"You are the Unchangeable Awareness in which All activity takes place. Always Rest in Peace. You are Eternal Being, Unbounded and Undivided. Just Keep Quiet. All is well. Keep Quiet Here and Now. You are Happiness. You are Peace. You are Freedom. Do not entertain any notions that you are in trouble. Be Kind to Yourself. Open to your Heart and Simply Be." ~ Papaji

Practice this right now. Allow the thoughts to come, whatever they are. Do absolutely nothing. It makes no difference what the thoughts are. Let them come, no matter how much they seem to frighten you, no matter how powerful they appear to be, let them come. Where do the thoughts come from to begin with? They come from nowhere. They do not come from consciousness. They do not come from pure awareness. They do not come from the Self. Where do the thoughts come from? From nowhere. They're an optical illusion. They do not exist. They're like the appearance of the sky on top of the mountain. The sky appears to be resting on top of the mountain, but it's an optical illusion. Thoughts do not exist, whatsoever. Therefore you ask yourself: "Who's thinking?" and you will find out, the ego is thinking. So here's another point. When the thoughts slow down, so does the ego. The thoughts and the ego are synonymous. As the thoughts slow down, the ego slows down and begins to also disappear with the thoughts. When there are no thoughts, there's no ego. When there's no ego, there's nobody left to think. Then the question you will ask is: "How do I function without thinking?" As I mentioned in the beginning, the sage's thoughts are like a burnt rope. They appear to be real, but they're not. In other words, your thoughts are not real. They are false. How do you function without thoughts? Very well, thank you. Many of you still believe you have to have thoughts to function. You think you'll become a vegetable, but you will be spontaneous without thoughts. You'll be motivated by the Self. You will know what to do, where to go, whom to speak to, whom not to speak to, much better than you do now, much, much better. Things will happen to you spontaneously. ~Robert Adams I often talk about allowing life to come to you. In the absolute now moment, life becomes intuitive and choices are not needed, as the heart already knows what to do or not do. ~Padmā Becoming is effort, being is no effort. ~Papaji

The silence is another way of saying to keep your mind stayed on God all the time. God is the silence and you are that. Feel the silence right now. You can feel it. It's a thing of beauty. You know when you're getting into the true silence, you begin to become happier, and happier and happier for no reason. It makes no difference what's going on in the world. The world is in one place and you're in another place. In the deep silence you are identifying with the substratum of creation. Always remember to go into the silence. A sage is always in the silence. A sage may be talking, listening, partaking of activities, but to the sage there's only silence. ~ Robert Adams

Many people ask me, "Robert, what is really the fastest way to quiet the mind?" for many of you realize now that when the mind is quiet, liberation comes by itself. There is really nothing else you have to do to become liberated. When the thoughts stop, every- thing takes care of itself. Then you are in your natural state. Therefore what should you do to quiet the mind? Should you practice self- inquiry? Should you become the witness, the observer? Should you do pranayama, breath- ing exercises? Should you practice the I-am meditation? All of these things are good, but yet ours is the easy path, the direct path. Here's the easiest way to do this. If you would realize in your heart, that every- thing is nothing, your mind would become still. You would become perfectly still. Ponder what I just said. If you would only realize in your heart that everything is nothing, there would be no thoughts. This is very profound. This is really all you have to do. Realize in your heart, not in your mind, but in your heart, that everything you behold, everything you see, is actually nothing. There will be no thoughts. You will become free. Let me explain. When you see a tree, what is the source of the tree? The seed. What is the source of the seed? What came first, the tree or the seed? Where did the first seed come from? Where did the first tree come from? When you look at a mountain, what is the source of the mountain? When you look at the world, what is the source of the world, the universe, the planets? You may say, "Well, God is the source." What is the source of God? Is God something? You have to ask yourself, you have to inquire within yourself, "What is the source of all these things?" And you will realize nothing is the source of everything. Everything comes out of nothing. Robert Adams
