Learn to let go. You do it a little at a time.

Any individual is capable of realizing the truth at any time. No tradition is necessary, no chain, no lineage. Once you have realized the truth, once you have become consciousness itself, then you go beyond all such distinctions.

If we get too caught up in the rhetoric of meditation, we will miss the point. The point was to go beyond rhetoric.

Tantra is only recommended for someone who has a very developed will power, a terrific sense of humor, and a sense that nothing else matters but God and self-realization.

In the Upanishads they talk about the path of the sun and the path of the moon. The path of the moon is rebirth. The path of the sun leads to self-knowledge, from which there is no return.

When you sit, you've put a place on the island of the tonal for the possibility of your thoughts stopping for a short period of time.

The path is focus. The power of focus is absolutely essential. To stop all thoughts, you have to have tremendous power of focus.
