“Enlightenment and insight refer to the truth realized by pure ‘awareness’ when the ‘false self’—that is, the ‘I’—is dismantled and dissolves.”

“Therefore, enlightenment and insight are by no means things that the ‘self’ comes to ‘know,’ ‘attain,’ or ‘become’ through self-improvement, or ‘transform’ into.”

“Consequently, there is no such thing as the ‘my’ spiritual knowledge or spiritual experience of the ‘mine.’”

“Wisdom belongs to no one and is eternally universal. Pure ‘awareness’ itself is true wisdom.”

“Realizing the absence of the ‘self’ by awareness is precisely what is called the enlightenment of the truth.”

“Truth is also referred to as transcendent and unconditional love.”

“Therefore, opinions based on the comparisons or judgments of the ‘self’ are not the truth.”

“While such opinions may involve conditional love (attachment), they are entirely distinct from transcendent and unconditional love.”

“Whether it is enlightenment or insight, what is required is knowing ‘the self’ by awareness.”

“Through it, the groundlessness of ‘the self’ is revealed;

“When its illusory nature is dismantled and dissolved, what remains is the only thing that truly IS—impersonal, pure existence, awareness, as openness.”

“First, stop lying—so that pure awareness may realize that its presence is always nothing other than The Self, and that there has never been a single moment when it were anything else.”

“Truly realize that ‘I’ know nothing—never through borrowed knowledge, but through self-observation and self-inquiry with the clarity of the innermost stillness without ‘I.’”

“What is needed is not knowledge, but realization by the awareness.”

“Knowledge can perfectly well serve its purpose even after enlightenment or insight; for enlightenment and insight are experiences of direct knowing, entirely devoid of words, Immediacy.”

“After enlightenment, there are no judgments of ‘liking’ or ‘disliking,’ nor of ‘good’ or ‘bad,’ and all intention and resistance to the raw reality vanishes.”

“There arises only pure action, and with it, simply the original, seamless flow in which experience unfolds naturally.”

“Recognize that you are thinking, ‘This world must change.’ Next, recognize that you are assuming it is ‘I’ who is thinking such an important thought.”

“Then—contemplate: what is it, exactly, that is aware of these things?”

“It never results in like this, ‘Ah, I am awareness.’”

“Even if that kind of thought arises, do not entertain it. It is a masquerade—a deception—by the mind (the ego, ‘I’). That, too, is merely another thought.”
