talking (2)

We have no stock except chanting. But why do we talk of philosophy? Because
the fools want to talk of philosophy. Otherwise, there is no need of talking
philosophy. Simply by chanting, everything is complete.

HE is attained without the least effort: HE is worshipped by Self-Realisation alone. This is the Supreme Meditation, this is the Supreme Worship: the continuous and unbroken awareness of the indwelling presence, Inner light or Consciousness. While doing what ever one is doing - seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, eating, moving, sleeping, breathing or talking - one should realise one's Essential Nature as Pure Consciousness. Thus does One attain Liberation.

- Lord Shiva to Sage Vasishta.
