It is only with total humility, and in absolute stillness of mind that we can know what indeed we are.
Realisation is a matter of becoming conscious of that which is already realised.
All the evil in the world, and all the unhappiness, comes from the I-concept.
Do you realise that when you give a schilling to a beggar you are giving it to yourself?Do you realise that when you help a dog over a stile you yourself are being helped?Do you realise when you kick a man when he is down, you are kicking yourslef?Give him another kick, you deserve it!
Do not mistake the pointing finger for the moon.
The only real service we can render to that which we perceive and interpret in phenomenal existence as 'others' is by awakening to universal consciousness ourselves.
