To that householder whose mind has attained utter quiescence his house itself is the forest. If the mind is at peace and if there is no ego-sense, even cities are as void.

April 30
Not until one renounces everything is self-knowledge gained: when all points of view are abandoned, what remains is the self.....it (omnipotent consciousness) is free from the defect of objectivity. It is beyond being and not-being, though it is the reality in all being. It pervades all being in the universe. It is the beauty in all, it is the light of all. It is the essence of all forms and all modifications: yet it is beyond all these. At all times it is all in all.

The anxiety caused by thoughts like "I have got this now," "I shall get that too," burns the ignorant. "This is" and "that is not"--such notions cause restlessness in the egoist. But if the ego-sense ceases to be then the illusive world-appearance does not germinate again and all cravings come to an end.

When the pure heart contemplates the infinite space (dimension) of consciousness which is the source of all bliss and which is within easy reach of all, it rests in the supreme self.

That is known as the state of samadhi in which there is eternal satisfaction, clear perception of what is, egolessness, not being subject to the pairs of opposites, freedom from anxiety and from the wish to acquire or reject....even if you engage yourself in the activities relating to your daily life and even if likes and dislikes arise in you, your inner being will never be impure....even as the eyes of fish are not affected by sea-water.

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.
