The only way to experience eternal peace is to see yourself in your hearts.
#NisargadattaMaharaj
Humble yourself, you'll grow greater than the world. Your Self will be revealed to you, without you.
#Rumi
#AshtavakraGita
In short, the great soul who has realized Truth is free of desire,
enjoyment and liberation.
In all of space and time he is attached to nothing.
Until you know
nothing,
you will never know
Self.
#AshtavakraGita
Suffering is the way for Realization of God.
#SriRamanaMaharshi
Suffering turns men towards their Creator.
#SriRamanaMaharshi
Meditation is a surrender, it is not a demand.
It is not forcing existence your way, it is relaxing into the way existence wants you to be.
It is a let-go.
#Osho
Awakening is not for you,, But from
you.
#Mooji
When you catch onto your awakening the world does not change. You just see it differently, that's all. You acquire a feeling of immortality, a feeling of divine bliss so-to-speak, where things no longer have the power to affect you. In other words, in the state of enlightenment cause and effect does not exist for you. But those who are living in the world are going through their karma, and they're beholding themselves everywhere they look, for the world remember, is only a projection of your mind.

Realisation is already there. The state free from thoughts is the only real state. There is no such action as realisation.
#SriRamanaMaharshi
The real is near, you do not have to seek it; and a man who seeks truth will never find it. Truth is in what is - and that is the beauty of it. But the moment you conceive it, the moment you seek it, you begin to struggle; and a man who struggles cannot under-stand. That is why we have to be still, observant, passively aware.
#JidduKrishnamurti
Seekers continue to practice all kinds of self-torture without realizing that such
spiritual practice' is a reinforcement of the very ego that prevents them from their natural, free state.
#RameshBalsekar
All bad qualities centre round the ego. When the ego is gone,
Realisation results by itself. There are neither good nor bad qualities in the Self. The Self is free from all qualities.
Qualities pertain to the mind only.
#SriRamanaMaharshi
Stillness or peace is Realization.
What does stillness mean?
It means 'destroy yourself';
because, every name and form is the cause of trouble.
'I-I' is the Self.
'I am this' is the ego.
When the 'T' is kept up as the T' only, it is the Self.
When it flies off at a tangent and says 'I am this or that, I am such and such', it is the ego.
#SriRamanaMaharshi
Ignoring the mind is a beautiful sadhana. This is what many of the sages did.
They ignored the mind out of existence. It loses its influence and its potency when it is ignored.
#Mooji
We have a tendency to think in terms of doing and not in terms of being.
We think that when we are not doing anything, we are wasting our time.
But that is not true.
Our time is first of all for us to be.
To be what?
To be alive, to be peaceful, to be joyful, to be loving.
That is what the world
needs most.
#ThichNhatHanh
Root out the aggression in your life, and learn to live compassionatey and mindfully.
Seek peace.
When you have peace within, real peace with others is possible.
#ThichNhatHanh
Rooted in your own joy, you are yourself.
You do not perceive anything outside yourself.
In your Self you shine and are like space.
You are Brahman.
There is no doubt of this.
#RibhuGita
You may spend a thousand years hearing of knowledge in the Sastras, but you will never reach their end.
Endless is the expanse of the Sastras, the life-duration is but limited, obstacles are legion; it is wisdom to go straight to the essence of the scriptures, like the swan sipping milk out of water.
Study, know their essential truth and then leave them aside like husk after collecting the grain.
Foolish indeed is the man, who living on the banks of the Ganga digs a little well to drink water'.
So is the man who begs of God material objects.
The Bhakta should be ready to stand up and say:
"I do not want anything from you, Lord, but if you need anything from me I am ready to give.
