He Who Thinks He Is

Yogas Chitta Vritti Nirodhah - (yoga Is To Check The Mind From Changing) - Which Is Acceptable To All. That Is Also The Goal Of All. The Method Is Chosen According To One's Own Fitness. The Goal For All Is The Same. Yet Different Names Are Given To The Goal Only To Suit The Process Preliminary To Reaching The Goal. Bhakti, Yoga, Jnana Are All The Same.

The Mind Turned Inwards Is The Self; Turned Outwards, It Becomes The Ego And All The World. Cotton Made Into Various Clothes We Call By Various Names. Gold Made Into Various Ornaments, We Call By Various Names. But All The Clothes Are Cotton And All The Ornaments Gold. The One Is Real, The Many Are Mere Names And Forms.

He Whose Pure Mind Turns Inward And Searches Whence Does This 'i' Arise, Knows The Self And Merges In You, The Lord, As A River Into The Sea.

The Master Is Within; Meditation Is Meant To Remove The Ignorant Idea That He Is Only Outside. If He Is A Stranger Whom You Await, He Is Bound To Disappear Also. What Is The Use Of A Transient Being Like That? But So Long As You Think You Are Separate Or That You Are The Body, An External Master Is Also Necessary And He Will Appear To Have A Body. When The Wrong Identification Of Oneself With The Body Ceases, The Master Will Be Found To Be None Other Than The Self.

The Self Is The One Reality That Always Exists, And It Is By The Light Of The Self That All Other Things Are Seen.
