“It’s ego – the false self – that exalts the guru and declares the teaching sacred, but nothing is exalted or sacred, only true or not true.”

“The you that you think of as you (and that thinks of you as you, and so on) is not you, it’s just the character that the underlying truth of you is dreaming into existence. Enlightenment isn’t in the character, it’s in the underlying truth.”

“Enlightenment isn’t when you go there; it’s when there comes here.”

“There’s nothing left to contend against and nothing left that must be done, and there will never be anything that must be done ever again.”

“The bottom line remains the same: you’re either awake or you’re not.One day, there it is. Nothing. No more enemies, no more battles.”

“It is your show.It is your universe.There is no one else here, just you,and nothing is being withheld from you.You are completely on your own.Everything is available for direct knowing.No one else has anything you need.No one else can lead you, pull you, push you or carry you.”

“The point is to wake up, not to earn a Ph.D. In waking up.”
