STILLNESS
So you come to sit with me in the Silence. Be still. Know that you are effortless, choiceless, Pure Awareness. Know this deep in your heart. As soon as thoughts come to you, ignore them. Let the thoughts come, let the thoughts go. Pay absolutely no attention to the thoughts, and they'll disappear of their own volition. But you try to change them, and the power of them will become so much stronger. Remember, don't try to exchange good thoughts with bad thoughts, or bad thoughts with good thoughts. Whenever thoughts come to you just ignore them. Sometime in the morning, just scream it out at the top of your voice, "I am effortless, choiceless, Pure Awareness." That'll send the message home, who you really are. And go through the day like this.
Be still! If you can only be still enough, you will feel this unalloyed happiness within you arising. And you will just become happy for no reason whatsoever. But it only comes when you're still, when you're quiet, when you're peaceful. Do not be two different people, one who comes to satsang and is quiet and one who argues in the world all day long with people, and finds everything wrong in the world, gets angry, gets mad and upset. Be one person. All pervading Consciousness. Be That.
Never allow yourself to believe that something's wrong in your life. Catch it before it starts. And say to yourself: "I am effortless, choiceless, Pure Awareness." Whatever comes up, say that. Know the truth about yourself. God has no problems. Neither do you. For you are That.

“Don't worry about anything at all. You are not here by accident. This form is just a costume for a while. But the one who is behind the costume, this one is eternal. You must know this. If you know this and trust this, you don't have to worry about anything. This world is so full of love. And your heart, your being, is so full of love, so full of peace. You don't have to go to some place else to find peace. It is right where you are.“
Mooji

A man asked the Maharshi to say something to him. When asked what he wanted to know, he said that he knew nothing and wanted to hear something from the Maharshi.
Sri Ramana Maharshi :
You know that you know nothing.
Find out that knowledge.
That is liberation (mukti).
~Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi -12.

BHAGAVAN'S TEACHINGS IN EIGHT POINTS
1. Turn the mind inward and rest in your own Self.
2. Mind is the cause of bondage.
3. Give up one thing after another and rest in peace.
4. What we get, we shall lose, so desire not.
5. There are two kinds of meditation. The first is to be practised by advanced aspirants — nirguna dhyana — where one seeks to know the Meditator himself. The second kind is to be practised by those less advanced — a some what round about course — saguna dhyana — where the meditator, meditation and the object of meditation get merged ultimately into one.
6. When I come to know that I was never born, I shall never die. Death is for one who is born. I was never born. I have no body and so I shall never die. I am everywhere; where am I to go and where am I to come?
7. When a man’s mind is dead, he will not die again.
8. Attain the sushupti (state of sleep) in the jagrat (waking) state, and you become a jnani.
Recorded in June 1918 By C.V. Subramania Aiyer
