Pleasure puts you to sleep and pain wakes you up. If you don't want to suffer, don't go to sleep.

Self-remembrance, awareness of 'I am' ripens him powerfully and speedily. Give up all ideas about yourself and simply be.

Do you realize the unimaginable greatness, the holiness of what you so casually call 'consciousness'? It is the unmanifest Absolute aware of its awareness through the manifestation, of which your mind-body is presently a part.

You know that you are. Don't burden yourself with names, just be. Any name or shape you give yourself obscures your real nature.

To know that you are neither the body nor mind, watch yourself steadily and live unaffected by your body and mind, completely aloof, as if you were dead. It means you have no vested interests, either in the body or in the mind.

For me the moment of death will be a moment of jubilation, not of fear. I cried when I was born and I shall die laughing.

When you demand nothing of the world, nor of God, when you want nothing, seek nothing, expect nothing, then the supreme state will come to you uninvited and unexpected.
