Who was born first, you or the world? As long as you give first place to the world, you are bound by it; once you realize, beyond all trace of doubt, that the world is in you and not you in the world, you are out of it. Of course your body remains in the world and of the world, but you are not deluded by it.

If you imagine yourself as separate from the the world, the world will appear as separate from you and you will experience desire and fear. I do not see the world as separate from me and so there is nothing for me to desire, or fear.

You will get to your maturity quickly if you stay in the nothingness.

When you desire the common good, the whole world desires with you. Make humanity's desire your own and work for it. There you cannot fail.

When you believe yourself to be a person, you see persons everywhere. In reality there are no persons, only threads of memories and habits. At the moment of realisation the person ceases.

What is beautiful? Whatever is perceived joyfully is beautiful. Bliss is the essence of beauty.

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.
