There seem to be two kinds of searchers: those who seek to make their ego something other than it is, i.e. holy, happy, unselfish (as though you could make a fish unfish), and those who understand that all such attempts are just gesticulation and play-acting, that there is only one thing that can be done, which is to disidentify themselves with the ego, by realising its unreality, and by becoming aware of their eternal identity with pure being.

It is not for us to search, but to remain still; to achieve Immobility not Action.

~ Wei Wu Wei

The saint is a man who disciplines his ego. The sage is a man who rids himself of his ego.

~ Wei Wu Wei

As long as there is a “you” doing or not-doing, thinking or not-thinking, “meditating” or
“not-meditating”, you are no closer to home than the day you were born.

~ Wei Wu Wei

Why are you unhappy? Because 99.9 percent of everything you do is for yourself. And there
isn’t one.

Our task is not to be thinking. Our task is to be ‘thought.’

~ Aldous Huxley

Go as far as you can see; when you get there, you will be able to see further.

~ Unknown

That which cannot be understood can be known. To be known it must not be filtered by unknowingness, which is the mind. The mind accepts and rejects. What it rejects, you choose not to know. Let go of this acceptance and rejection mechanism. Rest without thought, and discover what is known.

~ Thoughts of Awakening

Steady as the ocean’s depths, peaceful, serene; Among all seeming changes, swayed not at all. This is the mark of the Self. Focus yourself on depth. It is unchanging, even now. Don’t try to make it at the level of surface where changes can be swift and dramatic. Dive to find it. Sink. Settle into it. It is already and always there.

~ Thoughts of Awakening

Realization of true Self is the only goal worth aiming for. Notice all other thoughts that say, “I must achieve this or that in order to be great.” Answer quietly and confidently each idea by saying, “I must know my Self. I need not achieve anything else.”
