There is no mind to control if you realise the self. The mind having vanished, the self shines forth. In the realised man, the mind may be active or inactive, the self remains for him.

Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside.

Take no notice of the ego and its activities, but see only the light behind.

Good thoughts keep off bad thoughts. They must themselves disappear before the state of realization.

When the mind is left without anything to cling to, it becomes still.

Without seeing the origin of light, the true form of one's Self, the ordinary man sees by the mind different things and is deluded.

As you are, so is the world.
