You are not in this world. This world is inside you.

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.

Abandon the false and you are free of pain; truth makes happy, truth liberates.

Having realized that you cannot influence the results, pay no attention to your desires and fears. Let them come and go. Don't give them the nourishment of interest and attention.

Nature is neither pleasant nor painful. It is all intelligence and beauty. Pain and pleasure are in the mind.

Do what you believe in and believe in what you do. The rest is a waste of time and energy.

Laugh with people laughing, cry with people crying, but don't fall into the river of world illusion. Stay on the banks.
