The attitude of silent observation is the very foundation of yoga. You see the picture, but you are not the picture.

You must realize first of all that you are the proof of everything, including yourself. None can prove your existence, because his existence must be confirmed by you first. Your being and knowing you owe nobody. Remember, you are entirely on your own. You do not come from somewhere, you do not go anywhere. You are timeless being and awareness.

You are not the mind. If you know you are not the mind, then what difference does it make if it's busy or quiet? You are not the mind.

When you demand nothing of the world, nor of God, when you want nothing, seek nothing, expect nothing, then the supreme state will come to you uninvited and unexpected.

The real does not die, the unreal never lived.

Freedom to do what one likes is really bondage, while being free to do what one must, what is right, is real freedom.

Love is not selective, desire is selective. In love there are no strangers. When the centre of selfishness is no longer, all desires for pleasure and fear of pain cease; one is no longer interested in being happy; beyond happiness there is pure intensity, inexhaustible energy, the ecstasy of giving from a perennial source.
