"What is it, by knowing which,

INTRODUCTION
The Ultimate Truth is Truth that is true now, hasalways been true, and will forever be
true.
Man cannot make this Truth nor can he change this Truth. He can only discover it.
Sesuai Sangat
He may choose to live in accord with it. If he so does, he finds himself supremely
happy beyond anything he could imagine! All limitations drop away and he discovers
that all power, all knowledge, and all joy are his and that all this is his natural,
Sifat bawaan
inherent state.
A unique characteristic of this Truth is that it must be seen my each one through his
own perception. No one and no book can do it for him. Teachers and books
(scriptures) can only point out the direction, the way, and the individual may choose to
take it.
Necessary is the proof of Truth, and necessary it is that each one must prove theMerenungkan
Truth
Kedengarannya
for himself. Nothing should ever be accepted on hearsay. One should listen to, reflect
upon, and then prove. The best attitude one may take would be to not believe nor
disbelieve, but to accept Truths for checking. Then, and only then, after one has
proven them without a doubt should one accept them.
As Truth begins to prove itself, one gains more confidence in it, and then proofs come
Melihat/merasakan
more easily and more readily; until finally, one perceives the Absolute Truth, - that
we are unlimited beings, unlimited in our knowledge, power and joy.
Alam
We must start from where we are, so we start with thinking in the realm of
Pikiran
thinkingness. Then we progress to a state of thought- feelings where thoughts have
feeling to them. This continues until there is only feelingness. When this becomes
the basis for our actions, we are intuitive and in tune with the world. Finally, there is
only the realm of beingness, and in this state we perceive ourselves as being the All,
and we see no-otherness.
Pikiran Pemikiran
Beginning with thought, we direct our minds toward thoughts that will free us;
liberate us from sorrow and unhappiness. This leads to happiness, which is in the
realm of feelingness. When the feeling of happiness is developed fully, there is only
1
Kebahagiaan agung Ketenangan
happiness of being, and we then enter into the state of exalted bliss, tranquility and
serenity.
Keheningan
Bervariasi
The time required to accomplish this varies widely. The quickness of one's
understanding is directly proportional to the intensity of one's desire for truth.
Otoritas
All authoritarianism is let go of, Keputusan
as the only authority for Truth is Truth and not man.
In place of authority is given the dictum, - "Prove it yourself." Only when proven
for oneself does one have it and can one use it. One knows only that which he can do.
Kebenaran pokok Menyinggung
The Ultimate Truth is not the usual. If something should offend, shock, or challenge,
it is suggested that you check into it, as the chances are that a fixed concept ntight be
needing reevaluation; that by doing so you ntight find yourself a bit freer.

