Whatever state I am in, I see it as a state of mind to be accepted as it is.

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.

The old grooves must be erased in your brain, without forming new ones. You must realize yourself as the immovable, behind and beyond the movable, the silent witness of all that happens.

It is your restlessness that causes chaos.

Earnestness is the most important thing.

When all names and forms have been given up, the real is with you. You need not seek it.

Give all your attention to the question: 'What is it that makes me conscious?', until your mind becomes the question itself and cannot think of anything else.
