To believe that you depend on things and people for happiness is due to ignorance of your true nature; to know that you need nothing to be happy, except Self-knowledge, is wisdom.

You need not know what you are. Enough to know what you are not. What you are you will never know, for every discovery reveals new dimensions to conquer. The unknown has no limits.

You are not in the world...the world is in you," what did he mean? [That is, you are not in the world," that is, there is no "you" that is real or in any world. "The world is in you" means that the world is in your "mind" and is nothing more than a figment of your programming-and-conditioning-induced imaginings.]

Pleasure puts you to sleep and pain wakes you up. If you don't want to suffer, don't go to sleep.

Know yourself to be the changeless witness of the changeful mind. That is enough.

You know that you are. Don't burden yourself with names, just be. Any name or shape you give yourself obscures your real nature.

It is not the right advice that liberates, but the action based on it.
