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.

Calmness is the criterion of spiritual progress. Plunge the purified mind into the Heart. Then the work is over.

Good thoughts keep off bad thoughts. They must themselves disappear before the state of realization.

Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside.

Is it the world that says I am real, or is it you?

The place where even the slightest trace of the 'I' does not exist, alone is Self.

When the mind, one-pointed and fully focused, knows the supreme silence in the Heart, this is true learning.
