I Am
Just be aware that you are and remain aware—don't say: 'yes, I am; what next?' There is no 'next' in 'I am'. It is a timeless state.

I Am
“Give up all questions except one: ‘Who am I?’ After all, the only fact you are sure of is that you are. The ‘I am’ is certain. The ‘I am this’ is not. Struggle to find out what you are in reality. To know what you are, you must first investigate and know what you are not. Discover all that you are not -- body, feelings thoughts, time, space, this or that -- nothing, concrete or abstract, which you perceive can be you. The very act of perceiving shows that you are not what you perceive. The clearer you understand on the level of mind you can be described in negative terms only, the quicker will you come to the end of your search and realise that you are the limitless being.” ~Nisargadatta Maharaj, from I AM THAT.

ideas
"it is all the mind can do - discover the unreal as unreal. The problem is only mental. Abandon false ideas, that is all. There is no need of true ideas. There aren't any." - Nisargadatta Maharaj

falling flat
We will fall flat on our faces again and again, we will continue to feel inadequate, and we can use these experiences to wake up...

Ramana Maharishi
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 summarised in `be still'.

no thing
Amid the vastness of the things among which we live, the existence of nothingness holds the first place. ~ Leonardo da Vinci

letting go
If we let go, form is merely form, sound is sound, odor is odor, taste is taste, touch is touch, the heart is merely the heart. ~ Ajahn Chah
