The Formless Self...

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.
