Trust does not mean that everything will be alright.
Trust means everything is already alright.

Real meditation is not about mastering a technique; it’s about letting go of control.
What’s the good of sacrificing yourself to the idea you want people to have of you?
The essence of all beautiful art, all great art, is gratitude.
Have a degree in gratitude. Graduate with gratitude.
If you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to. If you are not afraid of dying, there is nothing you cannot achieve.
If one meditates keenly on the state that prevails at the end of waking and just before sleep, one attains unending happiness.
When the goal is reached, when you know the Knower, there is no difference between living in a house in London and living in the solitude of a jungle.

The 'I' has no location. Everything is the Self.
Those who flow as life flows
know they need no other force.

As all waves are in the ocean, so are all things physical and mental in awareness. Hence awareness itself
is all-important, not the content of it.
is all-important, not the content of it.
Know well that the experience of Bliss exists only in Self and never in this life of delusion, and hence achieve Self-Knowledge, which is the Space of Grace and the final state of Supreme Silence.
"Who am I"
Question No 21: Is it necessary for one who longs for release to inquire into the nature of categories (tattvas)?
Bhagawan: Just as one who wants to throw away garbage has no need to analyse it and see what it is, so one who wants to know the Self has no need to count the number of categories or inquire into their characteristics; what he has to do is to reject altogether the categories that hide the Self. The world should be considered like a dream.

All religions are equal to me. And all castes and creeds are dear to me. But though I appreciate all `isms,' religions and political parties for the many good things they seek to achieve, I do not and cannot belong to any of these `isms,' religions or political parties, for the Absolute Truth, while equally including them, transcends all of them and leaves no room for separative divisions which are all equally false
If you want to understand or grasp Truth in the way that Buddha has, you will have to disappear personally.
There is no activity such as being the awareness or staying as awareness. That which is aware is simply aware beyond the concept of 'someone' being aware.
Your real nature is meditation, remain thoughtless at all the time.
We are like the spider.
We weave our life and then move along in it.
We are like the dreamer who dreams and then lives in the dream.
This is true for the entire universe.

What one fails to know by conversation extending to several years can be known in a trice in Silence, or in front of Silence - e.g., Dakshinamurti, and his four disciples.

This existence of ours is as transient as autumn clouds. To watch the birth and death of beings is like looking at the movements of a dance. A lifetime is like a flash of lightning in the sky, rushing by, like a torrent down a steep mountain.
Wise men don't judge: they seek to understand.
O Lord, O Compassionate One! What joy have I in this life
If my soul, like a bee, does not remain inebriated at Your lotus feet?

Question No 19: What is non-attachment?
Bhagawan: As thoughts arise, destroying them utterly without any residue in the very place of their origin is non-attachment. Just as the pearl-diver ties a stone to his waist, sinks to the bottom of the sea and there takes the pearls, so each one of us should be endowed with non-attachment, dive within oneself and obtain the Self-Pearl.

Ignore the mind the way you disregard the crowd you encounter in the streets.
All is attended to in the minutest detail and yet there is a sense of unreality about it all. So is the case with me. All happens as it needs, yet nothing happens. I do what seems to be necessary, but at the same time I know that nothing is necessary, that life itself is only make-believe.
AM I THE BODY/MIND?
‘I’is the first pronoun. The second pronoun is ‘am.’
When you realize "I am", you become free.
This is called ‘Being’.
Not being this or being that. Just plain Being.
IAM.
It's quite a different situation than identification with the body.
The body will continue to have experiences, yet you will not.
You will be free from the whole ball of wax.
Yet to other people, to others, it will appear as if you 're doing whatever you 're doing.
It appears as if what you 're doing is a reality. Yet when you discover the truth about yourself and you awaken,
you will no longer be connected to your body.
At the same time you will appear to be a body to others, and they will see the games you are playing.
But you will be free from that. Yet your body will continue to play the games.
It's a paradox.
Your body appears as the water in the mirage, as the snake in the rope.
But yet, when you awaken, you are no longer the body.
And there is nobody.
But the body appears to others as being real.
This is why when a Jnani dies, or appears to be suffering, nothing is really happening to the Jnani.
But to the ajnani all kinds of things are happening.
They see suffering.
They identify with sorrow, or death, and with everything else.
Therefore, I say to you, do not disturb yourself by these things.
Inquire "to whom do they come?" and be free.
