All that is required to realise the Self is to “Be Still.

Self-inquiry is the process and the goal also. 'I am' is the goal and the final reality. To hold to it with effort is self-inquiry. When spontaneous and natural it is realization.

When there are thoughts, it is distraction: when there are no thoughts, it is meditation.

Aim high, aim at the highest, and all lower aims are thereby achieved. It is looking below on the stormy sea of differences that makes you sink. Look up, beyond these and see the One Glorious Real, and you are saved.

There is nothing so simple as being the Self. It requires no effort, no aid. One has to leave off the wrong identity and be in his (her) eternal, natural, inherent state.

The ego's phenomenal existence is transcended when you dive into the source from where the `I'-thought rises

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