Mind is like an ocean - stormy at the surface, calmest in the depths.
The guru cannot awaken you; all that he can do is to point out what is. The guru can give you words; he can give you an explanation, the symbols of the mind, but the symbol is not the real, and if you are caught in the symbol, you will never find the way.
Now you worship His Form, you repeat His name; ignoring His orders. Without practicing the discipline laid down by Rama to purify the mind, all else is mere show, empty rituals.
If one speaks or acts with pure mind, because of that happiness follows one, even as one’s shadow that never leaves.
Everything is blooming most recklessly; if it were voices instead of colours, there would be an unbelievable shrieking into the heart of the night.
Once we surrender our mind to Divine Grace completely, we will be taken care of in every way.
