‘Knowing this, be still!’

Hear ye: Nothing exists. The only reason the world exist is because you think you are the body. You have created God in your own image and you worship that God. The truth is that God should worship you. The universe is a big lie. And if you believe in the universe then you’re a bigger liar. You are all waiting for something to happen. The truth is what is already is happening has already happened. There is nothing else to happen, so let it happen.

There is absolutely nothing for you to do to become self-realized, except shut up. There is noone who can do anything for you and you can do nothing for yourself. It is better therefore to keep quiet and do nothing. There is no teaching that can set you free and there is no teacher that can set you free. Just knowing this, you will already be free. Expect nothing, do nothing, be nothing and you will discover that you are everything. Noone can save and you cannot save yourself. Knowing this, be still!

If you only knew who you were then all the Gods and Goddesses that you have been praying to would fall at your feet. Forget about affirming., “I am not the body,” for if you were not the body why would you affirm you were not the body, consciousness, pure awareness are only words, go beyond that. To know the ultimate truth, you first must know nothing.

The whole universe is a manifestation of your mind. To remove the manifestation examine your mind carefully, diligently by inquiring, “To whom does this come?” It is virtually impossible for you to have a problem. How can you have a problem if you don’t even exist? Do not complicate your life by reading voluminous books. Rather empty yourself up of all the book language you’ve ever had.

Reading a book makes you feel good for a while. But diving within yourself removes all samskaras and samsaras and sets you free. To love yourself is better than reading books and going to lectures or hearing sermons or doing anything. You are That which has always been. Discover what that is. By turning within.
