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.

Emptiness is Brahman. Emptiness is the Self. Emptiness is your real nature.
You are so addicted and you have become so habituated that you cannot allow the cup to be empty even for a single moment. The moment you see emptiness anywhere you start filling it.
