Knowledge gives power. In practice it is very simple. To control yourself, know yourself.

Absolute perfection is here and now, not in some future, near or far.

The world does not yield to changing. By its very nature it is painful and transient. See it as it is and divest yourself of all desire and fear. When the world does not hold and bind you, it becomes an abode of joy and beauty. You can be happy in the world only when you are free of it.

Just as every drop of the ocean carries the taste of the ocean, so does every moment carry the taste of eternity.

Get hold of the main thing: That the world and the self are one and perfect. Only your attitude is faulty and needs readjustment.

Unless you know yourself, what else can you know?

With self-awareness you grow more intelligent. In awareness you learn, in self-awareness you learn about yourself. Of course, you can only learn what you are not. To know what you are, you must go beyond the mind. Awareness is the point at which the mind reaches out beyond itself into reality. In awareness you seek not what pleases, but what is true.
