The personal needs a base, a body to identify oneself with, just as a colour needs a surface to appear on.

Wisdom is knowing I am nothing, Love is knowing I am everything, and between the two my life moves.

Stay open and quiet, that is all. What you seek is so near you that there is no place for a way.

Simply look at whatever happens and know that you are beyond it.

By all means be selfish; the right way. Wish yourself well, labour at what is good for you. Destroy all that stands between you and happiness. Be all; love all; be happy; make happy. No happiness is greater.

There are no steps to self-realization. There is nothing gradual about it. It happens suddenly and is irreversible. You rotate into a new dimension, seen from which the previous ones are mere abstractions. Just like on sunrise you see things as they are, so on self-realization you see everything as it is. The world of illusions is left behind.

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