Wisdom is knowing I am nothing, Love is knowing I am everything, and between the two my life moves.

Don't ask the mind to confirm what is beyond the mind. Direct experience is the only valid confirmation.

Freedom to do what one likes is really bondage, while being free to do what one must, what is right, is real freedom.

Unless you make tremendous efforts, you will not be convinced that effort will take you nowhere. The self is so self-confident that unless it is totally discouraged it will not give up. Mere verbal conviction is not enough. Hard facts alone can show the absolute nothingness of the self-image.

Give up the idea of being a person, that is all. You need not become what you are anyhow. There is the identity of what you are and there is the person superimposed on it.
