Attempting to understand consciousness with your mind, is like trying to illuminate the sun with a candle.

Some beings will walk with you for the duration of this bodily existence, up to the very end. Some will come with bright promises, bright lights, but they fade quickly. Others come, they don’t look like they will go very far, but they are marathon runners; they’re there with you all the time. You cannot determine this... Somehow in the flow of your own unique river, you will see that everything is as it should be.

The operation of consciousness has created the 'apparition' called 'me'.

We are identifying with what is passing so fear comes. We are trying to make steady and permanent what is by nature impermanent.

Let it be whatever it will be. Give up trying to manipulate. This is Freedom.

If I could give you only one advice, I would say: Don't identify with anything. Be completely empty - no one. Be no-body and see if you lose anything but delusion.

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.
