The master of you...

Only when man realizes the Self

does he attain his full maturity

and find completeness.


As you leave form,

and dive into that light which you become,

you realize beyond realization

a knowing deeper than thinking,

deeper than understanding:

a knowing which is the very,

very depth of your being.

You realize immortality,

that you are immortal.


Little by little you find

that you are turning inward,

opening up the inner channels

more and more each day,

making a greater contact with the Self

by turning within,

drawing yourself ever closer

to the pole at the center,

the core of your Being.


You must be the master of you

when you sit for meditation.

You are seeking for the pure Self of you.

At that time you are not concerned

with anyone else.


Go in and in and in.

And then go in and in and in.

And after that go in and in

and in and in and in.


You cannot rely upon anything in form;

there is no permanence in form;

there is no divinity in form.

Relax your concepts

and do not seek divinity in the mind,

for only in the formless Self

does divinity exist.


Most of the time awareness is held in

thoughts, feelings, and actions

of the mind's outer dimensions,

caught there just as a fish is caught

in the tangled net of the fisherman.

By untangling the net,

the fish is set free,

and by unraveling the outer mind,

making it calm and undisturbed,

awareness is set free

in the deeper dimensions

of consciousness.


Learn from within yourself,

in the privacy of your own inner peace.


It is up to you and you alone

to penetrate the veil of illusion

and realize the Self,

the Absolute,

beyond desire,

beyond all experiences of the mind.


Realization of the Absolute is simple.

Our thoughts and concepts

make it seem difficult.
