spiritual self world
The Self itself is the world; the Self itself is 'I'; the Self itself is God; all is Siva, the Self.
heart consciousness ultimate-truth
Pure Consciousness, which is the Heart, includes all, and nothing is outside or apart from it. That is the ultimate Truth.
yoga men self
There is no mind to control if you realise the self. The mind having vanished, the self shines forth. In the realised man, the mind may be active or inactive, the self remains for him.
thinking-of-you yoga grief
Turn the mind inward and cease thinking of yourself as the body; thereby you will come to know that the self is ever happy. Neither grief nor misery is experienced in this state.
mean self lasts
Whatever be the means adopted, you must at last return to the Self, so why not abide as the Self here and now?
grief heart sleep
The activity affected by causes like fainting, sleep, excessive joy, grief, possession by spirits, fear etc goes to the heart, its own place.
happiness real self
Nearly all mankind is more or less unhappy because nearly all do not know the true Self. Real happiness abides in Self-knowledge alone. All else is fleeting. To know one's Self is to be blissful always.
doe quiet proof
Does one require proof of one's own being? Only remain aware of yourself and all else will be known.
meditation helping method
See what helps you to keep away all other thoughts and adopt that method for your meditation.
real world brahman
The world is illusory, Only Brahman is real, Brahman is the world
spring heart sky
Grace is always present. You imagine it as something high in the sky, far away, something that has to descend. It is really inside you, in your heart. When the mind rests in its source, grace rushes forth, sprouting as from a spring within you.
self meditation mind
Because truth is exceedingly subtle and serene, the bliss of the Self can manifest only in a mind rendered subtle and steady by assiduous meditation.
yoga self mind
Mind is a wonderful force inherent in the Self.
mother self soul
What exists in truth is the Self alone. The world, the individual soul and God are appearances in it. Like silver in mother-of-pearl, these three appear at the same time and disappear at the same time. The Self is that where there is absolutely no 'I thought'. That is called 'Stillness'. The Self itself is the world; the Self itself is 'I'; the Self itself is God; all is Siva, the Self.
