The seeker is he who is in search of himself.

​

***

​

Give up all questions except for one: "Who am I?"

After all, the only fact you are sure of is that you are.

The "I am" is certain. The "I am this" is not.

Struggle to find out what you are in reality.

​

***

​

To know what you are, you must first investigate

and know what you are not.

​​

***

​

Discover all that you are not: body, feelings, thoughts, time,

space, this or that; nothing, concrete or abstract, which you

perceive can be you. The very act of perceiving shows that

you are not what you perceive.

​

***

​

The clearer you understand that on the level of mind you

can be described in negative terms only, the quicker you will

come to the end of your search and realize that 

you are the limitless being.

​

***

​

Suffering is due to non-acceptance.

When pain is accepted for what it is - a lesson and a warning,

and deeply looked into and heeded,

the separation between pain and pleasure breaks down;

both become experience,

painful when resisted, joyful when accepted.

​

***

​

What you need will come to you - 

if you refrain from asking for what you don't need.

​

***

​

Do not be afraid of freedom from desire and fear.

It enables you to live a life so different from all you know,

so much more interesting and intense, that, truly,

by losing all, you gain all.

​

***

 

Your burden is of false self-identifications - abandon them all.
