CONSCIOUS IMMORTALITY

Q: What is liberation?

M: It is to know that you were not born. 

'Be still and know that I am God'.

To be still is not to think, 'I am God'.

You have lost hold of your Self. Turn inwards. If you look for the mind's source, it will vanish leaving the Self behind. You will become conscious of it later but that does not mean that your nature is different from meditation even now. 

Stillness or peace is realization. There is no moment when the Self is not. So long as there is doubt or the feeling of non­ realization, an attempt must be made to rid oneself of these thoughts. The thoughts are due to identification of the Self with the non-self. 

When non-self disappears, the Self alone remains. To make room, it is enough that cramping is removed. 

Space is not created afresh. No! — more than that — space is there, even in the cramping.
