as you are, accept yourself as you are and go ever deeper into what you are.

The destruction of the false is not violence.

The mind happens to me, I do not happen to the mind.

Resolutely reject what you are not, till the real Self emerges in its glorious nothingness, its 'not-a-thingness.'

It comes with understanding, not with determination, which is but another form of memory. An understanding mind is free of desires & fears.

Become fully aware of your problem—look at it from all sides—watch how it affects your life. Then leave it alone—You can't do more than that

Do not expect perfection. There is no perfection in manifestation.

The world itself is a miracle. I am beyond miracles—I am absolutely normal.
