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

The Self is the heart, self-luminous. Illumination arises from the heart and reaches the brain, which is the seat of the mind. The world is seen with the mind; so you see the world by the reflected light of the Self.

When the mind is left without anything to cling to, it becomes still.

Nearly all mankind is more or less unhappy because nearly all do not know the true Self. Real happiness abides in Self-knowledge alone. All else is fleeting. To know one’s Self is to be blissful always.

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.

Range is of the ego, form is of the soul.

The ego is kind of a big, unwieldy thing. It’s not so easily tamed or subdued.

So many complaints boil down to the belly ache of the fragile, mortal, ignored ego in a vast and indifferent universe.

You sharpen the human appetite to the point where it can split atoms with its desire; you build egos the size of cathedrals; fiber-optically connect the world to every eager impulse.

That which is threatening to the ego is liberating to the heart.

They say that only very good friends quarrel. But at the end of the day a quarrel is a fight between two people’s egos.

My ego only needs a good rhythm section.

I was stubborn and refused to chase, I threw my ego away and chased; it does not matter. Some people are just not meant to be.
