Beginning
This is the moment of
embarking.
All auspicious signs are in
place.
In the beginning, all things are hopeful. We prepare ourselves to start anew. Though we may be intent on the magnificent journey ahead, all things are contained in this first moment: our optimism, our faith, our resolution, our inno-cence.
In order to start, we must make a decision. This decision is a commitment to daily self-cultivation. We must make a strong connection to our inner selves. Outside matters are superfluous. Alone and naked, we negotiate all of life's travails.
Therefore, we alone must make something of ourselves, transforming ourselves into the instruments for experiencing the deepest spiritual essence of life.
Once we make our decision, all things will come to us. Auspicious signs are not a superstition, but a confirmation. They are a response.
It is said that if one chooses to pray to a rock with enough devotion, even that rock will come alive. In the same way, once we choose to commit ourselves to spiritual prac-tice, even the mountains and valleys will reverberate to the sound of our purpose.
Questions appear real for as long as you consider yourself to be a person.
When you realize you are the impersonal presence, all questions vanish.
#Mooji
LIVE IN THE HEART
Live in your heart rather than in your head.
If life wants to announce a direction (for you to go in, it will prepare the way for you by presenting feelings in your body and mind to enable that movement to occur. And when your mind is seated in your heart, even if you should feel torn, other beings will come at precisely the right time to facilitate whatever transition needs to happen. Not only does your life become wind assisted, but you will also discover how miraculous this existence is.
#Mooji
When I am silent, I fall into that place where everything is music.
#Rumi
We are stars wrapped in skin The light you are seeking has always been within
#Rumi
Come on, sweetheart let's adore one another before there is no more of you and me.
#Rumi
The garden of love is green without limit and yields many fruits other than sorrow or joy.
Love is beyond either condition:
without spring, without autumn, it is always fresh.
#Rumi
Lots Of Way To Reach God.
| Choose Love.
#Rumi
A man once asked Rumi.
"Why is it you talk so much about silence?'
His answer:
'The radiant one inside me,
has never said a word, take my soul to that place where I may speak without words.
#Rumi
Any search moves away from the spot where the object of the quest is...
#Rumi
Locking the storehouse of happiness, man runs everywhere else, begging for that happiness.
How foolish, when he has the
entire store of joy lying
within himself!

Whenever you want to produce something, do not depend only upon the outside source; go deep within and seek the Infinite Source. All are recorded in the annals of God.
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Whenever you want to know something, don't start with data retire within and concentrate. Seek guidance from within. When the mind is receptive, then bring the data; start working out the business or mental solution. Do not be filled with discouragement and say it cannot be done.
Every human being is a representative of the Infinite Power. You should manifest that Power in everything you do. Whenever you want to produce something, do not depend only upon the outside source; go deep within and seek the Infinite Source. All methods of business success, all inventions, all vibrations of music, all inspirational thoughts and writings, are recorded in the annals of God.
First, determine what your goal is; ask divine aid to direct you to the right action whereby your objective will be fulfilled; then meditate. Afterward, act according to the inner direction that you receive; then you will attain what you want. When the mind is calm, how quickly, how smoothly, how beautifully you will perceive everything! Success in everything will come to pass in a short time, for Cosmic Power can be proved by the application of the right law.
#SriParamahansaYogananda
Yoga Master, Sri M told this beautiful story of a meeting with Mahavatar #Babaji in his book, “Apprenticed to a Himalayan Master – A Yogi’s Autobiography:” “My Guru stood up beside me and we both turned in the direction of the path to Neelkanth. From behind the tall teak trees, emerged a figure so beautiful, so transcendental, that my hair stood on end. I knew by instinct that it was Mahavatar Babaji who had come to grant me darshan out of his Love and Compassion.
My beloved teacher fell prostrate at His blessed feet and I followed suit. “Get up,” said a melodious voice, “I have urgent business with you. Now Mahesh,” he said addressing my master, “I think you should listen to Madhu. Times have changed, and I think we will shorten the list.” As you wish,” said my teacher.
I could not take my eyes off from the golden complexioned Being standing before me, bare-bodied, except for a shining white loin cloth that barely reached the knees and flowing brown hair that fell to his shoulders. He looked Divine, but it is difficult to describe his form. His hair touched his heels and was ablaze with a radiant fire. His countenance had a Heavenly luster and his body appeared wet as though he had had a bath and yet was dry. I could feel the oneness of all Creation in Him. The deathless fragrance of His body told me the tale of His immortality.
It felt as if the scent that emanated from Him entered my soul. He turned to me, and as I gazed into those compassion filled eyes, my mind went back to my past lives and my connection with Him.
Tears streamed down my face and my whole being pulsated with a Bliss that I had never experienced before. He raised his hands in blessing. We once again prostrated at His feet. When we raised our faces from the ground, He was already gone. Only the fragrant scent lingered. We walked back quietly to the cave. My heart was still full of Love for Babaji. After meditation, my Guru and I sat as usual in front of the Dhuni and after a long silence he started to talk about Babaji:
“Babaji is ever the same. He was never born and can therefore never die. They call Him aja, the unborn. From time to time our compassionate Lord of irradiant splendor does manifest for humanity to do what needs to be done. Pulling the veil of Maya over Himself, He will take a form of Lightless light to incarnate amongst the haunts of men. Babaji guards, guides, and enlightens the evolutionary blueprint of mankind.
His deathless body of lightless light may take any form through which He can express and show Himself to the faithful from age to age. People know Him by many names, and yet Babaji is called the Nameless One. He broods over the infant humanities from eternity to eternity. Heaven and Earth shall pass away, but He shall be in the here and now, eternally to stay. The limited vision of Sages, Siddhas, philosophers and yogis cannot pierce His transcendental star. His spiritual stature is inconceivable. He is the collective Elohim, the spiritual essence of the nine Nath Lords combined. He is the Great Sacrifice who in countless supernovae explosions infused every atom of creation with His spirit of livingness, Wisdom and Truth. To redeem not only humankind, but all life and matter to their pristine state of Consciousness............” Sri M, Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath
Everywhere is Consciousness and everywhere is home.
#Papaji
You simply have to be aware of the mind motions that initiate these never ending problems. Something actually arising from consciousness is just a concept and it is this concept that gives rise to the myth of individual identity. "I am" is the first movement of the mind and that's where problems arise.
