Your duty is to be, and not to be this or that. I Am That I Am sums up the whole truth; the method is summarized in Be Still.

Consciousness is indeed always with us. Everyone knows 'I am!' No one can deny his own being.

All that exists is but the manifestation of the Supreme Being,

It will come all right in the end. There is the steady impulse of your determination that sets you on your feet again after every downfall and breakdown. Gradually the obstacles are all overcome and your current becomes stronger. Everything comes right in the end. Steady determination is what is required.
peace mind reign
Peace can reign only where there is no disturbance, and disturbance is due to thoughts that arise in the mind.

The ultimate truth is so simple; it is nothing more than being in one’s natural, original state.
meditation distraction
When there are thoughts, it is distraction: when there are no thoughts, it is meditation.

To the extent we behave with humility, to that extent good will result.
sage action intense
Non-action is unceasing activity. The sage is characterized by eternal and intense activity. His stillness is like the apparent stillness of a fast rotating gyroscope.
