In nature nothing is at standstill, everything pulsates, appears and disappears. Heart, breath, digestion, sleep and waking – birth and death – everything comes and goes in waves. Rhythm, periodicity, harmonious alternation of extremes is the rule. No use rebelling against the very pattern of life.

Once you understand that the false needs time and what needs time is false, you are nearer the Reality, which is timeless, ever in the NOW.

The real is behind and beyond words, incommunicable, directly experienced, explosive in its effect on the mind. It is easily had when nothing else is wanted.

All that happens is the cause of all that happens. Causes are numberless; the idea of a sole cause is an illusion.

In the great mirror of consciousness, images arise and disappear and only memory gives them continuity. And memory is material – destructible, perishable, transient. On such flimsy foundations we build a sense of personal existence – vague, intermittent, dreamlike. This vague persuasion, “I am so-and-so,” obscures the changeless state of pure awareness and makes us believe that we are born to suffer and to die.

Time is in the mind, space is in the mind. The law of cause and effect is also a way of thinking. In reality all is here and now and all is one. Multiplicity and diversity are in the mind only.

Earnestness is the most important thing.

For me the moment of death will be a moment of jubilation, not of fear. I cried when I was born and I shall die laughing.

Consciousness is power. Be aware of what needs be done and it will be done. Only keep alert – and quiet. Once you reach your destination and know your real nature, your existence becomes a blessing to all. You may not know, nor will the world know; yet the help radiates.

Shift your attention from words to silence and you will hear.
