Real understanding, leading to liberation, takes place in Presence not in the person.
Therefore, your initial effort is to lift the consciousness from the personal state to the state of unmixed Presence.
Only when you are synchronised in Presence as Presence itself, does Self-discovering become an effortless joy.
Then Self-inquiry is not merely something you practise, it becomes the mirror you look into to see the face of God.

Don't try to change the world.
First, change yourself or rather, your self-perception, and you find the world automatically corresponding to the level of your understanding.
You will find that it has always been you who set the pace and depth of your experience by recognising and honouring your true nature.

When you realise the Truth of who you are, your whole life becomes religion.
Your very existence becomes service to the one Self, to Truth, to God.

Though the eyes may be open, let the seeing be empty of identity.
When life exposes your hidden flaws, avoid identifying with the reflex to defend or protect them. Instead, open you heart to the possibility of transformation and transcendence by saying 'Yes' inside your being. Fall fully into the embrace of the Lord within.
The Liberated mind has a natural option which the egoic mind lacks — it can function in the world and yet remain in perfect serenity as unmoving Awareness.
When the sense 'I am' and awareness are experienced as one, there is no such thing as ego.

Nothingness, What Is, Emptiness, pure Consciousness, Self, natural Mind
- all these terms are synonymous, they point to the one true Self.
Nothingness does not remove anything at all.
It neither attains nor transcends anything.
Nothingness is not affected or intimidated by anything.
It does not depend on anything.
It simply Is.
Being complete, it lacks nothing.
Therefore, nothing is required for Nothing to be.
Discovering oneself to be Nothing, this is Freedom.

Free of intention...
Free of identity...
that is the supreme possibility of the human consciousness.
Once you have tasted this in your Heart
all other states are secondary
because what you will have found
is incomparable.

You are timelessly free.
You are the Self now, but you must recognise this deep inside your heart.
Don’t listen to the devious mind for he has never really served the Truth.
You have to strike him at his root now.
Put the axe at the root and cut him.
Feel no compassion for him, for he is busy arranging a womb for your next birth.

Before true knowledge reveals itself,
ignorance needs to be fully swept aside.
Wisdom will not reveal itself while there is investment in the unreal, for that portion of energy will continue creating divisions and distractions
in order to avoid or delay seeing what truly Is.
Such is the nature of the psychological mind.

Ego will not immediately vanish upon the realisation of the Truth, but it will be more quickly and more easily discerned.
Its power keeps diminishing in the light of self-awareness until it becomes insignificant altogether.

What is the essence of self–inquiry?
It is a shift of focus from the object of perception to the perceiving subject, and to remain as this formless subject.

If there is an ‘I’ who can ‘get it’,
there will be an ‘I’ who can ‘lose it’,
and this ‘I’ is nothing but thought.
It is the most costly thought when believed in,
for it exchanges your innocence for complexity
and your spontaneity for inhibition.

Regarding Self as merely a "person"
is an insult to the Unlimited Consciousness one is.

The one who surrenders everything, including himself,
and the one who finds nothing, including himself,
discover the same Truth.

All things pass except the Love and Presence of God. To know this inside your heart is eternal life, freedom and joy.
Something brought you here. Something inside is delighted to be reminded - you are nobody.
When there is no more ego, there is only That. When there is still ego, there is only That.
If I could give you only one advice, I would say: Don't identify with anything. Be completely empty - no one. Be no-body and see if you lose anything but delusion.
This body can become exhausted but the Source from where I'm speaking can never be exhausted.
I can not keep on putting food in the mouth.
I can not do it, it's not good and it's not of much value
because I have come to give you the most beautiful Thing,
which you don't have to pay to find,
which you don't have to go to some place to look for,
it's not hidden in the Himalayas,
it's right Here in the Center of your Being.

Our attention venerates what we see. And what we see has the mark of impermanence on it.
Contemplate deeply what I am about to say now. Grasp it and you will be out of the mind-trap for good!
You say you are trying very hard to be the Presence.
But That which is observing the effort to be the Presence, is that making any effort?
The flip-side of the ego is pure Awareness.
Flick over into the Awareness position in which the effort to be the Presence is seen in much the same way as you would watch a movie of yourself. The one watching the movie is separate from the image of himself which is unreal. There is a natural detachment present.
That which is observing the effort, can it be other than your Self, the living, unchanging Source?
Pay attention to yourself as the serene and formless Seer instead of identifying with the frustrated seeker.
Do you feel the difference?
Confirm your Reality here as the formless observing.
You are already the 'somewhere' you are trying to get to. Be clear about this in your Heart.
That's it - job done.

The Self does not happen.
It is omnipresent and eternal.
What "happens" is the recognition
of the Self by the mind.
This is called awakening.
