To achieve your ethereal state, you have to expand your thoughtless awareness.

Your own attention is important, not the attention of others or your attention on others.

If your body wants comfort, you try to make it learn to give up that. Try to make your body your slave and not you the slave of the body.

Like small children you must have a very clean heart to accept, to absorb the beauty of peace that is within you and also the beauty of purity. Without purity, you cannot enjoy anything.

Freedom is when you really get your own powers which are within you. In your central nervous system and in your conscious mind, you must feel the existence of the spirit.

Now you are changed people. Your personality is different. It's shining through your spirit. In that spirit, you have to see everything. All your conditionings will drop out as soon as you start identifying your Self fully, fully with the spirit. Fully - again I say because we do not. We are still Christians. We are still Hindus. We are still Muslims. We are still Indians, English, this, that. We are still narrow-minded, small, little puddles. We have to be the ocean. Once you are identified with the ocean, you have to throw away everything and become absolutely clean and detached.

If possible, try to talk good about others, always. By telling good about another person, you will help yourself and another person.
