Know Thyself
"When asked what is yoga, Lord Mahavir answered, 'one work at a time'. This way all actions are yoga. 'All simple things are very difficult". Remove your egotistical attitudes, remove your pride and your greed. Try it. It is very simple...and very difficult. Serve selflessly. Love selflessly. Attachment and attraction is not love. Love is unconditional. Love is perfect. Don't think about the fruit of your actions, or you will lose everything."
"Mind, body and breath should move together. Focus your mind and do one work at a time. This is meditation. Know thyself. If you do not know yourself, then how can you know God? Know your body first. Without the body, we can't do anything. Read the body- this is our greatest book of knowledge. Go in. Use the breath as a vehicle. Use sound as a vehicle."
"We must reach unstruck sound and uncreated light. This is the purpose of meditation. By gross sound one can catch subtle sound. When you catch the divine unstruck sound, consciousness unfolds... you dissolve... you merge... and ultimately you are nothing."
