“For those who have obtained unobstructed knowledge of Self, the world is seen merely as a bondage causing imagination.”

Under whatever name or form we worship It, It leads us on to knowledge of the nameless, formless Absolute. Yet, to see one’s true Self in the Absolute, to subside into It and be one with “It, this is the true Knowledge of the Truth.

There is no greater mystery than this, that we keep seeking reality though in fact we are reality.

Pleasure and pain are only aspects of the mind. Our essential nature is happiness.

Knowing the Self, God is known.

Realisation is not acquisition of anything new nor is it a new faculty. It is only removal of all camouflage.

The very fact that we wish for liberation shows that freedom from all bondage is our real nature. It is not to be freshly acquired. All that is necessary is to get rid of the false notion that we are bound.

When the mind, one-pointed and fully focused, knows the supreme silence in the Heart, this is true learning.

Bliss is a thing which is always there and is not something which comes and goes. That which comes and goes is a creation of the mind.

The grace of the Guru is like an ocean. If one comes with a cup he will only get a cupful. It is no use complaining of the niggardliness of the ocean. The bigger the vessel the more one will be able to carry. It is entirely up to him.

Grace is within you. Grace is your self. Grace is not something to be acquired from others. If it is external, it is useless. All that is necessary is to know its existence is in you. You are never out of its operation.

We are always peace. To get rid of the idea that we are not peace is all that is required.

See what helps you to keep away all other thoughts and adopt that method for your meditation.

The end of all wisdom is love, love, love.

Suffering is the way for Realization of God.

Dive deep into the chambers of your heart. Find out the real, infinite ‘I’. Rest there peacefully for ever and become identical with the Supreme Self.

Surrender is to give oneself up to the original cause of one’s being.

God sees us as we are, loves us as we are, and accepts us as we are. But by His grace, He does not leave us as we are.

I once tried standing up on my toes to see far out in the distance, but I found that I could see much farther by climbing to a high place.

I’m a mirror. If you’re cool with me, I’m cool with you, and the exchange starts. What you see is what you reflect. If you don’t like what you see, then you’ve done something. If I’m standoffish, that’s because you are.

I see that the greatest thing about getting older is how your judgment changes and how you come to understand the cycles of life. And you keep having these amazing flashes of understanding.

I write what I see, the endless procession to the guillotine. Were all lined up, waiting for the crunch of the blade…

Will not a tiny speck very close to our vision blot out the glory of the world, and leave only a margin by which we see the blot? I know no speck so troublesome as self.

..But maybe this was a defense mechanism. Maybe my mind was making me see things i refused to accept were gone forever. It was filling the void, because that was easier than letting go.

There’s a reason why there’s a problem with bodies, and it’s because you never actually get to see any normal versions of them.
