Guru, God and Self are One
yoga roots mind
The mind is only a bundle of thoughts. The thoughts have their root in the I-thought. Whoever investigates the True "I" enjoys the stillness of bliss.
self mind normal
The normal self is the mind. The mind is with limitations. But pure Consciousness is beyond limitations, and is reached by investigation into the "I."
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.
