The Self Cannot Be Found

Whatever Is Destined Not To Happen Will Not Happen, Try As You May. Whatever Is Destined To Happen Will Happen, Do What You May To Prevent It. This Is Certain. The Best Course, Therefore, Is To Remain Silent.

If You Go The Way Of Your Thoughts You Will Be Carried Away By Them And You Will Find Yourself In An Endless Maze.

Because Truth Is Exceedingly Subtle And Serene, The Bliss Of The Self Can Manifest Only In A Mind Rendered Subtle And Steady By Assiduous Meditation.

The Grace Of The Guru Is Like An Ocean. If One Comes With A Cup He Will Only Get A Cupful. It Is No Use Complaining Of The Niggardliness Of The Ocean. The Bigger The Vessel The More One Will Be Able To Carry. It Is Entirely Up To Him.

A Man Does Not Have To Go And Find Where His Eyes Are In Order To See. The Heart Is There, Always Open To You, If You Care To Enter It, Always Supporting Your Movements, Although You May Be Unaware Of It. It Is Perhaps More Correct To Say That The Self Is The Heart. Really The Self Is The Centre And Is Everywhere Aware Of Itself As The Heart Or Self-awareness.
