The body is just a water bubble. The mind is like a mad monkey. Do not follow either the body or the mind. Follow the Conscience. It is above the mind. It is permanent. It is the voice of God, the voice of unchanging truth inside you.

You are the Atma. You are permanent. The physical is not permanent. The physical is not the Atma.

You are still in 100% body con­sciousness. Do not stay with this body conscious­ness. Remove that. What will remain will be Atma-consciousness. Then there will be no anger, no ha­tred, no envy, no jealousy, no hunger, no desire . . . only complete Ananda . . . only bliss, bliss, bliss!

Do not spend your time thinking about the world or your relationships to individuals. These are all impermanent. They have only to do with the body.

When asked where God is, people point towards the sky or some far and distant region: no wonder then that He does not manifest Himself! Realize that He is in you, with you, behind you, and all around you; and He can be seen and felt everywhere.

Whoever aspires to win the grace of God should cultivate at the outset the quality of Kshama (Forgiveness).

Thus, the Lingam is the simplest sign or symbol of Emergence and Mergence.
