The real you is timeless and beyond life and death.

No particular thought can be mind's natural state, only silence. Not the idea of silence, but silence itself. When the mind is in its natural state, it reverts to silence spontaneously after every experience, or, rather, every experience happens against the background of silence.

How can an unsteady mind make itself steady? Of course it cannot. It is the nature of the mind to roam about. All you can do is to shift the focus of consciousness beyond the mind.

Between the banks of pleasure and pain flows the river of life. If you spend much time on either bank you will miss out on life.

It is your fixed idea that you must be something or other, that blinds you.

The first steps in self-acceptance are not at all pleasant, for what one sees is not a happy sight. One needs all the courage to go further.

Only the people who have gone beyond the world can change the world.
