Don’t put on your awareness jacket only when trouble comes. Awareness is not a technique. It is not medicine. It is Freedom. Be free all the time.
You understand all this inside your Heart already. Just sometimes some distractions come, then you bring it back. You stay in this emptiness. Then you observe everything is happening spontaneously! You don’t have to force anything. Leave everything to life. Let life care for life, with your blessing.”
Attention is not the Ultimate. It's important. It's one of your most powerful instruments, because wherever attention goes we call this experience. But something observes attention also. That, which is behind attention, untroubled by the movements of mind, identify this now. A tsunami of thoughts cannot touch that one. It touches the popular identity; it affects the self-image; the ego. But the Absolute is absolutely untouched.
This meeting will not end in two. A sheep had a dream of meeting a lion. You know what the result is. There will only be One left.
Thoughts can only be strong for you
if you yourself are a thought.
if you yourself are a thought.
When a thought is powerful, it is because it has a lot of belief in it. At a certain point, thoughts become irrelevant. When they are irrelevant, the Self fully reveals itself in this moment.
Only when a human being becomes empty of ego does it become a vessel of the manifestation of the Supreme. When there is sufficient space made through the absence of the person, then the divine cannot hide. It must reveal itself as the Lord inside that form.
The one medicine for everything is to know your Self. You have to awaken to your true position as the formless witness of all that appears. When this recognition occurs, a great sickness is over, a great burden is set free, a joy is released and there arises within the heart tremendous gratitude to existence, to the Self, to God, to Truth.
Have a degree in gratitude. Graduate with gratitude.
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.
When will you admit that you are the Infinite?
You cannot get closer to Truth.
You can only awaken to the Truth that you are.
You can only awaken to the Truth that you are.
You say you want to find the Truth, that all you want now is freedom, but that it is so difficult. So I ask you now: Who is speaking here?
Who is speaking in your name? Is this really you?
Can it be the Truth that is saying all this?
The one that tries to get there, this voice nobody questions…
Something is saying, ‘I’m trying and I’m trying and I just can’t find It.’
But there is awareness of this voice, you see? It is seen.
At the final stages of the inquiry, these voices appear as the last bodyguards of this glass house of ego, this crystal palace. But they too, are seen.
The one that says, ‘All I want is to be that consciousness,’
and everybody goes: ‘So do we.’ Isn’t all this seen?
And where is it seen from, and by whom?
Verbal or mental answers cannot do. Answers are seen also.
Questions also are seen.
Actions are seen.
Desire is seen.
Body is seen.
The sense of stuckness is seen.
Blank is seen.
‘I’ is also seen.
I could go on and on like this.
Which means what?
You have to be evolved enough to recognise and confirm that you, the Seer, is nothing tangible, nothing phenomenal. What are you expecting to happen? What are you waiting for? Whatever that is or could be, will it be seen?

The one who is free is free of any intention,
even the intention of freedom.
even the intention of freedom.
When you drop all your ideas, fantasies and projections about who you are and what freedom is and remain completely empty, this is freedom.
Whenever I look at a thing, I am never located in that place. I am always at the source of every seeing. Perception of all things occurs to, and in, That which is beyond all locations.
Don't put your mind in front of you
to represent who you are.
to represent who you are.
Even to say ‘ I must trust existence’ is mind.
The ‘I’ who must trust , must itself, be mistrusted.
It is a riddle.
Find out for whom!

As far as the search for truth is concerned, 98% of our thinking is rubbish.
The remaining 2% is garbage.
Throw it all out and be empty! Truth cannot be caught by intellect alone - grace is needed.

If you keep indulging the mind's play, you will miss the untouched stillness inside the heart.
If you make human company too important
you will not discover your true Self.
Relationships not based in truth
are never entirely reliable and are rarely enduring.
Taking time to discover yourself is the best use of time.
Prioritise this.
One should not excessively seek partners or friends,
one should seek to know and be oneself.
As you begin to awaken to the Truth,
you start noticing how well life flows by itself
and how well you are cared for.
Life supports the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual needs of the one who is open to self-discovery.
Trust opens your eyes to the recognition of this.
Surrender allows you to merge in your own eternal being.

Perfection is shy to show her beauty.
She reveals it only inside a mind made serene through parting company with the ego.

Do you really want to erase all your deluded beliefs, memories, stories, tendencies and identities one by one, or would you prefer to find the factory where they are produced, and blow the whole thing up? I say this because right now, I don’t have time for all this tiny pruning.
You hold on to your little nail clipper, but I am giving you a great chainsaw to bring down this old tree of suffering.
This chainsaw is self-inquiry.
This is your good fortune.

What chance is there to discover the final Truth?
Here, with me, every chance, because I don’t accept you in the way you present yourself. This self-portrait I disregard. It is a poor work of art or heart.
You want to be here as Miss and Mr Sannyasin, Miss and Mr Hormone, Miss and Mr Spiritual, Miss and Mr Special, Miss and Mr Chosen, Miss and Mr Yogi…
I am sorry… not here. I have no space for you.
Try again another time.
When you run out of titles, come back.
But who will take this risk?

Who is the mind actually speaking to?...you assume it is to you, the Self...but is it only to your self-image, the ego which you imagine is your true self....but are you ready and willing to look at this?...There is a reluctance to question this, because it feels like gambling with everything you believe you have and are....we want to feel ok, but not k.o....you want to feel ‘okay’ with your projections rather than having them ‘knocked out!’...My encouragement to you is to stop protecting that which is suffocating your true freedom...
