Being oneself is completely beyond all motivation. You cannot be yourself for some reason. You are yourself, and no reason is needed.

When I look beyond the mind, I see the witness. Beyond the witness, there is infinite intensity of emptiness and silence.

The mind is what it thinks. To make it true, think true.

Give up all ideas about yourself and simply be.

There is no second, or higher self to search for. You are the highest self, only give up the false ideas you have about your self.

I find that somehow, by shifting the focus of attention, I become the very thing I look at, and experience the kind of consciousness it has; I become the inner witness of the thing. I call this capacity of entering other focal points of consciousness, love; you may give it any name you like. Love says "I am everything". Wisdom says "I am nothing". Between the two, my life flows. Since at any point of time and space I can be both the subject and the object of experience, I express it by saying that I am both, and neither, and beyond both.

Stay open and quiet, that is all. What you seek is so near you that there is no place for a way.
