What exists in truth is the Self alone. The world, the individual soul and God are appearances in it. Like silver in mother-of-pearl, these three appear at the same time and disappear at the same time. The Self is that where there is absolutely no 'I thought'. That is called 'Stillness'. The Self itself is the world; the Self itself is 'I'; the Self itself is God; all is Siva, the Self.

'I Am' is the name of God, God is none other than the Self.

There are no impediments to meditation. The very thought of such obstacles is the greatest impediment.

To ask the mind to kill itself is like making the thief the policeman. He will go with you and pretend to catch the thief, but nothing will be gained. So you must turn inward and see where the mind rises from, and then it will cease to exist.

Let what comes come, let what goes go.

Call it by any name, God, Self, the Heart, or the Seat of Consciousness, it is all the same.

Beyond the belief that something can be lost, there is nothing to lose.
