Consciousness is indeed always with us. Everyone knows 'I am!' No one can deny his own being.

The more you prune a plant, the more it grows. So too the more you seek to annihilate the ego, the more it will increase. You should seek the root of the ego and destroy it.

Bliss is a thing which is always there and is not something which comes and goes. That which comes and goes is a creation of the mind.

The state of self-realization, as we call it, is not attaining something new or reaching some goal which is far away, but simply being that which you always are and which you always have been.

The end of all wisdom is love, love, love.

The body dies, but the spirit that transcends it cannot be touched by death.

You may go on reading any number of books on Meditation. They can only tell you ‘Realize the Self’. The Self cannot be found in books. You have to find it for yourself in yourself.
