Tirelessly I draw
your attention to the one incontrovertible factor – that of being. Being
needs no proofs – it proves itself. If only you go deep into the fact
of being and discover the vastness and the glory, to which the ‘I am’ is
the door, and cross the door and go beyond, your life will be full of
happiness and l...ight. Believe me, the effort needed is as nothing when
compared with the discoveries arrived at.

Be a spiritual pyromaniac ! Don't transform one kind of karma into another kind of karma...Just burn into ashes whichever karma comes your way! Burn the very seeds of Karma!
Look at yourself steadily – it is
enough. The door that locks you in is also the door that lets you out.
The ‘I am’ is the door. Stay at it until it opens. As a matter of fact,
it is open, only you are not at it. You are waiting at the non-existent
painted doors, which will never open.

The mind covers up reality,
without knowing it. To know the nature of the mind, you
need intelligence, the capacity to look at the mind in silent and dispassionate awareness.

The unchangeable can only be
realized in silence. Once realised, it will deeply
affect the changeable, itself remaining unaffected.

Refuse all thoughts except one: the thought 'I am'. The mind will rebel in the beginning, but with patience and perseverance it will yield and keep quiet. Once you are quiet, things will begin to happen spontaneously and quite naturally without any interference on your part.
Discover all that you are
not -- body, feelings thoughts, time, space, this or that -- nothing,
concrete or abstract, which you perceive can be you. The very act of
perceiving shows that you are not what you perceive.

Give up all
questions except one ‘who am I?’ After all the only fact you are sure of
is that you ‘are’. The ‘I am’ is certain, the ‘I am this’ is not.

Do not bother
about anything you want, or think, or do, just stay put in the thought
and feeling, ‘I am’, focusing ‘I am’ firmly in your mind. All kinds of
experience may come to you – remain unmoved in the knowledge that all
perceivable is transient and only the ‘I am’ endures.

Doer is of the mind; to use mind for any purpose,( even though for self realisation is to abuse it! Because "to do" presupposes a self identification with "doer". When we leave the mind to run by itself like a stomach, doer appears by itself when it is needed.
Earnestness is not a yearning for the fruits of one's endeavors. It is an expression of an inner shift of interest away from the false, the unessential, the personal.
Self-realization cannot be foretold. Some get it spontaneously; others do not get it even with much effort. When a particular stage is reached, there comes about an appropriate change, and the ground is suitably prepared. Then the mind, which wants to either acquire or get rid of something, will disappear.
Delayed response is wrong response. Thought, feeling and action must be one and simultaneous with the situation that calls for them.
Invariably the object of desire destroys the means of acquiring it and then itself withers away
The idea of enlightenment is of utmost importance. Just to know that there is such possibility changes one'sentire outlook. It acts like a burning match in a heap of saw dust. A spark of truth can burn up a mountain of lies.
By all means attend to your duties. Action, in which you are not
emotionally involved and which is beneficial and does not cause
suffering will not bind you. You may be engaged in several directions and work with enormous zest, yet remain inwardly free and quiet, with a mirror like mind, which reflects all, without being affected.

When you demand nothing of the world, nor of God, when you want nothing,
seek nothing, expect nothing, then the Supreme State will come to you
uninvited and unexpected.

When you know once with absolute certainty
that nothing can bring you in trouble

After blowing his nose, the Maharaj said that, when blowing your nose, if a little bit of the mucus gets on your hand, you don't look at it and cling to it or take pride in it as
Look at the word responsibility—“response-abilityâ€â€”the ability to choose your response. Highly proactive people recognize that responsibility. They do not blame circumstances, conditions, or conditioning for their behavior. Their behavior is a product of their own conscious choice, based on values, rather than a product of their conditions, based on feeling.
Science is defined by method, not by subject matter, and therefore are no texture gradations of correct methodology."
You are a spiritual being having human experience not a human being having spiritual experience.
You are the master and your mind is your servant.
Enlightenment is a full, permanent recognition of what one truly is, free of all false positions, speculations and other mental encumbrances. At the end of a hard day trading, it is enlightenment that is the only thing worth taking home from the spiritual marketplace.
When a human achieves full, deep relationship with the universe, he or she is able to directly interact with the Tao. To outsiders, this appears as a remarkable state. It is, however, the normal state of existence for humans. Humans simply live in a weakened state known as the Social Mind. This weakened state is considered a self-imposed slavery by enlightenment practitioners.
