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.

Happiness is not to be sought in solitude or in busy centers. It is in the Self.

Eating, bathing, going to the toilet, talking, thinking, and many other activities related to the body are all work. How is it that the performance of one particular act is alone (considered) work? To be still is to be always engaged in work. To be silent is to be always talking.

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

Meditation applies the brakes to the mind.

That alone is Real which exists by itself, which reveals itself by itself and which is eternal and unchanging.

When the mind is left without anything to cling to, it becomes still.
