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

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

From where does this "I" arise? Seek for it within; it then vanishes. This is the pursuit of wisdom. When the mind unceasingly investigates its own nature, it transpires that there is no such thing as mind. This is the direct path for all. The mind is merely thoughts. Of all thoughts the thought "I" is the root.

That which is not present in deep dreamless sleep is not real

By whatever path you go, you will have to lose yourself in the one. Surrender is complete only when you reach the stage `Thou art all' and `Thy will be done'.

Does one require proof of one's own being? Only remain aware of yourself and all else will be known.

The Self is the one Reality that always exists, and it is by the light of the Self that all other things are seen.
