The Guru's Grace (spiritual teacher) is both external and internal. From the outside, he pushes the mind inwards, and from the inside he pulls the mind towards the Self and helps it keep quiet. That is the grace. There is no difference between God, guru and Self. A guru's help is necessary and useful to start you on the inquiry, but you yourself must pursue it.

When you run after your thoughts, you are like a dog chasing a stick, every time a stick is thrown, you run after it Instead be like a lion who, rather than chasing after the stick, turns to face the thrower.

One only throws a stick at a lion once.

No life will be a failure; there is no such thing as failure in the universe. A hundred times man will hurt himself, a thousand times he will tumble, but in the end he will realise that he is God.

But those who are against this jnana that I am teaching, and do not put it into practice in their lives, have lost their discernment and live

in a state of constant confusion.

Though you are the real owners of a treasure, through error you have lost it. For want of knowledge of the Self, all your belongings are in the possession of others.

In what hope are you passing your days?

How can you be content without having your belongings in your possession?

Always you think, 'I EXIST! Every moment your body and mind are changing, but in the midst of all these changes the unchangeable notion 'I EXIST' persists.

You never think 'I do not exist'. This awareness of 'I exist' is the reflection of the real 'I AM'.

When children play 'turn-around', they see the house, hut, door etc. revolving. Your mind is unsteady on account of your desire for sense objects, so you cannot see the True Reality. Be steady and you will find the Truth.

True wisdom comes from within. It is not available from outside. Real knowledge is not 'knowing' but

'self-discovering'-

Maya can be destroyed by the realization of the pure Brahman, the one without a second, just as mistaken idea of a snake is

removed by the discrimination of the rope.

The Truth is so simple and pure, it doesn't need to be taught or learned. It needs only to be pointed out and recognised.

Whether you worship Christ,

Krishna, Kali or Allah, you actually worship the one Light that is also in you, since It pervades all things.