THE GOAL
All are seeking complete freedom and happiness, and everyone is seeking this either
consciously or unconsciously.
Realisasi/kesadaran
The goal is Self-Realization.
HAPPINESS
Sifatnya
Happiness is our inherent, natural state.
Ketenangan Keheningan
The best definition for happiness is peace, tranquility, and serenity.
Happiness is the absence of apathy, grief, fear, jealousy, anger, and hate.
Happiness loves.
Happiness is freedom; absence of limitations. The less limited we are, the freer we
are, - the happier we are.
LOVE
Love is a feeling of givingness with no thought of receiving any return for it.
Tanpa mengharapkan balasan
Love is a giving with no strings attached.
Sifat
Love is the natural, inherent state of man.
Only by loving does love come to us. The more we love, the more love comes to us.
Love is acceptance.
Love is loving the other one because the other one is the way the other one is.
Love is trust.
Love is identification. It is being the other one by identifying with the other one.
•
Love is what every being is seeking through his every act.
When there are problems, if we would love more, they would disappear. When the
Lenyap
love is complete, the problem dissolves immediately.
Lending support, wanting for the other one what the other one wants, that is love.
The greatest help or giving one may give to another is to help the other to get the
understanding of Truth. In this way, one gives the other the formula for happiness.
Bersatu
Love is a power. It is the cohesive force of the universe.
Almost all people mistake ego approval for love. Because it is not love, it is not
satisfying. Consequently, one continuously needs and demands it. And this produces
only frustration.
Human love does not want to share its love with others, but rather wants its own
personal satisfaction. Real love wants to share its love and the more it is shared, the
more joyous it is.
Keinginan
There is no "longing for" in love, because longing is separation; love being oneness, it
does not allow separation.
True love cannot be gotten through marriage. It must be there before marriage.
Love cannot be applied to one and not another. It's impossible to love one and hate
another. When we love one more than another, that one is doing something for us.
That is human love. When one loves people because they are nice to him, that too, is
human love. True love is unconditional. In true love, one loves even those who
oppose him.
5
We should love everyone equally.
It's impossible to l:et love. Only by loving can one feel love.
The more one looks for love, the more one doesn't love.
Berusaha
One should strive tQ love, never ~ loved. To be loved brings temporary
happiness, ego inflation.Pemompaan ego
When one loves fully, one can have no concept of not being loved.
Puncak
To love our enemy is the height of love.
When love is felt for the enemy, it makes the enemy impotent; powerless to hurt us. If
the enemy persists in trying to hurt us, he will only hurt himself.
Hanya
One does not increase his love. One merely gets rid of one's hate.
Memberikan
In a Slate of high love one has a feeling of harmlessness, and grants the other one the
other one's beingness.
Anytime one feels good, one is loving. Anytime one feels bad, one is not loving.
Love is purity.
6
Love eliminates insecurity.
PEACE
Peace is dwelling in the realm of all knowledge and all beauty in complete harmony.
In meditation, peace shows itself in the freedom from unwanted thoughts, and in the
ability to concentrate on a single thought.
TRUTH
Truth is That which never changes. All else is untrue, illusion, an apparency.
One should never accept anything until he can prove it out for himself. There are two
ways to prove things, extemally and internally. Extemally is proving it in the world
by doing it. Internally is by seeing it intuitively though the omniscient part of oneself.
Meskipun
8
Truth is in the realm of feelingness, and cannot be expressed in words, but only
alluded
Diarahkan
to by words.
Reason cannot get one to Truth, but can get one into the direction of Truth.
Mengungkapkan
Intuition, knowingness, super-consciousness, reveals the Truth that is.
There's no Truth in the intellect. It's in the realm of feelingness. The intellect is used
Akhirnya
to guide the intellect to the feeling, which eventually takes over completely leaving no
more intellect. Then one operates on purely intuitive feelings.
To know the Truth, begin with the Truth, that is, there is only an Infinite One. Then
let your thinking follow from here.
Truth can be found by a process of eliminating wrong thoughts, which are thoughts of
limitation. When all thoughts of limitation are eliminated, what remains is our
natural, unlimited, Self.
Relative truth changes. Absolute Truth never changes. The Absolute Truth is the
changeless Oneness, and Oneness is the only Truth.
Dirasakan Melalui
Truth is perceived through realization.
When we realize Truth, we have it, are it, and can use it.
Absolute Truth cannot be spoken, because truth is Oneness and in Oneness there is no
Menunjukan
other to speak to. One merely alludes to Truth.
9
The Self has no qualities, no abilities, no actions. It is unqualified and unlimited
beingness.
We are now, we always have been, and we always will be the eternal, unlimited Self
(God). All we need to do is to realize that by removing the ignorance of it, or by
increasing our knowingess of it.
The easiest way to contact the Self (God) is through the feelingness in the heart of "I,"
or "I Am," with nothing more added. This feelingness is the Self, the Real- Inner
Self. The moment we add anything at all, like "I am good or bad"; "I am poor or
rich"; "I am great or small"; or "I and that"; we are imposing a limitation on the "I
Am" and creating the ego.
There is no investigation possible into the Self (God). The Self, being only one, who
is there to investigate it? Investigation can be only into the ego, the non-Self.
The Source of the ego is the Self. Find the Source and the ego disappears, leaving
only the Self.
When we take one step toward the Self, It takes nine steps toward us.
What is it, by knowing which, eyeO'thin~ becomes known? The Self (God).
What is joy? Joy is nothing but the Self. When desires are fulfilled, the mind is
Seterusnya
stilled. This allows the Self to shine forth and that is what we call joy.
Man, as man, cannot know God; by looking up to God, God is always separate from
him. Only when he looks out from God can man know God.
Terlihat keluar
One will never find God in the body, but one will find the body in God.
Sarung
The higher the state of the body, the thinner the sheath hiding the Self.
Stop having, stop doing, and just be your Self. At first this being your Self is
momentary. As you keep trying, it remains more and more until it becomes
permanent.
10
Hening
The Self is total Quietude. Quietness is necessary and one of the greatest ways to the
Self.
The Self being One, the All, when one realizes this, one becomes, and identifies
oneself as, everybeing, every atom, of the universe.
Berdiam
When one moves into or abides in the Self, one moves up and away from thoughts.
Tenggelam Terpancang
The thoughts become submerged. Until one is established in the Self, the thoughts
Muncul kembali
reemerge and take over. In moving away from thoughts, one can become the
menjadi saksi dari
objective witness of the thoughts and not be influenced by them. When this objective
witnessing is made permanent, one is in perfect, eternal, peace and joy. A fully
realized individual does not identify with his thoughts and, therefore, they have no
effect on him.
Tunduk
Self (God) is not subject to laws.
Tidak bergabung
A knower of God has to wait only as long as he is not merged in God!
TEACHER OF TRUTH
A Teacher can lift one to his own level of understanding and no further.
One of the greatest things a Teacher can do for us is to get us to see our ego. We have
blinded ourselves to our ego making it most difficult to let go of it.
THE EGO
Sebagai lawan
Ego is the sense of individuality as opposed to the One.
The start of the ego is the sense of "I am separate." It then creates thoughts, (called
mind) of limitation like "I am a body," or "I am a body limited," through which
thoughts one loses sight of the fact that one is Infinite.
Makhluk hebat
Ego comes from the subconscious knowledge of the terrific Being that we really are,
trying to express itself through a very limited thing called the personality.
The l-thought, the thought that "I am a separate individual, " is the source of the ego
in all its forms, - physical, astral, and causal. Every day one goes through the
physical, astral, and causal realms in waking, dreaming and dreamless sleep,
respectively. Eliminate the ego and all three states are eliminated.
Masing"
12
Penglihatan Tujuan
Until we become fully free, we put up a false front, a facade, to others for the purpose
Sesuai
of winning the acceptance and approval of the others. We behave in accordance with
what we think the other one wants rather than by expressing our own real feelings.
Oleh karena itu Menyimpang
We thereby develop a distorted pattern of behavior that becomes habitual, automatic,
Memaksa
and subconscious. This pattern necessitates unhappiness, as we become incapable of
expressing our own true feelings.
This may be done by (I) reevaluating the situation by seeing its present time reality;
