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.

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'.

Grace is within you. If it were external, it would be useless.

If the ego rises, all else will also rise; if it subsides, all else will also subside.

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.

The greatest obstacle to enlightenment is getting past your delusion that you are not already enlightened.

The experience of silence alone is the real and perfect knowledge.
