Any form or shape is the cause for trouble

Your duty is to be and not to be this or that.

'I am that I am' sums up the whole truth. The

method is summed up in the words 'Be still'.

What does stillness mean? It means destroy

yourself. Because any form or shape is the

cause for trouble. Give up the notion that 'I

am so and so'. All that is required to realize

the Self is to be still. What can be easier than

that?
