All are gurus to us, the wicked by their evil deeds say ‘do not come near me’. the good are always good, therefore all are like gurus to us.
All activities and events that a body is to go through are determined at the time of conception.
You need not aspire for or get any new state. Get rid of your present thoughts, that is all.
For those who have obtained unobstructed knowledge of Self, the world is seen merely as a bondage causing imagination.

Your own Self-Realization is the greatest service you can render the world
Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside.
Have faith in God and in yourself; that will cure all. Hope for the best, expect the best, toil for the best and everything will come right for you in the end.
If you hold this feeling of ‘I’ long enough and strongly enough, the false ‘I’ will vanish leaving only the unbroken awareness of the real, immanent ‘I’, consciousness itself.

The degree of freedom from unwanted thoughts and the degree of concentration on a single thought are the measures to gauge spiritual progress.

There is neither creation nor destruction, neither destiny nor free will, neither path nor achievement. This is the final truth.
Consciousness is indeed always with us. Everyone knows ‘I am!’ No one can deny his own being.
Concentration of the mind is in a way common to both Knowledge and Yoga. Yoga aims at union of the individual with the universal, the Reality. This Reality cannot be new. It must exist even now, and it does exist.
