The scriptures say to wake up from the deep sleep of ignorance, remain fully awake, remain conscious, & go on learning.

The poor long for riches, the rich long for heaven, but the wise long for a state of tranquility.

What Jesus meant was that whoever is attached to the worldly life and this earthly body will lose them in death. But whoever lets go of attachments to this worldly life and this earthly body and identifies with the permanence or God-consciousness that Jesus represented, will never die.

God is One. There cannot be two or more. For if there were two God's who created them? There must have been someone who came before them. Therefore God is only One - One Final Absolute Existence. Everything else is a manifestation of Him.

What good does it do to have all the riches of the world and all the world's pleasures? They will all disappear in the flash we call a human lifetime. Focusing on the pleasures of the world keeps the mind too distracted to search for the inner Self.

Do not allow yourself to suppress your thoughts. Instead, let the thoughts come before you and become a sort of observer. Start observing your own mind. Do not try to escape; do not be afraid of your thinking.

It is He who manifests as both matter and consciousness. There is no place where God is not. In every atom, in every living being He alone is present.
