I am aware, for I imagine nothing.
You can know reality only when you are astonished.
Reality is common to all. Only the false is personal.
You cannot destroy the false, for you are creating it all the time. Withdraw from it, ignore it, go beyond, and it will cease to be.
Earnestness is not a yearning for the fruits of one’s endeavors. It is an expression of an inner shift of interest away from the false.
To keep the mind in its own place and on its own work is the liberation of the mind.
Nothing stands in the way of your liberation and it can happen here and now, but for your being more interested in other things.
You cannot fight with your interests. You must go with them, see through them and watch them reveal themselves as mere errors of judgment.
Running after saints is merely another game to play. Remember yourself instead and watch your daily life relentlessly. Be earnest.
Do not try to know the truth, for knowledge by the mind is not true knowledge. But you can know what is not true.
The idea that you know what is true is dangerous, for it keeps you imprisoned in the mind.
There can be no salvation, without investigation, because non-investigation is the main cause of bondage.
What the mind has done the mind must undo.
