You are not the mind. If you know you are not the mind, then what difference does it make if it's busy or quiet? You are not the mind.

The silence before the words were spoken, is it different from the silence that came after?

There is no second, or higher self to search for. You are the highest self, only give up the false ideas you have about your self.

Truth gives no advantage. It gives no higher status, no power over others; all you get is truth and freedom from the false.

You will get to your maturity quickly if you stay in the nothingness.

If you could only keep quiet, clear of memories and expectations, you would be able to discern the beautiful pattern of events. Its your restlessness that causes chaos.

I am dead already. Physical death will make no difference in my case. I am timeless being. I am free of desire or fear, because I do not remember the past or imagine the future. Where there are no names and shapes, how can there be desire and fear? With desirelessness comes timelessness. I am safe, because what is not, cannot touch what is. You feel unsafe, because you imagine danger. Of course, your body as such is complex and vulnerable and needs protection. But not you. Once you realize your own unassailable being, you will be at peace.
