“Pure Consciousness, which is the Heart, includes all, and nothing is outside or apart from it. That is the ultimate Truth.”

The greatest obstacle to enlightenment is getting past your delusion that you are not already enlightened.

The main factor in meditation is to keep the mind active in its own pursuit without taking in external impressions or thinking of other matters.

Wanting to reform the world without discovering one’s true self is like trying to cover the world with leather to avoid the pain of walking on stones and thorns. It is much simpler to wear shoes.

All bad qualities centre round the ego. When the ego is gone, Realisation results by itself. There are neither good nor bad qualities in the Self. The Self is free from all qualities. Qualities pertain to the mind only.

Without knowing the Knower, all the knowledge that one gathers cannot be valid.

The Self is the one Reality that always exists, and it is by the light of the Self that all other things are seen.

Your duty is to Be, and not to be this or that.

The Self is here and now, it is the only Reality. There is nothing else.

You do not like to suffer yourself. How can you inflict suffering on others?

The entire Universe is condensed in the body, and the entire body in the Heart. Thus the Heart is the nucleus of the whole Universe.

The normal self is the mind. The mind is with limitations. But pure Consciousness is beyond limitations, and is reached by investigation into the “I.”

Non-action is unceasing activity. The sage is characterized by eternal and intense activity. His stillness is like the apparent stillness of a fast rotating gyroscope.

Nobody doubts that he exists, though he may doubt the existence of God. If he finds out the truth about himself and discovers his own source, this is all that is required.

When one remains without thinking one understands another by means of the universal language of Silence.

Whatever is destined not to happen will not happen, try as you may. Whatever is destined to happen will happen, do what you may to prevent it. This is certain. The best course, therefore, is to remain silent.

An intention is a quality of consciousness that you bring to an action.

Every intention sets energy into motion Whether you are conscious of it or not.

Were it not for the consciousness of Christ in my life, hour by hour, I could not go on. But He is teaching me the glorious lessons of His sufficiency, and each day I am carried onward with no feeling of strain or fear of collapse.

Real meditation is not done by us. It is done by our Inner Pilot, the Supreme, who is constantly meditating in and through us. We are just the vessel, and we are allowing Him to fill us with His whole Consciousness.

Ego is the immediate dictate of human consciousness.

Art is a form of consciousness.

Meditation is the dissolution of thoughts in Eternal awareness or Pure consciousness without objectification, knowing without thinking, merging finitude in infinity.

Illness is a part of every human being’s experience. It enhances our perceptions and reduces self-consciousness. It is the great confessional; things are said, truths are blurted out which health conceals.
