Forget about trying to stabilize the personal sense of Self. It is inherently unstable. See that the Self watches this.

God can never be close. God can never be close because it would mean that there is some place where God is not. God is infinite. We cannot exist outside of the infinite. Therefore, God is our Reality.

Pay attention to that which sees the mind.

There is a presence, a silence, a stillness which is here by itself. There is no doer of it, no creator of this stillness. It is simply here in you, with you. It is the fragrance of your own self. There is nothing to do about this, it is naturally present. This fragrance of peace, this spaciousness, it is the fragrance of your own being.

Everything is just now. Your existence is just now. Just timeless Now. All the rest is just a dream due to conditioning and memory.

Let the mind come as it wants; just you don't go with it. The greatest salesman in the world cannot sell you if you don't buy.

Attention pays attention to a lot of things, but when attention pays attention to attention, then there is a stillness, and that stillness introduces you to your Self.
