You have projected onto yourself a world of your own imagination, based on memories, on desires and fears, and you have imprisoned yourself in it. Break the spell and be free.

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.

All happiness comes from awareness. The more we are conscious the deeper the joy. Acceptance of pain, non-resistance, courage and endurance - these open deep and perennial sources of real happiness, true bliss.

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

To be a living being is not the ultimate state; there is something [the Reality] beyond, much more wonderful, which is neither being nor non-being, neither living nor not-living. It is a state of Pure Awareness, beyond the limitations of space and time.

In reality, time and space exist in you. You do not exist in them.

Instead of searching for what you do not have, find out what it is that you have never lost.
