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

Self-Enquiry is not asking you to believe or to trust - it is putting a mirror in front of you and asking you to look. Enquiry is suited to many people in the West, because we are more mental. And it is very direct. So unsparing is its look that nothing can escape.

Something is aware of even the energy of confusion inside of you. There is no need to get unconfused. Leave it - it will pass.

If you do not trust life to unfold, the mind takes over and it becomes a game of strategy, motivated by anxiety. This mistrust is unfair. Life has given us so much, and yet we do not trust it.

The simplest aspect of self-enquiry is to just hold onto the sense I AM, the sense of Being. Keep the sense of "I" or "I AM" by itself. Everyone can do this exercise - it brings immediate results.

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

Feelings are just visitors, let them come and go.
