The mind is only a product of vast consciousness and a tool for handling daily events.

And, the tool is a tool; it cannot know its maker.

How can a sword, no matter how sharp, know its maker?

Ideas, beliefs, concepts, imaginations, mutual discussions, scriptures full of words, gurus, and preachers can guide you, but not take you to God-realization.

Only realizing the futility of the mind on the spiritual path can lead one to God realization.

The most significant help the mind can give you is to take you within, and surrender itself when the right moment comes.

Only the absence of the mind leads you to God realization; it is the only obstacle between you and God.

Those who revel in Sansar and keep running after beauty, fame, money, and the sense-pleasing foods offered by Sansar while at the same time trying to find Godliness can only dream about it; it will never happen to them in their lifetime.

Nobody has ever won a race riding on two horses simultaneously.

Only the power of witnessing (drashta drashti) will make it happen.

The witnessing gives rise to the witnesser as a stand-alone entity, ultimately realizing that that is the only truth, not the Sansar (the witnessed).