(2) digging into the subconscious in order to make it conscious so that we may change
Mengamati
it; (3) perceiving our real Self.
Pandangan
The facade is the ego. It is motivated by our seeking love. The only reward is
frustration, as it is only by loving that one finds love.
Misery can be removed by seeing its cause as being the ego seeking love. Only by
loving can one be happy.
In these days of atom smashing, the only safety is ego smashing! Ego smashing is one
of the fastest ways toward the Goal and the only safety.
We create an ego and then try to escape from it from that moment on.
The God-part of us is there all the time, - just covered over by the ego.
Berusaha
Who is doing the striving? The ego. Let go, and let God.
All the power and grace of God is at every moment trying to come through to us. All
we need to do is allow it by setting the ego aside, scorching it by ignoring it. An
Membakar
unrecognized visitor soon leaves.
13
THE MIND
Mind is consciousness that has assumed limitation. We are naturally unlimited until
we assume a mind. Then the evolution begins of progressively limiting ourselves
Tidak dapat lagi menanggungnya Keseluruhan tidak dapat di tahan
until we can no longer
Memberikan kuasa kepada pikiran
bear it. When life becomes altogether unbearable, we then start
the devolution. WeMembalikkan
reverse the process by letting go of thoughts more and more until
the complete peace and total freedom from thought is reestablished.Dibangun kembali
One makes life easier by recognizing the laws of nature, which are only the laws of
cause and effect. When one discovers that mind or thinking is the cause, and what
happens in the world is effect, he then consciously controls his circumstances and
Keadaan
environment. Lingkungan
Menopang
That which we think, - we create. That which we hold in mind, - we sustain. That
Membubarkan
which we let go of in mind, - we dissolve.
Stay on the positive side. Do not be "against" (anti) anything, but be "fur" its
opposite. "Being against" is holding in mind that which you do not want and thereby
sustaining it.
Think only what you want that that is all that you will get.
The more the thought taking, the greater the problem. The less the thought taking, the
more obvious the Perfection.
Mind is an instrument used by the ego to create and then reflect back the physical
universe.
The world is an out-projecting of the mind. When we realize this, we can change the
projected picture.
14
Benda mati
Mind is intelligent; body is insentient matter.
Thinking is rationalizing, usually our emotions and desires, and has its source in the
ego. Thinking can be used to make life easier for the ego by causing the world to ease
its pull on our attention. Then our attention can be better directed to the Self (God).
Correct thinking is thinking that leads us to good conditions of health and supply, then
to mental traits of love and peace, and finally to Oneness, where, there being no other,
thought is impossible and all is in harroony.
Taking it from the top, the most correct thinking is "no thoughts." Truth is in the
realm of knowingness. It is when all thoughts are stilled that we remove the blanket
covering the omniscience that we all have now.
The mind will never know God because the mind is a thing of limitation.
,
The finite can never know the Infinite.
The only thing which blinds us from the Self is mind activity.
Kemelekatan & ke engganan
Pemikiran tentang keinginan
Mind (I) gives rise to thoughts of desire (2) that lead to attachments and aversions (3)
causing bondage. Eliminate anyone in this chain and be free!
Keterikatan
15
Habit makes us believe that it is difficult to stop thinking. If the error is discovered by
realizing one's inner state of all-knowingness, one would not foolishly and
unnecessarily burden oneself with the effort of thinking.
Kebiasaan berpikir Kecenderungan laten
Habits of thought are latent tendencies and are the greatest enemy to realization. They
Keras kepala & ngotot
are most stubborn and adamant. However, they must be let go of if one wants to
realize the Self.
The mind is a composite of several functions: sensing, recording, memory, and ability
to discriminate. Discrimination is the highest function.
Discriminate Truth from untruth, the Real from the unreal, - and be free!
Mind is about 90% subconscious. The 10% must be used to make it all conscious.
Every mind is a transmitting and a receiving station, receiving in its own wavelength.
Keep it high!
The mind is like an electric light bulb radiating in all directions. When it is focused, it
becomes like a powerful beam. A mind focused on it's self will crack its secrets and
Lampu sorot
reveal Truth.
A concentrated mind is one that can keep its attention on one thing at a time without
other thoughts coming in.
A concentrated mind is also the secret of success in the world. All successful people
in the world have the ability to concentrate their minds.
Kesunyian Diperoleh
Real solitude can be had only in the mind; not in location. Solitude is obtained
through practice of non-attachment. A man in the city might be free of thought and
16
Pertapa Terganggu
alone in peace, while a hermit in the country might be plagued with the company of
many miserable thoughts.
Menyakitkan
Thoughts of happiness give relative happiness. The highest and absolute happiness is
beyond thoughts.
THE WORLD
All behavior, eveO' act in this world, is based on the desire for love. This desire
Ketenaran
causes us to seek for approval, acceptance, attention, power, fame, and fortune.
Unfortunately, however, love cannot be gotten this way, and we become frustrated
and unhappy. Only by loving can we fmd love and be happy.
Tdk pernah bermaksud
Man was never intended to be a victim of circumstances. He is the controller of them,
but has lost awareness of this fact. When he regains his awareness of it, he again
becomes the master of circumstances, and consciously controls his environment.
Matter, energy, space, and time are in mind. When man realizes this, he has mental
control over them and controls them at his will.
Materi
There is no intelligence in matter. The world is nothing but matter. The intelligence
Menentukan
that is in man, and it determines this world. However. man is unconsciously
determining the world. When he wakes up to this, he gains conscious control.
Mengamati Kekuasaan
Perceiving the Reality one gains dominion.
The world does not disappear on seeing the Reality; the wrong concept of it does!
The world is a school in which there is only limitation. The lessons on limitations
Mengatasi
teach us how to surmount them until we are limitless.
Memerlukan kesengsaraan
Life in the world necessitates misery, as it is in the realm of limitation. Be in the
world, but not of it!
When one cannot bear being alone with his thoughts, he seeks entertainment.
Entertainment is escaping, running away from one's thoughts. Happiness needs no
17
entertainment. Be happy by loving. The more one loves, the less one needs
entertainment.
Socializing is looking for love in the wrong place. It's looking for love and
acceptance from people. And what we really want is the love of God. Love of God is
found only by going within in quietness. It is loving, and not looking for love.
Pleasures gained in the world are momentary. Any joy gained through understanding
the Truth or the Reality is eternally ours.
You want to help the world? Help yourself. Only then may you do so. You cannot
show others unless you know yourself.
That which we give out to the world we receive in return, - is the law of
compensation (karma). Many know this but few realize that karma is created in the
thought rather than the act.
If we want good and happy lives it is necessary to think good and happy thoughts
only.
If one gossips about others, one does not hurt the other one, but hurts himself in
Kebencian
accord with the law of compensation. Gossip is a form of hatred because it tears
down the other.
There's nothing wrong with the world when you see it alright.
The only way out of the world is through the world by seeing every atom of it as your
Self.
18
Socializing and entertainment are wasting time because what we are really looking for
(constant and unlimited joy) is not there.
Time used in releasing meditation and selfless service is the most useful time. It leads
to joy infinite.
Dimanfaatkan
If each moment wasted in pursuit of the non-Self be utilized in pursuit of the Self,
realization will soon follow.
Tidak menjadi halangan
Work or action need not be an obstruction to Self-Realization. The search for your
Self can always go on. One should work or act with non-attachment, and take the
attitude that he is not the doer. Just be the witness. Then releasing meditation can go
on, and through practice, it becomes constant.
A night dream best explains this world. All suffering in a nightmare is real to us
while we are dreaming. The entire creation of the world, its characters, and our part in
it, - all of these, while we are dreaming, seem real. It is only when we awaken that
we become aware that it never was, and that is all subjective. Likewise, when we
awaken from this world, we say that it never was, and that it is subjective. Then we
Zat tunggal
see the Reality, the singular substance of the world which is just behind it.
