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.

You wake up each day from the dream; but to be free, you must also wake up from the waking state.

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.

You are here. You are not the one who will go and come. Let what you're suffering from go and come, not you. You stay put.

O Lord...Let my knowing of you not just be in my mind, but fully alive inside my heart...remove ‘me’...let there be only you

There is no need to believe or disbelieve your thoughts - just don't enter anything. They don't distract you - you get distracted. Nothing exists in itself as a distraction - it is you who get distracted. Why?

The mind is like the wind. You're trying to stop the wind, dressed as a kite. How are you going to do it?
