Leave your mind alone, that is all. Do not go along with it. After all, there is no such thing as mind apart from thoughts which come and go obeying their own laws, not yours. They dominate you only because you are interested in them.

Don't rely on your mind for liberation. It is the mind that brought you into bondage. Go beyond it altogether.

Your first task is to see the sorrow in you and around you; your next, to long intensely for liberation. The very intensity of longing will guide you; you need no other guide.

Between the banks of pleasure and pain flows the river of life. If you spend much time on either bank you will miss out on life.

How can an unsteady mind make itself steady? Of course it cannot. It is the nature of the mind to roam about. All you can do is to shift the focus of consciousness beyond the mind.

Look at your mind dispassionately; this is enough to calm it. When it is quiet, you can go beyond it. Do not keep it busy all the time. Stop it - and just BE.

All is a play in consciousness. All divisions are illusory. You can know the false only. The true you must yourself be.
