Make your behavior like that of that Master you actually are, believing that you are not.

You are not the doer. 

You are not doing a thing, mentally. 


Your mind is quiescent, calm like a motionless lake. 


And yet your body is doing whatever it's supposed to do. 


If you're supposed to be a bank manager you become one, 


but yet your mind is not active. 


If you're supposed to be a garbage collector you become that, 


there's no difference, it's all the same. 


Your mind is not working but the Self is. 


And just like the tree, it does not think,

Your nature is to be in glory, in bliss. 


Your nature is to be totally enlightened. 


Your nature is consciousness. 


Your nature is to cause the I of yourself to disappear, 


to annihilate the mind and the ego and


become totally free and liberated.

Rightness will come to you.

"Don't think! Just know where you are. Realize your physical
position; see how your thoughts are colliding now, wondering
'What should I do next....am I doing it right?' You can't do
it right; you're not supposed to do it right. You're supposed
to see that you do it wrong. Then the rightness will come to you."

Nobody sees a flower...

Really. It is so small---we haven't time, and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time.

The load from the past is the present misery.


M: There is a class of people who want to know all about their future and past births. They ignore the present. The load from the past is the present misery. Why recall the past? It is a waste of time.

A Psalm of Life

Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem. 

Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul. 

Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way;
But to act, that each to-morrow
Find us farther than to-day. 

Art is long, and Time is fleeting,
And our hearts, though stout and brave,
Still, like muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave. 

In the world's broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of Life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle!
Be a hero in the strife! 

Trust no Future, howe'er pleasant!
Let the dead Past bury its dead!
Act,--act in the living Present!
Heart within, and God o'erhead! 

Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time;-- 

Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o'er life's solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again. 

Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.

Transition from thinking.

"The whole secret lies in making the transition from a thinking, plotting, planning, scheming mind to a mind at rest in the state of awareness, through which divine ideas can flow."

Outside your consciousness does anything exist?

"This world of yours, that so much needs looking after, lives and moves in your mind.  Delve into it, you will find your answers there and there only. Where else do you expect it to come from? Outside your consciousness does anything exist?" 

Peace and harmony must come from within.

"I am reading newspapers, I know what is going on! But my reaction is not like yours. You are looking for a cure, while I am concerned with prevention. As long as there are causes, there must also be results. As long as people are bent on dividing and separating, as long as they are selfish and aggressive, such things ( horrors in the world ) will happen. If you want peace and harmony in the world, you must have peace and harmony in your hearts and minds. Such change cannot be imposed. It must come from within. Those who abhor war must get war out of their system."
