You are the love and joy beneath the pain.

Now if a teacher gives you a practice, he or she would perhaps point out when you don't need it anymore or you realize yourself when you don't need it anymore.

Awareness takes over from thinking. Instead of being in charge of your life, thinking becomes the servant of awareness.

All cravings are the mind seeking salvation or fulfillment in external things and in the future as a substitute for the joy of Being. As long as I am my mind, I am those cravings, those needs, wants, attachments, and aversions, and apart from them there is no "I" except as a mere possibility, an unfulfilled potential, a seed that has not yet sprouted.

You are awareness, disguised as a person.

You are not IN the universe, you ARE the universe.

We are in the final stages of egoic madness. Almost the whole world is fighting each other.