In the most limited state called wakefulness, one must see that he is limitless.
Awaking from this wakeful state awakens one to his unlimited Self.
Realization is not determined by one's being single or married, but by the realization
of who he is. A married man may realize the Selfby learning to concentrate his mind.
A concentrated mind will do it.
Real love should be the basis of marriage. Real love has no element of needing the
other one, or possessing the other one. Real love wants only to make the other one
Merasuki/ menguasai
happy.
Marriage should be used to aid one's growth by developing love more and more,-
until it is complete.
19
If you are a parent, the greatest help you can give your child is to help yourself to a
higher state of loving. Then you automatically do what is best for the child.
Following rules from books will not be very effective.
Istri
See your spouse and children as children of God. Never say, "They are mine," as they
are God's.
Ilahi
Increase your selfless love for them until it is Divine Love.
The greatest happiness we can give to a mate comes from helping him or her to more
understanding of Truth.
Don't marry because you feel you need, or you must possess, the other one. This is
not love and will have its consequent unhappiness.
Akibat
The happiest marriage is one in which each partner lives only for the other's
happiness. This is a love marriage and helps one toward the goal.
Sering
Marriage is too frequently only a sexual union. One marties a member of the opposite
sex and sex is freely pursued. Martiage should be a love union.
Tujuannya
Man is confused on sex. Sex is a physical union of male and female, the purpose of
which is procreation. The greatest attachments man has are to sex. Man ties in two
other things with sex, one mental and one spiritual. The mental aspect is the desire for
ego approval. The spiritual aspect is love.
Tersesat
Man has gone so far astray from the normal that he can no longer get any standards as
Mengatur kembali
to what is correct, normal sex. He might realign himself by looking at the animals to
learn the purpose and function of sex. If he does, he will see it, - a physical act of
Tujuan
procreation.
But man is higher than the animal and is gifted with a mind much further developed
Menarik kesimpulan secara umum
than the animal. Animals think only deductively while manKecerdikanthinks not only
Menarik kesimpulan berdasarkan fakta
deductively but also inductively. The latter gives him the ingenuity to do all that he
Terakhir
does that is greater than the animal. This inductive thinking allows man to be self-
conscious. Man knows he is man. Animals know only the ways and means of
Kelangsungan hidup
Pengadaan
procuring and satisfying the needs for preservation. Only man looks into himself and
Memajukan
seeks, thereby advancing himself.
The mental aspect of sex is the seeking for ego approval. Man looks for a partner that
can give it to him, and when he finds one that can give him ego approval constantly,
20
Tetap
he says he is madly in love, and Tersirat
wants this one as a constant mate. So long as he is
getting this approval, direct or implied, he says he is in love and happy. However, and
this is a big however, this happiness, although it may be the greatest he has yet
Kebutuhan Jumlah tertentu
experienced, is of necessity at the same time mixed with a certain amount of painful
Kegelisahan Diperoleh
anxiety lest this happiness be not had in the time ahead. The pleasure obtained
through one's mate creates a hunger for more of it, and at the same time a fear that it
Campuran
could be lost,Mencegah
both of which are painful. This admixture of pain and pleasure
necessarily prevents full enjoyment.
What is constant and totally satisfying is the love aspect. Only when man really loves
Mendahului
his partner in the full meaning of love as defined in the preceding chapter on love, will
he be joyous and happy every moment of his life.
It is the love aspect of sex that man is really and unconsciously seeking.
Unfortunately, he has lost sight of this and when he sees it, and regains it, he will be
continuously happy.
Sederhana Kegemaran
Sex in moderation is better than indulgence. Indulgence keeps one bogged down and
blinded.
Menghambat pertumbuhan
Sex, of body passion, hinders growth by imprisoning one into the body cage. Sex,
when it rises to the passion of the spirit, is channeled into expansion of love and
liberation.
Sex is a trap. Sex leads to birth. If there is birth, there must be death. Thus man goes
from death to death. (Seek your immortality.)
The desire for sex is basically the desire for love and when it is satisfied in sex, the
Dorongan utk mencapai cinta sejati melemah
drive to attain the real Love is weakened.
The power of the sex drive may be directed into channels of love that will give a
thousand times more joy than the greatest joy that sex can give.
Mencapai
Attain to the joy that is so much greater than that which sex gives, so that in order to
have sex, we have to give up a greater joy for a lesser pleasure.
21
Sifatnya
Joy is not in things or people. The joy attributed to them comes only from the Self
Bersinar seterusnya
shining forth when thoughts are stilled. The thoughts are stilled by the satisfying of
the desire.
Menipu
Sex deludes us in that it brings us closest to the Self (God). By satisfying the greatest
desire, the greatest number of thoughts, conscious and subconscious, are stilled.
When the thoughts are stilled, your Self shines forth and that is the wonderful feeling
of peace and satisfaction that you feel. This wonderful feeling should be gotten
directly and made constant.
DESIRE
Berjuang
We should strive to attain to the desirelessness state. As long as we have desire, we
lack, and are trapped in the world of limitation. Desire is the great enemy of constant
JOy.
Any desire, other than desiring knowledge of the Self (God), pushes one in the
opposite direction of happiness, into limitation and misery. The more desire one has
for things, the more unhappiness one has.
Ikatan Memberikan kepuasan
Desire and chain are the same. Every time one gratifies one's desire, one creates a
bondage as he wants it again and again.
Kerinduan
Enjoying with attachment is enjoying with pain and longing, a hunger. Enjoying
without attachment is enjoying freely and creating no bondage.
When your Self is known, you are fully satisfied and have everything.
22
EMOTIONS
Menghalangi
Emotions are strong feelings. They result from thwarted will. They are really the
feelin2s of tl.!~ absence of love, with a desire to eliminate this absence.
Menghalangi
Examine human emotion and you will always find elements of thwarted will or desire.
Human love desires to possess the one loved. Whatever one desires to possess, one
must feel one does not have. This is the element that makes human love incapable of
constant happiness.
Menggairahkan & mengganggu
Emotions excite and perturb. The opposite is calmness, quietness, peace. Real love,
being calm and peaceful, is not an emotion.
To act with complete freedom. there must be no emotion. We are blinded to what is
really going on to the degree of our emotion.
A suppressed emotion is one that we have pushed down into the subconscious part of
the ntind and have become unaware of it.
Any suppressed emotion will forever try to spend itself until it is spent.
Paksaan Keinginan yg tertahan
Suppressed emotions and thoughts develop compulsions and inhibitions, setting habits
of wrong behavior.
Menyimpang Berakar
Most behavior is distorted and rooted in suppressed emotions and thoughts.
Never suppress feelings. You don't have to satisfy them, but don't suppress them.
Just know that they are there, and let go of them.
23
A desire today becomes a subconscious desire in the future.
A reaction is a behavior based on a past incident in which one felt pain, mental or
physical. When something happens in the present that unconsciously reminds one of
Bertindak berdasarkan kejadian masa lalu
the past incident, one automatically acts as though the past incident were present now
with its prospective pain, and unconsciously tries to avoid that pain. This caused the
behavior in the present to be determined by conditions in the past, and it is not in
accord with the present situation. This results in very inefficient behavior that cannot
bring satisfaction. It makes one unhappy for two reasons, one being the unconscious
reminder of pain, and the other, the frustration of not being able to achieve the desired
result of the present act.
To the degree that we react, we blind ourselves to what is out there. We then see the
world through our own colored glasses.
Pendekatan
Reactive behavior should be approached as an opportunity for growth. Each time we
reevaluate a reactive behavior pattern and let go of it, we become freer.
PLEASURE - PAIN
Pain, similarly, is the feeling we have when that which is happening is not liked.
Pleasure results from the stilling of thoughts by satisfying them, thus allowing our real
Self to shine forth a bit more.
24
Mengaburkan
Pain results from more thoughts being created. Thoughts obscure the Self.
It is the mind which tells us that something is pleasurable or painful. Does the body
tell us it is hurting?
Menghindari
To some, pleasure is the avoidance of pain. This is a negative approach and allows
little of the infinite joy that is available.

