Words that point beyond words

Your own Self-Realization is the greatest service you can render the world.

The Self is always realized. It is not something to be attained. It is what you already are.

Mind is consciousness which has put on limitations. You are originally unlimited and perfect. Later you take on limitations and become the mind.

Silence is the true teaching. It is the perfect teaching. It is suited only for the most advanced seeker. The others are unable to draw full inspiration from it.

The degree of freedom from unwanted thoughts and the degree of concentration on a single thought are the measures to gauge spiritual progress.

There is no greater mystery than this — that being the Reality ourselves, we seek to gain Reality.

You are already that which you seek.

The mind creates the abyss, the heart crosses it.

The real does not die, the unreal never lived. Once you know that death happens to the body and not to you, you just watch your body falling off like a discarded garment.

To know what you are, you must first investigate and know what you are not.

Give up all questions except one: 'Who am I?' After all, the only fact you are sure of is that you are. The 'I am' is certain. The 'I am this' is not.

Wisdom is knowing I am nothing. Love is knowing I am everything. And between the two my life moves.

The greatest thing you can do for yourself and for the world is to become still.

When you surrender completely, when you let go of everything, you will find that you are everything.

You are not the body. You are not the mind. You are pure awareness, pure consciousness, pure bliss.

Stop trying to figure it out. Stop trying to understand. Just be. In that simple being, everything is given.

Silence is not the absence of sound. Silence is your natural state. It is what you are when you are not pretending to be something else.

The mind is like a lake. When the wind blows, there are waves. When the wind stops, the lake becomes still and you can see the bottom clearly. The bottom is the Self.
