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

There is nothing so simple as being the Self. It requires no effort, no aid. One has to leave off the wrong identity and be in his (her) eternal, natural, inherent state.

I Am’ is the name of God, God is none other than the Self.

We are so engrossed with the objects, or appearances revealed by the light, that we pay no attention to the light.

The pure mind is itself Brahman; it therefore follows that Brahman is not other than the mind of the sage.

An unawakened person sees only his mind, which is merely a reflection of the light of pure consciousness arising from the Heart.

The body dies, but the spirit that transcends it cannot be touched by death.

There is neither Past nor Future. There is only the Present.

Sense-perceptions can only be indirect knowledge, and not direct knowledge. Only one’s own awareness is direct knowledge.

You may go on reading any number of books on Meditation. They can only tell you ‘Realize the Self’. The Self cannot be found in books. You have to find it for yourself in yourself.

The “I” thought is said to be the sum total of all thoughts. The source of the “I” thought has to be inquired into.

It is within your competence to think and thus to get bound or to cease thinking and thus be free.

Good thoughts keep off bad thoughts. They must themselves disappear before the state of realization.

That is the ego which rises and sinks periodically. But you exist always. That which lies beyond the ego is consciousness – the Self.

Apart from the body does the world exist? Has anyone seen the world without the body?

Reality is simply the loss of ego. Destroy the ego by seeking its identity. Because the ego is no entity it will automatically vanish and reality will shine forth by itself.

Turn the mind inward and cease thinking of yourself as the body; thereby you will come to know that the self is ever happy. Neither grief nor misery is experienced in this state.
