A quiet mind is all you need. All else will happen rightly, once your mind is quiet.

Whatever state I am in, I see it as a state of mind to be accepted as it is.

The innermost light, shining peacefully and timelessly in the heart, is the real Guru. All others merely show the way.

To be a living being is not the ultimate state; there is something [the Reality] beyond, much more wonderful, which is neither being nor non-being, neither living nor not-living. It is a state of Pure Awareness, beyond the limitations of space and time.

The real is behind and beyond words, incommunicable, directly experienced, explosive in its effect on the mind. It is easily had when nothing else is wanted.

I find that somehow, by shifting the focus of attention, I become the very thing I look at, and experience the kind of consciousness it has; I become the inner witness of the thing. I call this capacity of entering other focal points of consciousness, love; you may give it any name you like. Love says "I am everything". Wisdom says "I am nothing". Between the two, my life flows. Since at any point of time and space I can be both the subject and the object of experience, I express it by saying that I am both, and neither, and beyond both.

You are not what you think yourself to be, I assure you. The image you have of yourself is made up from memories and is purely accidental.
