The highest truth is to delete, not to add.

To get rid of the things you believe in now.

So empty yourself out totally and completely.

All of your ideas, your feelings, all have to be emptied out of you.

When you become totally and completely empty there is nothing you have to do to fill it up again.

Emptiness is realization.

Emptiness is Brahman. Emptiness is the Self.

Emptiness is your real nature.

— Robert Adams
