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.

It is your idea that you have to do things that entangle you in the results of your efforts - the motive, the desire, the failure to achieve, the sense of frustration - all this holds you back. Simply look at whatever happens and know that you are beyond it.

It has nothing to do with effort. Just turn away, look between the thoughts, rather than at the thoughts. When you happen to walk in a crowd, you do not fight every man you meet, you just find your way between. When you fight, you invite a fight. But when you do not resist, you meet no resistance. When you refuse to play the game, you are out of it.

There is nothing to do. Just be. Do nothing. Be. No climbing mountains and sitting in caves. I do not even say: "be yourself", since you do not know yourself. Just be. Having seen that you are neither the "outer" world of perceivables, not the "inner" world of thinkables, that you are neither body nor mind, just be.

Stay open and quiet, that is all. What you seek is so near you that there is no place for a way.

Life itself is desireless. But the false self wants to continue - pleasantly. Therefore, it is always engaged in ensuring one's continuity. Life is unafraid and free. As long as you have the idea of influencing events, liberation is not for you: the very notion of doership, of being a cause, is bondage.

Death is natural, the manner of dying is man-made. The real does not die, the unreal never lived. Set your mind right and all will be right. When you know that the world is one, that humanity is one, you will act accordingly. But first of all you must attend to the way you feel, think and live. Unless there is order in yourself, there can be no order in the world.

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".

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.

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.

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.

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.
