The only thing required of you is to allow all your raging desires to relax into preferences. Then everything will be done through you and for you, not by you.

It is just like your tape-recorder. It records, it reproduces - all by itself. You only listen. Similarly, I watch all that happens, including my talking to you. It is not me who talks, the words appear in my mind and then I hear them said.

The world you think of is in your own mind.

There is only one meditation - the rigorous refusal to harbor thoughts.

Watch your thoughts as you watch the street traffic. People come and go; you register without response. It may not be easy in the beginning, but with some practice you will find that your mind can function on many levels at the same time and you can be aware of them all.

The mind exists in two states: as water and as honey. The water vibrates at the least disturbance, while the honey, however disturbed, returns quickly to immobility.

When all names and forms have been given up, the real is with you. You need not seek it.
