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.

I have been a seeker and I still am, but I stopped asking the books and the stars.

I started listening to the teaching of my Soul.

You learn by reading but understand by Love.

When we are able to control our minds through mindfulness, everything that appears in samsara and nirvana becomes an aid in our practice and serves to confirm the meaning of the teachings.

When anybody laughs, he has no mind.

Don't try to understand what is spoken here.

Don't try to listen even.

Don't try to have any notion, any hope that...we will be free.

No ideas about what it is...

Then the Supreme itself will enter into your open heart and sit down there permanently, because it is already there.
