“The Self alone exists. When you try to trace the ego, which is the basis of the perception of the world and everything else, you find the ego does not exist at all and neither does all this creation that you see.”

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.

A higher power is leading you; be led by the same. It knows what to do and how to do it.

If one’s mind has peace, the whole world will appear peaceful.

He whose pure mind turns inward and searches whence does this ‘I’ arise, knows the Self and merges in You, the Lord, as a river into the sea.

Our identification with the mind and body is the chief reason for our failure to know our self as we truly are.

Grace is not something outside or you.. In fact, your very desire for grace is due to grace that is already working in you.

Grace is always present. You imagine it as something high in the sky, far away, something that has to descend. It is really inside you, in your heart. When the mind rests in its source, grace rushes forth, sprouting as from a spring within you.

By constantly keep one’s attention on the Source, the ego is dissolved in that Source like a salt-doll in the sea.

The solution to your problem is to see who has it.

By whatever path you go, you will have to lose yourself in the one. Surrender is complete only when you reach the stage `Thou art all’ and `Thy will be done’.

That alone is Real which exists by itself, which reveals itself by itself and which is eternal and unchanging.

It is said that the I-activity is the root of all activities. From where the I-thought emerges, that in short is the heart.

If the ego rises, all else will also rise; if it subsides, all else will also subside.

The enemy hates the ego, which the seeker wants to kill; thus, like the anvil to the goldsmith, he is actually a friend.

The ego’s phenomenal existence is transcended when you dive into the source from where the `I’-thought rises.

If you hold this feeling of ‘I’ long enough and strongly enough, the false ‘I’ will vanish leaving only the unbroken awareness of the real, immanent ‘I’, consciousness itself.

The source of the ego is God.

Consciousness don’t evolve, it is the identification with ego that dissolves.

When I pass, speak freely of my shortcomings and my flaws. Learn from them, for I’ll have no ego to injure.
