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.

"One thing flows into another

and cannot be grasped. The true purpose is to see things as they are, to observe things as they are, and to let everything go as it goes."

Don't be self-centered. Rather be centered in the Self.

The greatest accomplishment is when there is no one here to accomplish anything at all.

How beautiful and rare to find one who is free

of projections, desires and needs-one who is no longer driven by the urge to control, possess or become anything.

Mind comes to a beautiful place of openness, silence, peace and rest.

Such a state can never be created; it is revealed when the tendency to identify with personal projections ceases and mind returns to its original nature-unborn Awareness.

Realize that your world is only a reflection of yourself and stop finding fault with the reflection.

I see everyone as I am. This being is the combination of the parents. All are engrossed in concepts, they enjoy them. By developing these concepts, you will not come out of it at all. First understand what is circumstantial and what is real. You are the product of the concepts of your parents, are you not?

#SriNisargadattaMaharaj

You are not the body. You are the immensity and infinity of consciousness. Don't assume what is not true and you will see things as I see them. Pain and pleasure, good and bad, right and wrong: these are relative terms and must not be taken absolutely. They are limited and temporary.

#SriNisargadattaMaharaj

"Life always gives us exactly the teacher we need at every moment.

This includes every mosquito, every misfortune, every red light, every traffic jam, every obnoxious supervisor (or employee),

every illness, every loss,

every moment of joy or depression, every addiction,

every piece of garbage, every breath.

Every moment is the guru."

Silence is best.

Silence is itself conversation.

#SriRamanaMaharshi

What is Self-Realisation? A mere phrase.

People expect some miracle to happen, something to drop from Heaven in a flash.

It is nothing of the sort.

Only the notion that you are the body, that you are this or that, will go, and you remain as you are.

Indeed, Realisation is but another name for the Self.
