Stop, look, investigate, ask the right questions, come to the right conclusions and have the courage to act on them and see what happens. The first steps may bring the roof down on your head, but soon the commotion will clear and there will be peace and joy.

To go beyond you need alert immobility, quiet attention.

Find what is it that never sleeps and never wakes, and whose pale reflection is our sense of 'I'

The only difference between us is that I am aware of my natural state, while you are bemused.... We discover it by being earnest, by searching, enquiring, questioning daily and hourly, by giving one's life to this discovery.

Even faith in God is only a stage on the way. Ultimately you abandon all, for you come to something so simple that there are no words to express it.

Laugh with people laughing, cry with people crying, but don't fall into the river of world illusion. Stay on the banks.

All will happen as you want it, provided you really want it.
