“Seeing God without seeing the Self, one sees only mental image. Only he who has seen Himself has seen God, since he has lost individuality, and now sees nothing but God.”

Time is only an idea. There is only the Reality. Whatever you think it is, it looks like that.

The Self itself is the world; the Self itself is ‘I’; the Self itself is God; all is Siva, the Self.

Correcting oneself is correcting the whole world. The Sun is simply bright. It does not correct anyone. Because it shines, the whole world is full of light. Transforming yourself is a means of giving light to the whole world.

The ultimate truth is so simple. It is nothing more than being in the pristine state. This is all that needs to be said. Only mature minds can grasp the simple truth in all its nakedness.

The fact is that you are not the body. The Self does not move but the world moves in it. You are only what you are.

If you observe awareness steadily, this awareness itself becomes the Guru that will reveal the Truth.

Take no notice of the ego and its activities, but see only the light behind.

Let what comes come, let what goes go.

When we turn the mind inwards, God manifests as the inner consciousness.

This perception of division between the seer and the object that is seen, is situated in the mind. For those remaining in the heart, the seer becomes one with the sight.

What message is needed when heart speaks to heart?

If there is anything besides the Self there is reason to fear? Who sees the second? First, the ego arises and sees objects as external. If the ego does not rise, the Self alone exists and there is no second.

Existence of Isvara follows our conception of Isvara. Let us first know whose concept He is. The concept will be only according to the one who conceives. Find out who you are and the other problem will solve itself.

Self-inquiry is the process and the goal also. ‘I am’ is the goal and the final reality. To hold to it with effort is self-inquiry. When spontaneous and natural it is realization.

He that sees the Lord in the temple, the living body, by seeking Him within, can alone see Him, the Infinite, in the temple of the universe, having become the Endless Eye.

When one makes the mind stick to one thought, the mind becomes rock-steady and the energy is conserved.

Radio, which was a much better medium than television will ever be, was easy and pleasant to listen to. Your mind filled automatically with images.

Images exist; things themselves are images… Images constantly act on and react to one another, produce and consume. There is no difference between images, things and movement.

I see plainly how external images influence the image that I call my body : they transmit movement to it.

You get an image in the first couple of years of your career, and then whether you like it or not, you are stuck with it for the rest of your life.

There is in the Sacred Heart the symbol and express image of the infinite love of Jesus Christ which moves us to love in return.

I am what I am. I have not deliberately built an image for myself.

I designed my whole image. That was all me. I just bought some regular clothes, threw a medallion around my neck, and that was it. The next thing I know, that’s the look.

When I was six, God was a white man with a big beard riding on a white cloud. That’s the image television pumps.
