Awareness is ever there. It need not be realized. Open the shutter of the mind, and it will be flooded with light.

When pain is accepted for what it is, a lesson and a warning, and deeply looked into and heeded, the separation between pain and pleasure breaks down, both become just experience - painful when resisted, joyful when accepted.

You cannot transcend what you do not know. To go beyond yourself, you must know yourself.

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

Your first task is to see the sorrow in you and around you; your next, to long intensely for liberation. The very intensity of longing will guide you; you need no other guide.

In peace and silence, the skin of the 'I' dissolves and the inner and the outer become one.

All separation, every kind of estrangement and alienation is false. All is one.
