That means that you should seek the source and merge in it.вЂќ Do not delude yourself by imagining such a source to be some God outside you. Surrender is to give oneself up to the original cause of one's being. вЂњIt is not enough that one surrenders oneself. So you must turn inward and see where the mind rises from, and then it will cease to exist.вЂќ He will go with you and pretend to catch the thief, but nothing will be gained. вЂњTo ask the mind to kill itself is like making the thief the policeman. All that is necessary is to know its existence is in you. Grace is not something to be acquired from others. вЂњAll that is required to realise the Self is to Гўв‚¬Е“Be Still.вЂќ When all of them have been given up, the Self will shine alone.вЂќ

Similarly we have simply to throw out all the age-long samskaras which are inside us. The space was there then and is also there now. We have just removed the earth which was filling the space there. The space in the pit or well has not been created by us. We are not creating anything new or achieving something which we did not have before. What is there to realise? The real is as it is always. вЂњTo know one's Self is to be blissful always.вЂќ See the source from where the ego arises and abide in it. Hold it the other thoughts will die away - the ego will be left pure. вЂњSee who is the doubter, who is the thinker. вЂњThe inquiry 'who am I' turns the mind introvert and makes it calm.вЂќ Solve that great problem and you will solve all other problems.вЂќ вЂњYou have to ask yourself the question 'Who am I?' This investigation will lead in the end to the discovery of something within you which is behind the mind. вЂњWhen we turn the mind inwards, God manifests as the inner consciousness.вЂќ The feeling of limitation is the work of the mind.вЂќ вЂњYour true nature is that of infinite spirit.

Then you will be able to abide in the ever-present inmost Self and be free from the idea of birth or the fear of death.вЂќ He will discover that the Self always exists, that the body that is born resolves itself into thought and that the emergence of thought is the root of all mischief. Let him find out if he has been born or if the Self has any birth. вЂњIf a man considers that he is born, he cannot avoid the fear of death. Later you take on limitations and become the mind.вЂќ You are originally unlimited and perfect. вЂњMind is consciousness which has put on limitations. Really the Self is the centre and is everywhere aware of itself as the Heart or Self-awareness.вЂќ It is perhaps more correct to say that the Self is the Heart. 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.

вЂњA man does not have to go and find where his eyes are in order to see. Because the ego is no entity it will automatically vanish and reality will shine forth by itself.вЂќ Therefore, experience takes place only in the present, and beyond experience nothing exists.вЂќ Yesterday was the present to you when you experienced it, and tomorrow will be also the present when you experience it. Thus the Heart is the nucleus of the whole Universe.вЂќ вЂњThe entire Universe is condensed in the body, and the entire body in the Heart. Transforming yourself is a means of giving light to the whole world.вЂќ

Because it shines, the whole world is full of light. вЂњCorrecting oneself is correcting the whole world. вЂњRealisation is not acquisition of anything new nor is it a new faculty. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside.вЂќ вЂњWe are so engrossed with the objects, or appearances revealed by the light, that we pay no attention to the light.вЂќ Г‚В Self surrender is synonymous with eternal happiness.вЂќ Г‚В Failure, on the other hand, is beneficial, inasmuch as it opens his eyes to his limitations and prepares him to surrender himself. Г‚В Why should one's attempts always be attended by success? Г‚В Success breeds arrogance and man's spiritual progress is thus arrested. Г‚В It is not synonymous with certain success. вЂњWillpower should be understood to be the strength of the mind, which makes it capable of meeting success or failure with equanimity. Those who succeed owe their success to perseverance.вЂќ
