If you go on working with the light available, you will meet your Master, as he himself will be seeking you.

That which rises and sinks is made up of what it rises from. The finality of the universe is the God Arunachala. Meditating on Him or on the seer, the Self, there is a mental vibration 'I' to which all are reduced. Tracing the source of 'I', the primal 'I-I' alone remains over, and it is inexpressible. The seat of Realisation is within and the seeker cannot find it as an object outside him. That seat is bliss and is the core of all beings. Hence it is called the Heart. The only useful purpose of the present birth is to turn within and realise it. There is nothing else to do.

Even the structure of the atom has been found by the mind. Therefore the mind is subtler than the atom. That which is behind the mind, namely the individual soul, is subtler than the mind.

Pleasure and pain are only aspects of the mind. Our essential nature is happiness

Remain still, with the conviction that the Self shines as everything yet nothing, within, without, and everywhere.

Without seeing the origin of light, the true form of one's Self, the ordinary man sees by the mind different things and is deluded.

He whose pure mind turns inward and searches whence does this 'I' arise, knows the Self and merges in You, the Lord, as a river into the sea.
