You know the Self

Q: Why don't I realize the Self?

M: The fact is that all the while you do know the Self. How can the Self not know the Self? Only you, the Self, have got into the habit of thinking that you are a third thing. You need to get rid of the wrong notion of the Self. In the case of the ever-present, inescapable "I," how can you be ignorant? You must fight to get rid of your false notions of "I," one after another. Do that! That will lead to Self-realization. 

Eliminate the non-self

M: There can be no real investigation into the Self. The investigation can only be made into the non-self. It is only possible to eliminate the non-self. As the Self is always self-evident, it will shine of itself. 

Progress can be spoken of in reference to things to be attained, whereas here it is the removal of ignorance, and not the acquisition of knowledge. 

You are the cause of the unconscious mind

"No one is an effect of the unconscious mind, the unconscious habits and tendencies, unless one chooses to be. You are the cause over the unconscious mind; you set it up; you're choosing to follow it. The day you decide not to, that day you are through with it!"

Thought is an impostor

"Thought is something foreign, alien to the true Self. Thought pretends to be the Self. Thought is not the Self. Thought is an impostor. Thought believes thought is a real entity. And thought believes thought is a real self. Thought is not a real entity and thought is not a Self. Living from thought instead of living from Awareness is the cause of all human suffering. The impostor (thought-ego) is the cause of all human problems, sorrow,  and suffering. The background of awareness is the true Self. The awareness that appears to wake up in the morning is the true Self. The awareness that is looking through your eyes now is the true Self.

...you could view thinking and memory as a something like a computer program. Within that computer is a virus. The virus is called the 'I thought.' The virus controls the program. The 'I thought' controls all thinking. The virus pretends to be your self. The 'I thought' pretends to be your self. The virus creates tremendous sorrow and suffering. The 'I thought' creates tremendous sorrow and suffering.  None of the sorrow of suffering is needed. What is needed is to delete the virus that pretends to by your self. What is needed is to delete the impostor self.

When one attempts to delete the virus, the virus creates many thoughts, claiming that deleting the virus is not a good idea. The virus has many strategies to preserve the illusion that it is real and to continue the delusion that it is the real self." 

Do not doubt that you are the Reality

"M: All thoughts such as, "Attainment is hard," or "Self-realization is far from me," or "I have to overcome many difficulties to know Reality," should be given up, as they are obstacles and are created by this false self, ego. They are untrue. Do not doubt that you are the Reality; live in that understanding. Never question it by deferring your realization of it to some future time. It is because people are victimized and hypnotized by such false thoughts that few out of millions realize the Self."

Take it to be a dream

"The world you can perceive is a very small world indeed. And it is entirely private. Take it to be a dream and be done with it."

"Always try to see more in a fact you think you already understand."

"Be always feeling and reflecting on the real Being. Be That. Cling close to It. Let your quest be constant and sustained until you catch the Self and thereby find eternal happiness."
