Let what comes come, let what goes go.
spiritual heart mind
Calmness is the criterion of spiritual progress. Plunge the purified mind into the Heart. Then the work is over.
giving causes surrender
Surrender is to give oneself up to the original cause of one's being.
self inquiry burning
By the inquiry 'Who am I?'. The thought 'who am I?' will destroy all other thoughts, and like the stick used for stirring the burning pyre, it will itself in the end get destroyed. Then, there will arise Self-realization.
meditation distraction
When there are thoughts, it is distraction: when there are no thoughts, it is meditation.
silence chaos conversation
Silence is also conversation.
have-faith toil faith-in-god
Have faith in God and in yourself; that will cure all. Hope for the best, expect the best, toil for the best and everything will come right for you in the end.
mind sage brahman
The pure mind is itself Brahman; it therefore follows that Brahman is not other than the mind of the sage.
real sea differences
Aim high, aim at the highest, and all lower aims are thereby achieved. It is looking below on the stormy sea of differences that makes you sink. Look up, beyond these and see the One Glorious Real, and you are saved.
thinking self world
If a person realises his position and stays in his own self, things that are to happen will happen. Things that are not to happen will not happen. The shakti that is in the world, is only one. All these troubles arise if we think that we are separate from that shakti.
self aging immortal
Discover your undying Self and be immortal and happy.
wind self worry
You and I are the same. What I have done is surely possible for all. You are the Self now and can never be anything else. Throw your worries to the wind, turn within and find Peace.
You are already That which you seek.
reality self goal
Self-inquiry is the process and the goal also. 'I am' is the goal and the final reality. To hold to it with effort is self-inquiry. When spontaneous and natural it is realization.
