The Guru's Grace (spiritual teacher) is both external and internal. From the outside, he pushes the mind inwards, and from the inside he pulls the mind towards the Self and helps it keep quiet. That is the grace. There is no difference between God, guru and Self. A guru's help is necessary and useful to start you on the inquiry, but you yourself must pursue it.

Step into the fire of self-discovery.

This fire will not burn you, it will only burn what you are not.

The study of scriptures is useless so long as the highest truth is unknown, and it is equally useless when the highest truth has already been known.

Trying to understand consciousness with your mind is like trying to illuminate the sun with a candle.

Why get into trouble? It's enough!

Everything is Here: Happiness, Beauty, Love! Whatever you call it, it is full of everything! Whatever you think, so it becomes because it is Consciousness and everything is possible in Consciousness.

You have created all these manifestations, all these waves in the ocean. You are so capable, so vast, so full, so complete, so conscious. You can create all of this so why suffer? Emptiness is never affected by appearances in Emptiness. The ocean does not suffer when a wave rises. It does not even suffer when a wave falls. Let he waves dance and let hem enjoy. Just stay Here and see only Love and Beauty and Happiness. This is the Ultimate Understanding. It does not need any thinking or any process or any meditations.

You are Limitlessness, Fathomlessness, Vastness: who wil disturb this Vastness?

Where will you run out so that you are no longer Here? You are not limited! Just stay as you are, do not start from anywhere and do not go anywhere, and do not activate a thought.

The Power that created you has created the world as well.

If it can take care of you, it can similarly take care of the world also ... if God has created the world, it is His business to look after it, not yours.

If you are guided by the Divine

Consciousness, then even when the future seems absolutely black, everything ultimately will come out all right. When God guides you, you cannot fail.

D: How can the rebellious mind be made calm and tranquil?

M: Either see its source so that it may disappear, or surrender yourself so that it may be struck down.

Self-surrender is the same as Self-knowledge, and either of them necessarily implies self-control. The ego submits only when it recognises the Higher Power. #SriRamanaMaharshi

The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly. Live each moment completely and the future will take care of itself. Fully enjoy the wonder and beauty of each moment.

Once when the satsang was over, an old man was taking leave. "It is getting late," he said, "I must be going home."

"Late indeed," agreed Anandamayi, "there you are right; but go to your real home, not to the dharmasala pilgrim hostel."

"I am not staying in any dharmasala, I have my own house here," he replied.

She shook her head and smiled: "Do you call that home? You won't be able to stay there for ever. Your days are numbered and when your time is up you will have to leave.

I call it dharmasala. There are rules and regulations; you may remain for a while but then you have to quit. This body tells you to find your real home from which nobody can drive you out, which is not of this world. Dig deep and unearth your real wealth, find your real home in God, who is your own Self.

#SriSriMaaAnandamayi

The love of God alone is desirable for a human being. He who has brought you forth, He who is your Father, Mother, Friend, Beloved and Lord, who has given you everything, has nourished you with ambrosia streaming from His own being - by whatever name you invoke Him - that name you should bear in mind at all times.

Who sees all beings in his own self and his own self in all beings, Loses all Fear.
