Apart from the body does the world exist? Has anyone seen the world without the body?

Our identification with the mind and body is the chief reason for our failure to know our self as we truly are.

Liberation exists- and you will never be liberated.

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

It is within your competence to think and thus to get bound or to cease thinking and thus be free.

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.

The world is so unhappy because it is ignorant of the true Self. Man’s real nature is happiness. Happiness is inborn in the true Self. Man’s search for happiness is an unconscious search for his true Self. The true Self is imperishable; therefore, when a man finds it, he finds a happiness which does not come to an end.