Pain acknowledges limitation.
The right direction is to know that we are masters over body and mind.
The more we look in the right direction, the more we find that which is right and true,
and the less the pain.
There is more pain from holding on to the thought of pain than there is in the situation
itself. If you let the world strike you, it will do so less cruelly than your own
imagination.
Kesadaran tinggi
Pain in the body is the sense of heightened awareness at a point. When a part of the
body is being damaged, a mental alarm is turned on, called pain. If the mind answers
the alarm fully, the pain turns off immediately, and the body mechanics go to work at
that point and rapidly repair it. Because of past unpleasant experiences, we have
Melarikan diri
developed a fear of pain, and mentally try to flee from it, to escape it. This is not fully
Tinggal
answering the alarm; it causes the pain to linger, and the body repair mechanics to
slow down. If one knows this, he can eliminate pain and effect a rapid healing of the
body. It not being easy to understand what "feeling the pain" means, try increasing
the pain. This mentally places one in the pain and makes one feel it. On really feeling
the pain it will immediately disappear and the body will rapidly heal.

Mental pain likewise can be eliminated by recognizing it and facing it. A mental
Sejujurnya Bersengketa
problem, when faced fully and squarely, will resolve. Because of its unpleasantness,
one tries to flee from it and escape it. This holds it in mind rather than resolves it, and
thereby holds onto the pain.
Looking for pleasure is part of the unconscious drive toward the infinite joy that is
inherently yours.

