The most effective and auspicious spiritual practices are the ones that leave you without identity.
When you say ‘I’ - something says ‘I.’ I did this, I believe, no I don’t agree, I want. Watch this ‘I,’ not what it wants. The idea you have of who you are is suffering about ideas it has of itself. Watch this ‘I’ sense. Who will watch it?
It is possible to be in both worlds. It's like you're in this world, but you don't belong to it in quite the same way... you're not pulled into the dramas of life.
Relationships become claustrophobic if they keep you in a state of personal identification.
When they serve to reflect your universality, they are a mirror, a tool of liberation.

Self-enquiry is freedom from the ego, not freedom for the ego.
Then, something says ‘Stay here!’, is addressing the attention, the attention somehow must stay here for a bit, and then the attention which is trembling to go out, because that’s the reflex to go out to familiar territory, because it’s used to hanging out in the realm of the noise. And now it takes some effort to hold it here, and it’s like it wants to go out. But that’s also watched. And this is a very important point, this pull.
The one who is free, is not expecting anything.
You only have the privilege to perceive... Incubate in your Self, don't know anything... You stay empty.
If you are genuinely seek Truth know this: Wherever you are, wherever you may go, right there is a door into your inmost being.
What is That which is not the mind?
It is not the thinking faculty.
It is not time, memory nor the powers of imagination.
It is not the form. It is not the senses.
It is not even the dynamic consciousness,
because it is without limitation.
When it is referred to ‘It’, that which refers to ‘it’, what is that?
And where is it?
And who are you?
Are they two different components?
That which says ’ Only this is’ and that which effortlessly Is, are they different?
You must contemplate these things time and again.
Such contemplation is going to turn the mind into a desert and the heart into an oasis.

You are not seeing the beauty of this Universe because you are putting so many herbs and spices of your own intentions upon the world in order to give it a taste that you want, that your mind wants. Free from identity, your eyes perceive in such silence, beauty and clarity without the judging mind, just pure as it is. Watch life with silent eyes.
Trust your Heart. Value its intuition.
Choose to let go of fear, and to open to the True and you will awaken to the freedom, clarity and joy of Being.

You can be without the psychological mind,
but the psychological mind cannot be without you.
You witness mind; mind cannot witness you for it is insentient. If it is clear to you that you are the observer of the mind and therefore understand, you cannot be what you observe, then who are you?
Investigate this.

A starving man is not 'interested' in food,
nor is a drowning man 'interested' in air.
For one longing for Liberation,
Self-knowledge is not an interest, it's vital.

Even a small particle of yourself that is somehow in betrayal to your truth feels like it’s you doing it. You have to learn to manage your powers. The mind is your power. The senses are your power. The power to believe is your power. The power to observe is your power. The power to identify is your power. This ship you must sail alone, and you must sail your ship.
You come to a point where the vital force is helping you to forget everything and yet enjoy everything while being no-one.
What is the purpose of learning anything?
Only to be empty.
This is my teaching.
As far as the search for Truth is concerned, the only purpose of learning anything at all is to become empty again.
If you are merely collecting concepts, you will build up a lot of noise internally.
For only out of the emptiness itself, can spontaneous existence dance beautifully.
There, if a thing needs to be known, it will appear automatically out of that immensity in the appropriate time.
When it has expressed and exhausted its expression, it will return to emptiness unforced.
The wise know this.

It takes a lot of energy to be a person because it's not our truth. It takes no energy to be yourself.
Everything you accomplish as a human being is momentary, perishable. You come in this world with nothing, you leave with nothing. You can pursue many things and die without knowing who you are, but if you know who you are you can never die.
The mind is confused.
It is always trying to get, to understand,
to have the feeling "I know this, I understand this,
I know where I am going".
The mind is on a linear progressive projection.
Exposed to non-duality
there is nowhere for it to "go".
Nothing for it to "grasp".
Conditioned, the mind gets confused.
Countless concepts are picked up by the mind,
clinging to those untruths
You suffocate your spontaneity.
The mind does not understand simplicity.
Its nature is to make complex
what is already Natural.

What is there to keep up?
What is there to maintain?
What is there to practice?
What is there to remember?
What is there to be?
What matters so much?

Truth is the simplest thing
in the whole world because
it is already timelessly perfect
and unchanging.
It is not created
and it cannot be perfected.
It can only be discovered
as one's true Being.

It is the greatest miracle that a human being, borne with so much challenges, can rise like the lotus flower...it grows in the pond, in the mud pond, but it remains all it's life untouched...even if the rain falls heavily, and the waters rise...the lotus will still be always above the water...this is the nature of the spirit...
