What is illusion? M.: To whom is the illusion? Find it out. Then illusion will vanish. Generally people want to know about illusion and do not examine to whom it is. It is foolish. Illusion is outside and unknown. But the seeker is considered to be known and is inside. Find out what is immediate, intimate, instead of trying to find out what is distant and unknown.

The Self is the heart, self-luminous. Illumination arises from the heart and reaches the brain, which is the seat of the mind. The world is seen with the mind; so you see the world by the reflected light of the Self.

The state we call realization is simply being oneself, not knowing anything or becoming anything.

Peace can reign only where there is no disturbance, and disturbance is due to thoughts that arise in the mind.

Peace is your natural state. It is the mind that obstructs the natural state.

Peace is for the purification of one's mind. Power is for the growth of the community. Having established the community with power, one should then establish supreme peace.

Meditation applies the brakes to the mind.