HEALTH AND SUPPLY
Dompet
It is the sarne principle that heals a sick body or a sick pocketbook.
Kemiskinan
Sickness and poverty are both lack, and lack is the acceptance of concepts that are
limited.
The concept of lack is only in our consciousness. One must let go of it aud in its place
Kemakmuran
have concepts of abundance, affluence, and well being.
When one learns, by actually experiencing it that mind is only creative, he then holds
in mind only the things he wants and never takes thought for the things he does not
want.
Our concepts are the sum total of our thinking and most of them are now
subconscious. We must, with effort, hold the right concepts until they become more
powerful than the subconscious wrong concepts. Then they become the habit and take
the place of the wrong concepts. When the subconscious mind is so conditioned life
becomes beautiful and happy.
Our supply and health are determined by our consciousness of supply and health.
A mental picturing of that which we want, with the complete acceptance and the
Keyakinan di dalam-Nya
conviction that it is our now, will bring it quickly. See it in its 'isness.'
Never think of things as coming in the future, as the mind will keep it in the future.
See it, feel it, taste it, possess it as yours now. Do not see it in its 'will-be-ness.'
26
Memperolehnya
Think of what you want, never the money to obtain it. Conditioning it with money is
putting a limitation in the way.
Rahasia Memperolehnya
Work in secrecy. Telling one what you want weakens the drive. After obtaining it,
you may tell.
Dinginkan
Repetition is not desirable in that it means we did not accept it fully the time before.
However, if necessary, repeat the visualization.
A full conviction that we have everything that we need as we need it will do just that.
Bersaing
Supply is infinite. Never compete.
When we know that we have everything and therefore need nothing, then everything
comes to us for the mere effortless thought of it.
Never connect your supply with your vocation. Let God be your supplier Then it
matters not what you do as your supply is guaranteed.
Prinsip
Effectiveness power depends on what you know of the principle.
To effect anything, complete passivity is the quickest way. Let go and let God. It's a
doingness on the mental plane, a knowingness on the spiritual plane that everything is
ours.
Kemakmuran
The key to prosperity is in the spirit of giving. When we know that freely it is given,
then freely we give, and the more do we receive.
If one can heal oneself spiritually one should do it because it is instantaneous. If one
Dari cepat
cannot do it spiritually, then one should do it mentally as mental healing is from rapid
to instantaneous. If one cannot do it mentally, then one should do it physically seeing
a doctor.
Spiritual healing is knowing that the body is perfect. Mental healing is effecting a
perfect body by visualizing the body as perfect.
27
Rather than receive a healing of body or pocket book it is better to receive the
understanding of healing. Then one may be always free from all lack.
The fastest and surest way to health and prosperity is by understanding Truth.
SPIRITUAL GROWTH
Menguat Sabar
Growth is continuous being tried and tested, steeled and tempered.
Kecenderungan laten
When one takes the path and begins to grow, all latent tendencies, strong and weak,
Dilahirkan
are intensified and brought forth for mastering. Rather than lose the self-initiated trial
Mengkudeta
between your will to grow and the karmic enemies that would dethrone you, it is
necessary that you should be willing to lose everything in order to gain the goal. This
must be so.
Terbuang Mengembalikan
All life experiences are wasted, and one only postpones his reinstating of joy infinite,
if he does not use the experiences of life to learn from. Every single unpleasantly has
Kejadian yg tidak menyenangkan
a lesson of joy in it.
Asumsi
When one chooses to grow, his life becomes a paradox to those of the world. Any
Mencoba membenarkan Putus asa bertentangan
attempt to justify it makes it appear the more hopelessly contradictory. In calmness
and quietness is your strength. Silently let your growth so shine that the quietness
loudly proclaims to them the greatness of your way.
Membalikkan
Growth is evolution in reverse, that is, the undoing of the limitations we have learned
over the centuries, and takes time and continual doing.
Growth is becoming free. As we grow, we must becume freer and freer from behavior
Paksaan Hambatan
conditioned by compulsions and inhibitions learned in early training. Likewise, we
must free ourselves from behavior based on traditions.
To be happy, one must be good by choice. Being good because one feels he must be,
Terdorong
should be, or is compelled to be good, does not bring happiness as this is not a free
choice.
Growth is the eliminating of the ego and the realizing of your Self.
Rate of growth is directly proportional to the intensity of the desire for it.
The greatest realization is that we have always been fully realized beings; that all we
need do is remove the ignorance of tltis fact.
RELEASING
Releasing is directing your thoughts inwardly with the desire to find and know your
Self (God).
Pengecualian
Correct meditation is holding the thought on Self (God) to the exclusion of all other
thoughts.
29
Keributannnya
Releasing stills the thoughts of the world and its tumult and allows one to see his Self.
Concentration, holding one thought to the exclusion of other thoughts, is the key to
successful meditation.
Releasing is not becoming passive. Don't try to go blank as anything can come in.
Releasing is daily separation of man from the world, only to unite him more closely
and more intimately with it, by becoming one with it.
Permohonan Tinggal
Releasing is a supplication to the Self to enter and abide; to show us the glory of the
Self, so that we will want only it, rather than the ego.
CQrrect Behavior
There are only two laws that need be known to cover all correct behavior.
1. One should have a feeling of harmlessness toward all beings.
2. That which is mutual is correct.
By following only these two rules one will be guided correctly in all situations, and
will be aided in one's growth.
Berilah
Square all with love.
Accept full responsibility for whatever happens to you. By taking full responsibility
Memulai
and seeking the cause in your thinking, you will find the initiating cause and eliminate
it.
Bedakan
Discriminate between the Real, that which is changeless, and the unreal, that which
changes.
Capailah
Attain to the desirelessness state.
30
Attain to the place where no one and no thing can disturb you.
Develop a constant feeling of gratitude toward God and everyone. This makes one
always joyous.
Izinkan
Grant the other one the other one's beingness.
Get quiet.
Keep Holy company. Seek those who are seeking Truth. Read only that which is
directing and aiding your growth.
Take no thought for the ego, -- take thought only for your Self.
Let the ego go its way and know that it is not the real you, your Self. Just keep
knowing that you are not it. Eventually, it not being recognized, it will vanish!
Review your behavior of the day, at the end of each day, as a means of rapid growth.
Square all with love, reviewing the behavior in the light of love, and take full
responsibility for whatever happened.
Examination of behavior, in the light of love, with those whom one feels closest to, is
Membantu mengungkapkan
very revealing and helpful to one's growth.
Practice loving those who oppose you. Be sure you are not suppressing your
Yg bertentangan
opposition. If there is opposition or hate, recognize it with the attitude that this, too,
shall pass.
31
Introspection brings up the subconscious and makes it conscious, allowing us to
change it.
Reactions can be used as opportunities for growth by seeking their source and thereby
eliminating them.
Utamakan
Accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative and don't have anything to do with
Mr.-in-between.
Melumpuhkan
It is better to act wrongly than to not act. No action is paralyzing. By wrong action
one willieam right action.
Submit either to God within, your Inner Self, or God without, the Teacher, and unload
your burdens. Membongkar beban anda
We are here and now fully Realized Being telling ourselves that we are not, by saying,
"I need this," "I need that," "I am limited by this," "I am limited by that." All we
need to do is to stop feeling that we are limited and start being the unlimited being that
we really are.
Think what you want and stop thinking of what you do not want.
Face it.
Resist nothing.
32
Meninggalkan
Know that the help is always there, because God never forsakes.
DIFFERENT PATHS
THOUGHTS
We have infinite power within us, and no thing or no one can hurt us until we give
them the power to.
Memiliki hasrat
No one can be helped by a higher being unless desirous of it and ready for it. Higher
teachers present their teaching and one may pick it up or not, as one chooses. The

