Don't pretend to be what you are not. Don't refuse to be what you are.

Cooperate with your destiny, don't go against it, don't thwart it. Allow it to fulfill itself.

The problem is not yours - it is your mind's only. Begin by disassociating yourself from your mind. Resolutely remind yourself that you are not the mind and that its problems are not yours.

You are so used to the support of concepts that when your concepts leave you, although it is your true state, you get frightened and try to cling to them again.

With self-awareness you grow more intelligent. In awareness you learn, in self-awareness you learn about yourself. Of course, you can only learn what you are not. To know what you are, you must go beyond the mind. Awareness is the point at which the mind reaches out beyond itself into reality. In awareness you seek not what pleases, but what is true.

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

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