As long as there is the body and the sense of identity with the body, frustration is inevitable.
Only when you know yourself as entirely alien to and different from the body, will you find respite from…fear and craving.
Merely assuaging fears and satisfying desires will not remove this sense of emptiness you are trying to escape from.
Only self-knowledge can help you. By self-knowledge I mean full knowledge of what you are not. Such knowledge is attainable and final.
But to the discovery of what you are there can be no end. The more you discover, the more there remains to discover.
You cannot change your circumstances, but your attitudes you can change. You need not be attached to the non-essentials.
Only the necessary is good. There is peace only in the essential.
You cannot see the true unless you are at peace.
A quiet mind is essential for right perception, which again is required for self-realization.
Your desire just happens to you along with its fulfillment, or non-fulfillment. You can change neither.
You may believe that you exert yourself, strive and struggle. Again, it all merely happens, including the fruits of the work.
Nothing is by you and for you.
All is in the picture exposed on the cinema screen, nothing in the light, including what you take yourself to be, the person.
You are the light only.
Freedom is freedom from worry. Having realized that you cannot influence the results, pay no attention to your desires and fears.
Give attention to what worries you, that is all. After all, worry is mental pain and pain is invariably a call for attention.
In fear there is memory and anticipation, past and future. Attention brings you back to the present, the now.
The presence in the now is a state ever at hand, but rarely noticed.
Sadhana is only a vessel & it must be filled to the brim with earnestness, which is but love in action. For nothing can be done without love
Love your self wisely and you will reach the summit of perfection. Everybody loves his body, but few love their real being.
Your real being is love itself and your many loves are its reflections according to the situation at the moment.
Think over, feel out deeply what is really good for you & strive for it earnestly. Very soon you will find that the real is your only good.
It is not what you do, but what you stop doing that matters.
The people who begin their sadhana are so feverish and restless, that they have to be very busy to keep themselves on the track.
An absorbing routine is good for them. After some time they quieten down and turn away from effort.
In peace and silence the skin of the 'I' dissolves and the inner and the outer become one. The real sadhana is effortless.
All space and time are in your mind, which is a mere ripple in consciousness, which is awareness reflected in nature.
Awareness and matter are the active and the passive aspects of pure being, which is in both and beyond both.
Space and time are the body and the mind of the universal existence.
Every experience is my experience every form is my form.
What I take myself to be, becomes my body and all that happens to that body becomes my mind.
At the root of the universe there is pure awareness, beyond space and time, here and now. Know it to be your real being and act accordingly.
Circumstances and conditions rule the ignorant. The knower of reality is not compelled. The only law he obeys is that of love.
