There is nothing to do, just be. Do nothing. Be. No climbing mountains and sitting in caves. I do not even say "be yourself" since you do not know yourself. Just be.

All will happen as you want it, provided you really want it.

Know yourself to be the changeless witness of the changeful mind. That is enough.

Surely the memory of an event cannot pass for the event itself. Nor can the anticipation. There is something exceptional, unique, about the present event, which the previous, or the coming do not have. There is livingness about it, an actuality; it stands out as if illumined. There is the "stamp of reality" on the actual, which the past and future do not have.

The personal needs a base, a body to identify oneself with, just as a colour needs a surface to appear on.

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.

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.
