The mind turned inwards is the Self; turned outwards, it becomes the ego and all the world. Cotton made into various clothes we call by various names. Gold made into various ornaments, we call by various names. But all the clothes are cotton and all the ornaments gold. The one is real, the many are mere names and forms.

Turn your vision inward and then the whole world will be full of the Supreme Spirit.

When there are thoughts, it is distraction: when there are no thoughts, it is meditation.

Know that the eradication of the identification with the body is charity, spiritual austerity and ritual sacrifice; it is virtue, divine union and devotion; it is heaven, wealth, peace and truth; it is grace; it is the state of divine silence; it is the deathless death; it is jnana, renunciation, final liberation and bliss.

Such happiness is relative and is better called pleasure or satisfaction.

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

Take no notice of the ego and its activities, but see only the light behind.
