When awareness is turned on itself, the feeling is of not knowing. When it is turned outward, the knowables come into being. To say: "I know myself" is a contradiction in terms for what is "known" cannot be "myself".
If you really want to help a person, keep away. If you are emotionally committed to helping, you will fail to help. You may be very busy and be very pleased with your charitable nature, but not much will be done. A man is really helped when he is no longer in need of any help. All else is futility.
I do not claim to know what you do not. In fact, I know much less than you do.
To myself, I am neither perceivable nor conceivable; there is nothing I can point out to say: "this I am". You identify yourself with everything so easily; I find it impossible. The feeling "I am not this or that, nor is anything mine" is so strong in me that as soon as a thing or a thought appears, there comes at onc...e the sense "this I am not".
It is not what you do, but what you stop doing that matters.
The world is not objective and the sorrow of it is not avoidable. Compassion is but another word for the refusal to suffer for imaginary reasons.
Be nothing, know nothing, have nothing. This is the only life worth living, the only happiness worth having.
Stop, look, investigate, ask the right questions, come to the right conclusions and have the courage to act on them and see what happens. The first steps may bring the roof down on your head, but soon the commotion will clear and there will be peace and joy.
xperience, however sublime, is not the real thing. By its very nature it comes and goes. Self-realisation is not an acquisition. It is more of the nature of understanding. Once arrived at, it cannot be lost. On the other hand, consciousness is changeful, flowing, undergoing transformation from moment to moment. Do no...t hold on to consciousness and it contents. Consciousness held, ceases. To try to perpetuate a flash of insight, or a burst of happiness is destructive of what it wants to preserve. What comes must go. The permanent is
beyond all comings and goings. Go to the root of all experience, to the sense of being. Beyond being and not-being lies the immensity of the real. Try and try again.

Abandon every attempt, just be; don't
strive, don't struggle, let go every support, hold on to the blind
sense of being, brushing off all else. This is enough

The centre is a point of void and the witness a point of pure awareness; they know themselves to be nothing, therefore nothing can resist them.
To act from desire and fear is bondage; to act from love is freedom.
Time is death. Who waits, dies. Life is NOW only. Do not talk to me about past and future - they exist only in your mind.
Anyone coming here will be liquidated. He is not going to get anything.
There is no need of a way out! Don't you see that a way out is also part of the dream? All you have to do is see the dream as dream..Wherever it leads you, it will be a dream. The very idea of going beyond the dream is illusory. Why go anywhere?Just realize that you are dreaming a dream you called the world and stop l...ooking for ways out. The dream is not your problem. Your problem is that you like one part of the dream and not another. Love all, or none of it, and stop complaining. When you have seen the dream as a dream, you have done all that needs to be done.
Nothing compels. You are what you believe yourself to be. Stop believing. Leave it all behind you. Forget it. Go forth, unburdened with ideas and beliefs.
All knowledge flows from you, as all being and all joy. Realise that you are the eternal source and accept all as your own. Such acceptance is true love.
No true teacher indulges in opinions.
The universe is but a partial manifestation of your limitless capacity to become.
You know you
are sitting here; you know you are, do you require any special effort
to hold on to that ‘you are’? You know you are; abide only in that. The
‘I am’ principle without words, that itself is the God of all
‘Ishwaras’.

are in the mind and do not matter. Go within, go beyond. Cease being
fascinated with the content of your consciousness. When you reach the
deep layers of your true being, you will find that the mind's
surface-play affects you very little

My advice to you is very simple –
just remember yourself, ‘I am’, it is enough to heal your mind and take
you beyond, just have some trust. I don’t mislead you. Why should I? Do
I want anything from you? I wish you well – such is my nature. Why
should I mislead you? Commonsense too will tell you that to fulfill a
...desire you must keep your mind on it. If you want to know your true
nature, you must have yourself in mind all the time, until the secret
of your being stands revealed.

Once you have understood that nothing perceivable, or conceivable, can be yourself, you are free.
To work in the world is hard. To refrain from all unnecessary work is even harder.
