“You think, you become that thought. And consciousness, or the state of pure awareness, is lost.”

You can experience consciousness now by experiencing the fact that you exist.

You can’t realise love or yourself until you are still enough to drop down through the restlessness and frustrations into that deeper level of your being

Truth does not need argument, agreement, theories or beliefs. There is only one test for it and that is to ask yourself ‘Is the statement true or false in my experience?’

The whole purpose of existence is to bring love into existence where it is needed.

To experience beauty, love, truth and peace, or God, your mind has to be stilled.

You can only get next to God through the effort of preparation. To experience the uncreated, the state of awareness will have to be held for several minutes. You are then between time and the time-less – waiting for the unknown, which will come but cannot be willed.

You must not believe anyone in the search for truth; you have to find out for yourself. But although you are on your own, help will come when it is really needed.

Nothing is true in self-discovery unless it is true in your own experience. This is the only protection against the robot levels of the mind.

Truth cannot be taught but it is quickly recognised by the person ready to discover it.

We can rarely see things from the point of view of another person because we look at the facts through the screen of an impression or an interest which distorts our view; and then there are accusations, quarrels and misunderstandin.

Feelings are constantly changing. None is dependable for long. You can love someone intensely today, and tomorrow or next month not feel a thing. Except perhaps for the feeling of doubt or depression that what was so beautiful could change so quickly.

Any product of the mind is a reaction of the past, a synthesis of what is old.

Love is the state of enlightenment and enlightenment is the state of love. You can’t make any separation between them. Enlightenment is the state of no feelings and pure knowledge and so is love.

Love is all around you like the air, and is the very breath of your being.

Anything that is said is not the truth. It is a statement of truth, and no statement is the truth.

Keep a constant awareness and a conscious effort to say good words, perform good actions, and to practice patience and compassion.

Learning to cultivate an awareness of the known and unknown within one’s being often leads to a healthier and more realistic sense of self.

The only chance for much intellectual improvement in the female sex, was to be found in the families of the educated class and in occasional intercourse with the learned.

When the will to learn from the ordinary is present, a seeker may indeed gain entrance into levels of awareness that are extraordinary.

I want to create awareness amongst the common people of Pakistan and I generally appeal to the Pakistani people living here and abroad for help and they provide me with the necessary resources.

And to secure for the next generation a legacy of choices based on informed awareness rather than one of reactions based on unknowing fear.

I do this work for the common people and part of that work is creating a general awareness of such problems as they exist because my work is beyond class, religion and creed.

A person’s awareness and perspective on his or her own lifestyle are far more important than any skill at sorting, storing, or whatever.
