The world is but the surface of the mind and the mind is infinite.
When the mind is quiet it reflects reality. When it is motionless through and through, it dissolves and only reality remains.
Reality is so concrete, so actual, so much more tangible than mind and matter, that compared to it even diamond is soft like butter.
Just see the person you imagine yourself to be as a part of the world you perceive within your mind and look at the mind from the outside…
for you are not the mind.
See yourself in all that lives and your behavior will express your vision.
The very desire to live is the messenger of death, as the longing to be happy is the outline of sorrow.
Only what is compatible with your real being can make you happy and the world, as you perceive it, is its outright denial.
Keep very quiet and watch what comes to the surface of the mind. Reject the known, welcome the so far unknown and reject it in its turn.
Thus you come to a state in which there is no knowledge, only being, in which being itself is knowledge.
To know by being is direct knowledge.
Pleasure depends on things, happiness does not.
Pleasure…merely increases the false conviction that one needs to have and do things to be happy when in reality it is just the opposite.
Real happiness is utterly unselfconscious…best expressed negatively as: 'there is nothing wrong with me. I have nothing to worry about'.
Nothing is only an idea, it depends on the memory of something. Pure being is quite independent of existence.
Consciousness comes and goes, awareness shines immutably.
If you say 'I am aware', it only means: 'I am conscious of thinking about being aware'. There is no 'I am' in awareness.
In the state of non-duality all separation ceases.
Something you may call identity, remains…Love creates its own necessities, even of becoming a person.
It is only the mind that moves or does not move. The real is beyond, you are beyond.
To see everything as imagination, born of desire, is necessary for self-realization.
We miss the real by lack of attention and create the unreal by excess of imagination.
