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

Wisdom is knowing I am nothing, Love is knowing I am everything, and between the two my life moves.

The mind is what it thinks. To make it true, think true.

I simply followed (my teacher's) instruction which was to focus the mind on pure being 'I am', and stay in it. I used to sit for hours together, with nothing but the 'I am' in my mind and soon peace and joy and a deep all-embracing love became my normal state. In it all disappeared -- myself, my Guru, the life I lived, the world around me. Only peace remained and unfathomable silence.

Even for a moment do not think that you are the body. Give yourself no name, no shape. In the darkness and the silence reality is found.

Truth is not a reward for good behaviour, nor a prize for passing some tests. It cannot be brought about. It is the primary, the unborn, the ancient source of all that is. You are eligible because you are. You need not merit truth. It is your own....Stand still, be quiet.

The relinquishing of the lesser is the gaining of the greater. Give up all and you gain all.
