"Your expectation of something unique and dramatic, of some wonderful explosion, is merely hindering and delaying your self realization. You are not to expect an explosion. The explosion has already happened---at the moment you were born, when you realized yourself as a being-knowing feeling. There is only one mistake you are making... You believe the world to be objective, while it is entirely a projection of your psyche. That is the basic confusion and no explosion will set it right.
...You are always seeking pleasure and avoiding pain, always after happiness and peace. Don't you see that it is your very search for happiness that makes you feel miserable? Try the other way: indifferent to pain and pleasure, neither asking or refusing, give all your attention to the level on which I am is present. Soon you will realize that peace and happiness are in your very nature and it is only seeking them through some particular channels, that disturbs...To seek there is no need; you would not seek what you already have.
Pay no attention ( to thoughts ). Don't fight them. Just do nothing about them, let them be, whatever they are. Your very fighting them gives them life. Just disregard. Look through...You need not stop thinking. Just cease being interested. It is the disinterestedness that liberates. Don't hold on. That is all. The world is made of rings. The hooks are all yours. Make straight the hooks and nothing can hold you. Give up your addictions. There is nothing else to give up.
Stop your routine of acquistiveness, your habit of looking for results, and the freedom of the universe is yours. Be effortless.