A Consciousness of Truth meets no resistance.
All experiences contain a lesson. If the lesson is difficult, the same difficulty keeps
repeating itself until resolved in the light of Truth.
Heaven and hell are right where we are and are created by our thinking. When we
know this, we make it only heaven.
Kebebas di peroleh
Liberation is acquired through understanding alone! Right action does not free, but is

Menyelam Meyakinkan
Confirmation from one who has dipped into the Self is very helpful. It assures you
that you are right even though all the others may think you are wrong.

As we grow we acquire new ways of thought and new friends in place of the old.
Eventually we see all as our friends.
The higher the joy, the higher you may go! Joy is unlimited!
One must stand out and be separate, and never let go of Principle. If one does, he

Sebagian besar
One with God is a majority.
How long does it take for Omniscience and Omnipotence to know that It is?!
Man, in trying to regain his limitlessness, tried to conquer matter, energy, space, and
time through science and external machines. When he recognizes his ability to do this
directly there results clairvoyance, clairaudience, telepathy, telekinetic, teleportation,

If you want someone to do something and he doesn't, it's up to you to feel hurt. The
other person doesn't hurt you, - you do!
Whose feelings are you feeling when you feel hurt? If they are yours you are doing it.
If you are doing it, you can not do it.
Niat Pengganti
Good intentions are no substitute for the doing of the thing.
What you do is not nearly as important as the attitude with which you do it.
Tergantung
It's impossible to be happy when one is dependent on others.
We're happy when we are ex-pressing, but we're miserable when we're being im-
pressed.
Your answer should be "yes" or "no," but never "maybe." It's better to take wrong
action than to take no action. By wrong action one learns right action. Maybe
Lumpuh
becomes paralyzing to a human being.
Do not try to correct a problem. Behold the real Perfection and this frees you of an
assumed imperfection.
God is All and God is Perfect, and when one sees that, one can see only the Perfection
where the seeming imperfections seem to be.
There can be only perfection for one if that is his only thinking.
35
When we see imperfection without, we should look within.
See no evil, hear no evil, think no evil, and there will be no evil for you.
There is never any other time but the present moment, the past is always in the past,
and the future is always in the future.
Let go of past life and future life. Know the truth of the present and you will know
everything.
Anytime one is thinking in misery, one is moving downward and in the wrong
direction. Likewise, when one is thinking in joy, one is happy and is moving upward
and in the right direction. When the movement upward is greater than the movement
downward, the resultant progress is upward.

