Actions themselves form no bondage. Bondage is only the false belief,"I am the do-er."

There is no reaching the Self. If Self were to be reached, it would mean that the Self is not here and now but that it is yet to be obtained. What is got afresh will also be lost. So it will be impermanent. What is not permanent is not worth striving for. So I say the Self is not reached. You are the Self; you are already That.

He who has realized the Self in the Heart has transcended the dualities and is never perplexed.

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

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

No one succeeds without effort... Those who succeed owe their success to perseverance.

Apart from thoughts, there is no independent entity called the world. In deep sleep there are no thoughts, and there is no world. In the states of waking and dream, there are thoughts, and there is a world also. Just as the spider emits the thread (of the web) out of itself and again withdraws it into itself, likewise the mind projects the world out of itself and again resolves it into itself.
