Sadhana is but a persistent attempt to cross over from the verbal to the non-verbal.
As long as you are interested in your present way of living, you will shirk from the final leap into the unknown.
Of the unknowable only silence talks. The mind can talk only of what it knows.
It is the full and correct knowledge of the known that takes you to the unknown.
The mind can talk only of what it knows. If you diligently investigate the knowable, it dissolves and only the unknowable remains.
The known, the changeable, is what you live with—the unchangeable is of no use to you.
The mind craves for content and variety, while reality is, to the mind, contentless and invariable…
It is also all-pervading, all-conquering, intense beyond words. No ordinary brain can stand it without being shattered…
Purity of body and clarity of mind, non-violence and selflessness in life are essential for survival as an intelligent and spiritual entity.
Reality is not shapeless mass, a wordless chaos. It is powerful, aware, blissful; compared to it your life is like a candle to the sun.
The unchangeable can only be realized in silence. Once realized, it will deeply affect the changeable, itself remaining unaffected.
I do not know, I am. I am, because to be, everything must be witnessed.
Witnessing, if not personal and actual, must at least be possible and feasible. Direct experience is the final proof.
Whatever may be the experience, true or false, the fact of an experience taking place cannot be denied. It is its own proof.
Watch yourself closely and you will see that whatever be the content of consciousness, the witnessing of it does not depend on the content.
Awareness is itself and does not change with the event.
Go to the root of it and you will soon realize that awareness is your true nature and nothing you may be aware of, you can call your own.
Reflected awareness, the sense ‘I am aware’ is the witness, while pure awareness is the essence of reality.
Between awareness reflected in consciousness as the witness and pure awareness there is a gap, which the mind cannot cross.
The real sees the real in the unreal. It is the mind that creates the unreal and it is the mind that sees the false as false.
The real is beyond experience. All experience is in the mind. You know the real by being real.
The timeless can be reached only by the timeless.
