Only on those days on which the light of self-knowledge shines brightly in one's heart does one live truly.

May 5

Just as the sweetness of sugar is known only by direct experience, the nature of enlightenment is known only by direct experience....It is comparable in some respects to deep sleep: but it is truly incomparable, indescribable.

The conditioned mind creates bondage even in ascetics; the unconditioned mind is pure even in a householder. The mind that is thus conditioned is bondage; liberation is freedom from conditioning (inner contact, attachment or identification).

May 7

That mind which is unattached to anything, which is established in the peace of infinite expansion, is conducive to delight. He who stands rooted in self-knowledge is liberated here and now.

May 8

The mind should rest in pure consciousness as pure consciousness, with just a little externalized movement of thought, as if aware of the utter vanity of the objects of this world.

May 9

Let this truth be firmly established in you: there is no bondage or liberation at any time for anyone anywhere.

May 10

In the unlimited and unconditioned vision of the knower of the truth, all this is but the one self, the infinite consciousness, and there is nothing that can be regarded as the not-self....Be not deluded. Abandon false perception and behold the truth; you will never again be deluded.
