Evil action

No action can prevent self realization. If we define evil as that which does not allow the self to be realized, then no action can be classified as evil. Since no action can prevent self realization, there is no such thing as an evil or wrong action. The self is to be realized by itself and this is not an action. Therefore, actions are not evil.

Only one thought

"God alone is real, all else illusory."
-Ramakrishna Paramhansa

This one thought alone is enough to sustain you through countless lifetimes. Nothing else is needed. Life and death are trivial before the reality of God.

Aligning with truth

Aligning yourself with truth is the best way to live life. To live a life that is misaligned to truth only results in meaningless suffering and misery. There is no separation.

Truth of God

The truth of God alone is enough to sustain you for lifetimes. To develop conviction in the truth of God alone is enough of a worthy occupation in life. And it will reach fruition, no matter what. This is the promise of the sages. Go forth now. May you never forget this!

Enlightenment

Enlightenment is needed only when the ego is believed to be real. Where there is no belief in the reality of the ego/personality, no enlightenment is needed or is possible.

In the absence of the ego, there is nobody there to get 'enlightened'.

Confusion

Confusion is a consequence of consciousness. As soon as consciousness arises, confusion arises. That which is beyond consciousness is beyond confusion.

Suffering identity

The key suffering that is experienced is a consequence of the notion of others. The existence of other people is the reason for 'my' suffering.

However, if looked at carefully, its the identification of 'me' which results in the notion of 'others'. 'Ego-identification' or the 'Me-identity' gets solidified through repeated dwelling. Once solidified, the concept of others also solidifies. A solid me vs a solid others in which the me is perpetually struggling to survive.

No respite for me. For suffering to end, the me has to go. No other way.
