Understand your darkness and it will vanish; then you will know what light is. Understand your nightmare for what it is and it will stop; then you will wake up to reality. Understand your false beliefs and they will drop; then you will know the taste of happiness.

A nice definition of an awakened person: a person who no longer marches to the drums of society, a person who dances to the tune of the music that springs up from within.

A thought is a screen, not a mirror; that is why you live in a thought envelope, untouched by Reality.

You see persons and things not as they are but as you are.

It's only when you become love - in other words, when you have dropped your illusions and attachments - that you will "know." As you identify less and less with the "me," you will be more at ease with everybody and with everything.

"That of the person who sees other human beings as sinners," said the Master.

Problems exist only in the human mind.
