• A true Master never dies, Mr. dies. The True Master is the Sath Guru within, the only Reality.
• You are not an object, you are pure subjectivity.
• Words are not equal to experience. Ultimately, experience is important. The teaching is absolutely useless, if among those who practice it, there are none who took the teaching so much that it turned into an experience.
• Something brought you here. Trust that it will satisfy its own intention to take you Home.
• 'Keep quiet' means stop pursuing thoughts.
• Emptiness is the greatest freedom. No person can be in that. And this is the best absence: the absence of a person. Only in this absence is God revealed.
• One's greatest service is to keep one’s mind merged in the indwelling Self who is timeless awareness and absolute Truth.
• Be where the seeing arises from, where even the seeing is being seen. Just be there. This is your home.
• No, you are not good enough. You are perfect and complete from before the beginning of time.
• Everything I tell you is already known within you as wordless intuition and intimate being.
• As mind merges in the heart, true understanding awakens. You are the invisible inside the visible, the unmoving inside all movements.
• The vastness that is seen by the mind is not the Self. The vastness in which the mind is seen is the Self.
• Life is only now. It can never be tomorrow. Tomorrow is only a concept. One of the worst things is to miss the recognition of your own good fortune. You are life itself.
• You are beauty itself. Beauty is not merely a physical thing. It is a heart that is open to God, to Truth, to existence itself, fearlessly.
