Think of yourself as the individual and you are sure to die; think of yourself as the universal and you enter deathlessness, for the universal is always and eternally there. We know no beginning and no ending to the cosmic process. Its being IS: we can say no more. Be that rather than this… – that which is as infinite and homeless as space, that which is timeless and unbroken. Take the whole of life as your own being… 21.5.95…

The remembrance is a necessary preparation for the second exercise, in which you try to obtain an immediate identification with the Overself. Just as an actor identifies with the role he plays on the stage, you act think and live during the daily life “as if” you were the Overself. This exercise is not merely intellectual but also includes feeling and intuitive action. It is an act of creative imagination in which by turning directly to playing the part of the Overself you make it possible for its grace to come more and more into your life.  23.5.2

To play the role of an observer of life, his own life, is to assist the process of inwardly detaching himself from it. And the field of observation must include the mental events, the thought-happenings, also. For mentalism shows that they are really one world. In the end everything belonging to experience belongs to mental experience. 23.6.82

After he has entered on the Short Path, fit themes for his meditation will be those which turn him away from the personal ego. He can meditate on the glorious attributes of God, or on the essential perfection of the cosmos, or on the utter serenity of his Overself, for instance. 4.4.65

On the Short Path he fixes his mind on divine attributes, such as the all-pervading, ever-present, beginning- less and endless nature of the One Life-Power, until he is lifted out of his little ego entirely. 23.1.127

The mind must constantly give itself up to the idea of its own infinity.  24.4.82

I Am That

Give up the idea of being a person, that is all.  You need not become what you are anyhow.  There is the identity of what you are and there is the person superimposed on it.  All you know is the person, the identity—which is not a person—you do not know, for you never doubted, never asked yourself the crucial question—“Who am I?”  The identity is the witness of the person and Sadhana consists in shifting the emphasis from the superficial and changeful person to the immutable and ever-present witness. Ch 86

…You are the all-pervading, all transcending reality. Behave accordingly: think, feel and act in harmony with the whole and the actual experience of what I say will dawn upon you in no time. No effort is needed. Have faith and act on it.  Ch 51

M: All you get by waiting is more waiting.  Absolute perfection is here and now, not in some future, near or far.  The secret is in action—here and now.  It is your behavior that blinds you to yourself.

Disregard whatever you think yourself to be and act as if you were absolutely perfect—whatever your idea of perfection may be.  All you need is courage. Ch 82
