I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

If you tighten the string too much it will snap, and if the string is too loose it won't play

Invite the breath,
the outer space,
to come within your house.

If you are unwavering,
placing it there
as though you were
putting oil in a lamp,...
They shall meet.
Breath and God
becoming one.
Like wind becoming breath

The Great Awareness becomes Siva.

Since everything is but an apparition, having nothing to do with good or bad, acceptance or rejection, one may well burst out in laughter.

One should be honest and faithful, without deception, chatter, hinting or belittling, not always ready to add gain to gain, but with the sense-doors guarded, moderate, a maker of peace, observant, active and strenuous in effort, a meditator, mindful, with proper conversation, steady-going, resolute and sensible, not hankering after sense pleasures, but mindful and prudent.

'For a long time I have been defrauded, deceived and cheated by the mind, by clinging to body, feeling, perception, mental constructs and consciouness. Conditioned by this clinging there was becoming; conditioned by becoming there was birth; conditioned by birth, old age, dying, grief, sorrow, suffering, lamentation and despair came into being. This is the origin of this whole mass of suffering'

Be an island unto yourselves, be a refuge unto yourselves, take for yourselves no other refuge.

Since I went forth
From home into homelessness
I have not been aware of having
Any ignoble or hateful thoughts, such as:

"May they be killed, may they be slaughtered,
May they come to harm."
Such thoughts have not crossed my mind
For a long time.

On the contrary, I am aware of thoughts of love,
Infinite, well-developed,
Practised in due order
As taught by...

"We will be contended with no matter what robes, food, shelter or medicine we get. We will be contented with what we get and do nothing unseemly in order to get such things. If we are not able to get robes, food and so on, we will not perturb, and if we do get them we will use them without clinging and infatuation, doing no...
