There is neither creation nor destruction, neither destiny nor free will, neither path nor achievement. This is the final truth.
If there is anything besides the Self there is reason to fear? Who sees the second? First, the ego arises and sees objects as external. If the ego does not rise, the Self alone exists and there is no second.
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.
Consciousness is indeed always with us. Everyone knows ‘I am!’ No one can deny his own being.
It is the Higher Power which does everything, and the man is only a tool. If he accepts that position, he is free from troubles; otherwise, he courts them.
