The wise grieve neither for the dead, nor for the living.
In my deepest wound
I saw your Glory,
And it astounded me.

And it was then that all these kinds of things thus established received their shapes from the Ordering One, through the action of Ideas and Numbers.
The jnani sees even his own body in action as if it were someone else's,
so how could he ever be disturbed by praise or blame?

There is nothing to learn at all (laughter).
Who has to learn?
The person who has to learn doesn't even exist.
It is the ego that wants to learn.
The mind wants to learn.
The ego believes it has to know knowledge.
It has to acquire wisdom.
But you are wisdom.
Wisdom is your real nature.
When the ego is gone then you know because you are the universe.
But the one who wants to know is the ego.

123 Does Karma Really Exist? – January 26, 1992
The Self does not move. The world moves in it.
The first thing to understand is that everything that has transpired in your life has been necessary.
No matter how it looks, no matter what has happened, everything has been necessary.
The second thing to understand is, everything has been preordained.
In other words, everything was supposed to happen the way it happened.
There were no mistakes.
The third thing to understand is that the first two things are all a pack of lies, for these things do not even exist in Reality.

You people are rich with your ideas of possession, of quantity and quality. I am completely without ideas.
There is only one of us. One consciousness manifesting into different forms.
Wherever you are, you are one with the clouds and one with the sun and the stars you see. You are one with everything. That is more true than I can say, and more true than you can hear.
The truth is, indeed, that love is the threshold of another universe.
There is a place in you where there is perfect peace. There is a place in you where nothing is impossible. There is a place in you where the strength of God abides.
At present we are conscious of ourselves as a set of adjuncts with object knowing consciousness in which our attention seemingly move away from the self towards the object with separation between knowing subject and known object. In self-enquiry we withdraw our attention from thoughts and objects so that attention rests in self without any oscillation. To posit our attention in this state is the aim of self-enquiry.
The realized person has no name, for they are sat-chit-ananda. They are Brahman, emptiness, all-pervading, never born, always has been, always will be. Those words will not come to you, but the feeling of being will come to you. Pure being. Not being this or being that, but absolute reality, pure awareness. That is the final result.
Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses.
Be quiet, don't think, don't make effort.
To be bound takes effort, to be Free takes no effort.
Peace is beyond thought and effort.
Do not think and do not make effort because
This only obscures That, and will never reveal That.
This is why keeping Quiet is the key
To the storehouse of love and peace.
This Quietness is no-mind, this no-thought is Freedom.
Identify yourself as this Nothingness, as this Quietness,
And be careful not to make it an experience
Because this is mind tricking you out of it
With the trap of duality; the trap of witness and witnessed.
Being is Being, there is no witness and no witnessed.
Experiencing it is to say "I am Free,"
Which is exactly the same trap as saying "I am bound."
After letting go of object
Do not hold onto the subject either.
Let go, Be Quiet.

If you are having trouble with your enthusiasm for sadhana, just tell yourself:
"I may be dead in seven days".
Let go of all the things that you pretend are important in your daily life and instead focus on the Self for twenty-four hours a day. Do it and see what happens.

Self-enquiry is the one infallible means, the only direct one, to realize the unconditioned, Absolute Being that you really are.
When the 'I-person' wakes up, trouble starts.
When the 'I-person' is observed and recognised to be only
an idea falsely believed to be the Real, troubles disappear.

How do I integrate spirituality into my everyday life?
Throw out the concept of "spiritual life" and "everyday life."
There is only life, undivided and whole.

Beyond the mind there is no such thing as experience. Experience is a dual state. You cannot talk of reality as an experience. Once this is understood, you will no longer look for being and becoming as separate and opposite. In reality they are one and inseparable, like roots and branches of the same tree. Both can only exist in the light of consciousness, which again arises in the wake of the sense ' I am'. This is the primary fact. If you miss this, you miss all.
When you can bear your own emptiness - you are free.
The heart can bear it all. No matter what your history is, no matter what your circumstances are, no matter how many lies you have told or covered up, in this moment, you have the capacity to come back to yourself and discover the complete truth of your being.
A human being has so many skins inside, covering the depths of the heart. We know so many things, but we don't know ourselves! Why, thirty or forty skins or hides, as thick and hard as an ox's or bear's, cover the soul. Go into your own ground and learn to know yourself there.
Looking for causes and results is but the pastime of the mind.
What is, is lovable.
Love is not a result, it is the very ground of being.
Wherever you go, you will find being, consciousness and love.
Why and what for make preferences?