Aloneness is AI-Oneness.
Lonesomeness is to the degree that you are separated from your Self.
Lose the sense of separateness and gain the sense of "I am All. - every person, animal,
and thing."
The five senses are in limitation. God, Truth, is in "feelingness in the heart," When
the feelingness becomes matured, you will still see the world. But, instead of seeing it
as separate and apart you will see it as your Self, You; that you are it and it is you!
Then it becomes subjective rather than objective, You see it alright instead of
allwrong.
The only human thing about you is your belief that you are human. (You are Divine.)
This belief is the medium for lack, sickness, limitation, and misery.
Mendorong
Love is a shove to the above.
Mengerdilkan
Hate is a grate holding you down.
Help those who are not asking for it and get hurt.

Helping those who are not asking for it is imposing your will.
Never get into a situation where you are helping someone spiritually and being hurt
yourself. In the application of Truth, everyone gains.
We should get to the place where we feel that alI mothers are our mothers, all fathers

Menyiratkan
Language is an instrument of duality and admit separation. It implies the speaker, the
one spoken to, and the mailer spoken.
38
Belief is accepting on hearsay.
What comes out of a man's mouth is far more important than what goes into it.
If you want to know your consciousness, just look at who and what is around you.
A radical reliance on your Self (God) is the secret to the operation of the natural or
divine law.
Fortunate is the one whom life does test, that he may grow. The greater the test, the

The closer one comes to the Self, the more beautiful everything becomes.
When your heart is in the right direction, your thinking is in the right direction.
Direct your attention toward the other one's beingness. (Take it off your little self,

It is happier to love than to be loved.
Anger is a hanger.
When there is a real spiritual vision, one is never left the same. He or she is left with a
higher understanding and feeling of love.
One's outlook is determined by one's sight. To the physical eye, all is gross. To the
mental eye, all is subtle. To the spiritual eye, there is only the Infinite Self, and
everything becomes one infinitude.
In the waking state, the physical body perceives the manifold physical world. In
dreaming sleep the mental body perceives the mental creations in their manifold forms
and names. In deep dreamless sleep, no thing is perceived and the Self is.
The time required to accomplish the goal varies widely with individuals. Few
accomplish it rapidly as few really accept the way. However everyone reaches it
eventually.

For best decisions, decide only when your mind is quietest and when you feel

We are at this moment the result of the sum of all our past thinking.
Advice is thievery. It deprives the other one of an opportunity to learn by his own

When you offer a suggestion, take the attitude that the other one may accept it or not,

Pain turns off if you recognize it and feel it. Ninety per cent of all pain is just memory
of pain rather than pain, but it feels the same.
Grief is a thief.
Sympathy is feeling the misery of the other one and stepping down to where the other
one IS.
We have free will to identify with the limited body or to identify with the unlimited
self.
The joy that is ours is infinite. Joy is our inherent nature. Most people look for joys
in the world, in people, and are disappointed.
The greater the messenger shines, the less the message shines.
Seek the seeker. Find out who he is and you'll find God.

Never accept responsibility for another one's behavior, even if that one be closely

Karma is the law of compensation. Whatever a man soweth, that shall he reap; that
which a man thinks or does, returns to him in kind. Everything that one does now,
causes the same thing to happen to one in the future. Likewise everything happening
now, has its cause in something done in the past.

If God is All, that certainly must include us. If God is likened to the ocean and we to
the drops in the ocean, then each drop has all the attributes and qualities of the whole
ocean, that is, like the ocean, each drop is wet, fluid, salty, H20, etc. If God is
timeless and eternal, and if God is all, we are now, we always have been, and always
will be that God which we are seeking. We are God ignorant of this fact, acting like
not-God. All we need to do is improve our knowing of the fact that "I AM THAT I
AM" until our knowledge is only that. Then we see and know that we are that which
we have been seeking.
So the goal is to know that "I AM THAT I AM." This knowing, however, is not the
intellectual knowing, which is but like a tape recording. This knowledge is an
experienced knowledge gotten through Self realization, through stilling the five outer
senses and concentrating the mind inwardly until the Self, Itself, gives us the answer
by showing Itself.
No one can be taught Truth or God, each must realize Truth by himself or herself. A
Teacher can give the direction, the way, and the pupil may take it.
All Truth is provable. Accept nothing on hearsay. Each must prove out everything

There is only on Absolute Truth, and that is the Truth that is changeless. Before we

Reason and thinking, dealing with the limited senses, and being a lower level

the Absolute Truth.

Our rate of growth is directly proportional to the intensity of the desire for it.
Man thinks of himself as body, mind, and soul. Soul is the real Self, - Infinite, All-
Knowing, All-Powerful, Everywhere Present. Mind is a tool of Soul, used as an
instrument to create and reflect the physical universe. Body is the creation of mind.
Therefore, we must first get to know that we are not the limited body, then that we are
not the limited mind, and what is left is that we are the Pure Infinite Glorious Self,
Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnipresent! This is the real evolution. Life, as we

know it today, is in the limited realm of cause and effect. Natural.or divine law works
in accordance with cause and effect. To be masters and controllers of life, we need
only to know that thinking is the cause and what ever happens in the physical world is
the effect of that thinking! If, from this moment on, we would keep in mind only that
which we want, that is only what we would get!
Remember, mind is only creative, and will create constructive and destructive things,
determined by what we keep in mind!
