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.

"Everything that you perceive, you perceive because of light. And what anyone perceives, be he man or animal is perceived by that same light.

This outer light originates from an inner light, even a blind man has an inner light. The light of the Self is the same in all. Whether you worship Christ, Krishna, Rama or Kali, you actually worship that one Light which is also in you, which pervades all things. Everything originates from Light, is essentially Light."

"Intense love for the Guru makes rapid growth possible, he connects us with the internal Guru.

Adore your Guru if there be real truth in him; that Guru-bhakti (devotion) will quickly lead you to the highest."

Satsang will take you to the River,

But the crossing is your Own..!

Freedom cannot be gained not kept without will-to-freedom.!

"Worship of One"

Seeking blessings from Krishna And Christ has blessed me, prayed to Christ

And it was Buddha who attended me.

I called on a buddha

and krishna answered me"

What hurts you, blesses you.

Darkness is your candle.

#Rumi

If a man but once tastes the

joy of God, his desire to argue takes wing.

The bee, realizing the joy of sipping honey, doesn't buzz about

any more.

What will you achieve by quoting

from books? The pundits recite verses and do nothing else.

What will you gain by merely repeating

'siddhi'? You will not be intoxicated even by gargling with a solution of siddhi.

It must go into your stomach; not until then will you be intoxicated. One cannot comprehend what I am saying

unless one prays to God in solitude, all by oneself, with a longing heart.

#SriRamakrishna

On the dissolution of the body, the ether (consciousness)

limited by the heart (hridayam) alone ceases to exist.

People lament needlessly that the Self is extinct.

When pots, etc. are broken the space within them becomes unlimited.

So also

when bodies cease to exist the Self remains eternal and unattached.

Nothing whatever is born or dies anywhere at any time.

It is Brahman alone appearing illusorily in the form of the world.

The Self is more extensive than space; it is pure, subtle, undecaying and auspicious.

As such

how could it be born and how can it die?
