"In dream you love some and not
others. On waking up, You find You are love itself, embracing all! Personal love, however intense and genuine, invariably binds; love in freedom is love of all."

Let things happen as they happen-they will sort themselves out nicely in the end.
You need not strain towards the future-the future will come to you on its own. For some time longer you will remain sleep-walking, as you do now, bereft of meaning and assurance; but this period will end and you will find your work both fruitful and easy. There are always moments when one feels empty and estranged. Such moments are most desirable for it means the soul had cast its moorings and is sailing for distant places.
This is detachment-when the old is over and the new has not yet come. If you are afraid, the state may be distressing; but there is really nothing to be afraid of.
Remember the instruction: whatever you come across, go beyond.
#SriNisargadattaMaharaj
Instead of moving downstream with the mind by connecting to an object that you experience, move upstream to find the source. Don't go with the flow. Go in the opposite direction, upstream.
#Papaji
It is all your desires that you see, when you think. But when your mind is quiet, without desire, you are complete and as wonderful as you have always been.
What is fear?
It is only a thought.
If there is anything besides the Self there is reason to fear.
#SriRamanaMaharshi
There is no reaching the Self.
If the Self were to be reached, it would mean that the Self is not now and here, but that it should be got anew.
What is got afresh, will also be lost.
So it will be impermanent.
What is not permanent is not worth striving for.
So I say, the Self is not reached.
You are the Self.
You are already That.

Meditation is looking into your emptiness... welcoming it, enjoying it, being one with it, with no desire to fill it - there is no need; because it is already full.
It looks empty because
you don't have the right way of seeing it.
You see it through the mind...that is the wrong way.
"Enlightenment is not a desire, is not a goal, is not an ambition. It is dropping of all desires, It is just being natural.
That's what is meant by flowing. "
You want a love which is born out of meditation, not born out of the mind
"Love is the foundation
on which
one's life
can become
guest."
Spirituality is not religion. It is a path for us to generate happiness, understanding, and love, so we can live deeply each moment of our life.
Having a spiritual dimension in our lives does not mean escaping life or dwelling in a place of bliss outside this world but discovering ways to handle life's difficulties and generate peace, joy, and happiness right where we are, on this beautiful planet.
A true spiritual partner is one who encourages you to look deep inside yourself for the beauty and love you've been seeking. A true teacher is someone who helps us discover the teacher in yourself.

"Buddha was not an atheist.
He simply could not express his inner experiences in words.
Do you know what 'Buddha' means?
It is to become one with Bodha, Pure Intelligence, by meditating on That which is of the nature of Pure Intelligence; it is to become Pure Intelligence Itself." #SriRamakrishnaParamhansa https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/4707c8fa26c025f3694dc0a62d45fe597f7819deb8a45abb894f22cffbecb777/d841a158907d078fb6ae054ec87a7e5367ac00cecf355acd8fb6d10f1b5a2112.webp
"Everything that has a beginning has an ending.
Make your peace with that, and all will be well."
