Everything is perfect, but there is a lot of room for improvement.

Where can I find a man who has forgotten words so I can talk with him?
When you run after your thoughts, you are like a dog chasing a stick, every time a stick is thrown, you run after it Instead be like a lion who, rather than chasing after the stick, turns to face the thrower.
One only throws a stick at a lion once.
#Milarepa
Your heart knows the way.
Run in that direction.
#Rumi
The only lasting beauty is the beauty of the heart
#Rumi
I pray for the gift of silence, Of emptiness and solitude,
Where everything
I touch is turned into prayer
#Rumi
Remember,
the entrance door to the sanctuary is inside you.

No life will be a failure; there is no such thing as failure in the universe. A hundred times man will hurt himself, a thousand times he will tumble, but in the end he will realise that he is God.
#SwamiVivekananda
But those who are against this jnana that I am teaching, and do not put it into practice in their lives, have lost their discernment and live
in a state of constant confusion.
#TheBhagavadGita 3-32
Though you are the real owners of a treasure, through error you have lost it. For want of knowledge of the Self, all your belongings are in the possession of others.
In what hope are you passing your days?
How can you be content without having your belongings in your possession?
Always you think, 'I EXIST! Every moment your body and mind are changing, but in the midst of all these changes the unchangeable notion 'I EXIST' persists.
You never think 'I do not exist'. This awareness of 'I exist' is the reflection of the real 'I AM'.
When children play 'turn-around', they see the house, hut, door etc. revolving. Your mind is unsteady on account of your desire for sense objects, so you cannot see the True Reality. Be steady and you will find the Truth.
- The Life and the Teachings of #BrahmajnaMa
True wisdom comes from within. It is not available from outside. Real knowledge is not 'knowing' but
'self-discovering'-
#Gyaneshwar
Maya can be destroyed by the realization of the pure Brahman, the one without a second, just as mistaken idea of a snake is
removed by the discrimination of the rope.
#SriShankara Vivekachudamani
The Truth is so simple and pure, it doesn't need to be taught or learned. It needs only to be pointed out and recognised.
#Mooji
Whether you worship Christ,
Krishna, Kali or Allah, you actually worship the one Light that is also in you, since It pervades all things.
