Albert Hoffman’s response to “What would you say to young people?”
“What I would say would most certainly be: Open your eyes! The doors of perception must be opened. That means these young people must learn by their own experience, to see the world as it was before human beings were on this planet. That is the real problem today, that people live in towns and cities, where everything is dead. This material world, made by humans, is a dead world, and will disappear and die. I would tell the young people to go out into the countryside, go to the meadow, go to the garden, go to the woods. This is a world of nature to which we belong, absolutely. It is the circle of life, of which we are an integral part. Open your eyes, and see the browns and greens of the earth, and the light which is the essence of nature. The young need to become aware of this circle of life, and realize that it is possible to experience the beauty and deep meaning which is at the core of our relation to nature.”

The world is like a mirror. Knowingly or unknowingly, we bring out the best or worst in each other. Every word, look and action is reflected in others. Usually, we project our own attitude onto others. A wrong word is enough to make a good friend our worst enemy, whereas, a kind word at the right time, can melt the heart of a cruel person. So we should always try to awaken the goodness in ourselves and others.
Death does not exist, and with that very knowledge, the fear of it disappears. And remember: no man who existed died. They turned into light and as such still exist. The secret is that these light particles return to original state. Return to one of the previous energies. Christ and some others knew this secret. I was searching for how to preserve human energy. It is one of the forms of light. In the Soul sometimes equal to the supreme celestial light. I did not search for it for myself, but for the good of all. I believe that my discovery will make people’s lives easier and more bearable and direct them to spirituality and morality.
Evidence is overrated.
Intuition is underrated.

Cling to nothing, knowing
that your very existence
is unfolding by Grace.

Building your connection with the permanent and unchangeable, with God, or the Self, is the most important thing in life.
Sri Bhagavan says,
‘For Him who enjoys the bliss of Self,
which has risen by destroying the [individual] self [the mind or ego],
what single thing exists to do?
He does not know anything other than Self; [therefore] how to [or who can] conceive what His state is?’
Note: The sense of doership, the feeling ‘I am doing this action’, can exist only so long as the mind, whose form is the feeling ‘I am this’ or ‘I am that’, exists.
Therefore, when the mind is destroyed, the sense of doership is also destroyed.
Hence the yogi whose mind is dead and who thereby abides as Self, the reality, cannot be the doer of any action.
Whatever action He may appear to do exists only in the outlook of those who mistake Him to be the body which does the action.
~ Ulladu Narpadu, Verse31

Translation By MICHAEL JAMES.
Work is love made visible.
And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy.
For if you bake bread with indifference, you bake a bitter bread that feeds but half man’s hunger.
And if you grudge the crushing of the grapes, your grudge distils a poison in the wine.
And if you sing though as angels, and love not the singing, you muffle man’s ears to the voices of the day and the voices of the night.

I am opening the door to true understanding and direct experience for you.
You have to come out of all delusion and the biggest one is: I am the body and person. I am the 'thinker' of thoughts and the 'doer' of actions. I am giver and receiver.
Such delusions must vanish.
But we cannot just somehow snap a finger and you come out of delusion—even if you say it is all you really, really want.
But you have said 'Yes' to Truth even though, at present, it is not firmly established in your Heart. This 'Yes' is opening doors. Something is being refined by Grace in order that Truth gets established in the Heart. There is a space there, an unshared space.
Two kings cannot sit on one throne.
You don’t have to be a perfect sage but you have to want the Truth perfectly. Something perfect and infinite is here. And I cannot say what it is, for it is wordless. But work is going on in every Heart to prepare for It's coming.
Everyone has to be touched by the spirit of John the Baptist. Who is this John? He is the one who goes ahead to prepare each Heart for the coming of the Holy One.

The mind is like water; it always flows downwards. Even if waterfalls on the top of a mountain, it will still flow downwards. But fire always burns upward. Even if you turn a flame upside down, it will still burn upwards. It can vaporize and uplift water. So the fire denotes awareness and the water denotes the downward flow of our mind. The mind is always searching for materialistic comforts. We have to awaken the mind with the fire of inner awareness. We have to take a firm resolution to move forward.
Appear as you are.
Be as you appear.
Be as you appear.
Forget who you were or what you may have done in the past. Focus on what you would like to be, and then, while you are doing whatever is necessary to attain the goal, let go of the future as well.
Your life is auspicious.
You are here for much more than knowledge.
You are here for Liberation.
You are here for much more than knowledge.
You are here for Liberation.
Do not blame the circumstances and do not blame others.
Remove your own weaknesses.
Remove your own weaknesses.
Presently, stabilize in the consciousness. If you don't do that, your very concepts will be very dangerous to you - they will throttle you to death. The knowledge you are is the source of all energy, the source of all Gods, of all types of knowledge.
He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight.
The foundation of happiness is gratitude.
The truth of your experience is the ultimate teacher.
You are the secret. You are the wide opened. Do not look for the remedy for your troubles outside yourself. You are the medicine. You are the cure for your own sorrow.
Do not go off sightseeing. The real journey is right here. The great excursion starts from exactly where you are. You are the world. You have everything you need.
Get rid of your arrogance.
Develop humility. Become humble.
By that I do not mean become a doormat for people to step on.
In humility there is strength. You understand the truth, therefore you do not get involved in pettiness, in nonsense. The truth shall always prevail regardless of appearences.

Once dust you are now spirit. Once ignorant, now wise. The one who took you so far, will take you further.
Experience leaves only memories behind and adds to the burden which is heavy enough. You need no more experiences. The past ones are sufficient. And if you feel you need more, look into the hearts of people around you. You will find a variety of experiences which you would not be able to go through in a thousand years. Learn from the sorrows of others and save yourself your own. It is not experience that you need, but the freedom from all experience. (317)
Fear does not prevent death.
It prevents life.
