When you go beyond awareness, there is a state of nonduality, in which there is no cognition, only pure being. In the state of nonduality, all separation ceases.

Pleasure puts you to sleep and pain wakes you up. If you don't want to suffer, don't go to sleep.

For me the moment of death will be a moment of jubilation, not of fear. I cried when I was born and I shall die laughing.

In reality there are no others, and -helping yourself you help everybody else.

Earnestness is the most important thing.

You merely dream that you roam about. In a few years your stay in India will appear as a dream to you. You will dream some other dream at that time. Do realize that it is not you who moves from dream to dream, but the dreams flow before you and you are the immutable witness. No happening affects your real being-that is the absolute truth.

Your weakness is due to your conviction that you were born into the world. In reality the world is ever recreated in you and by you. See everything as emanating from the light which is the source of your own being.
