OLD::NEW
The old way has to die
for the new to come.
Death of the old
is the birth
of the new.
The
tongue
creates
shape
and
form.
What use is any knowledge
without knowledge of oneself?
Consciousness
is
a
mirror.
There is a fine line
between a fool
and a wise man.
Enlightenment
is the removal
of that line.
Everyone is born equal.
The difference lies
in what one attains.
Everlasting life
exists beyond the mind.
How does one go beyond the mind?
By asking that question.
Truth
always wins
over delusion.
There is a spark of life
in each and every one of us.
Look after that spark.
There is no difference
between the spark
and the fire.
The whole of life
is built on
that one idea.
I AM
All relationships
are based on
that one relationship –
the relationship with oneself.
To see
the need
for change –
that’s all.
When you become
the center
of your own attention
you will never
want attention
from anyone else.
What is the World?
If pleasure is addictive,
don’t you think pain
is also addictive?
Learn to listen
without thinking.
One tiny spark can burn down a whole forest.
One tiny spark can burn down a forest of desires.
What is the most attractive?
The Light,
which reveals the Truth,
which is the Way.
Stable,
in the midst
of all diversity.
If we could do it for ourselves,
If we could get ourselves free;
What is the need for the Guru?
The
Gurus’
way
works.
The sound produced
by the breathing mechanism
is called
HAM SA : I AM
I AM the Light.
I AM the Truth.
I AM the Way.
I AM is the Light.
I AM is the Truth.
I AM is the Way.
When attention is placed on the breathing
and the space between the breaths;
that is the opening door.
KNOCK
AND THE DOOR
WILL BE OPENED
UP TO YOU.
Attention is the knocking.
The space between the breath is the door.
The silence is you.
All secrets
are in
the space
between the breath.
What could be simpler?
It is a simple child-like state.
Have the innocence of a child.
Saints become sinners.
Sinners can become saints.
Don’t become either.
