With the mind gone, misery is gone, and suddenly you are full of energy.
And the energy needs expression, sharing; it wants to become a song, a dance, a celebration. That is compassion: you start sharing.
#OSHO
No work stains a man who is pure, who is in harmony, who is master of hislife, whose soul is one with the soul of all.
#BhagavadGita
Birth and death are nothing but the beginning and ending of a stream of movements in Consciousness,
Interpreted as events in space-time!
You are Neither Born;
Nor will Die!
#SriNisargadattaMaharaj
Realize that whatever there is true, noble and beautiful in the universe it all comes from you;
you yourself are at the source of it.
.....................................
The world has no existence apart from you. At every moment it is but a reflection of yourself. You create it, you destroy it.
.........................................
The moment you say, "I am,"
the entire universe comes into being along with its creator.
............................................
"I am" is an ever-present fact; while "I am created" is an idea. Neither God nor the universe have come to tell you that they have created you. The mind obsessed by the idea of causality invents creation, and then wonders "who is the creator?"
The mind itself is the creator. Even this is not quite true, for the created and its creator are one. The mind and the world are not separate.
.................................................
Be aware that whatever happens, happens to you, by you, through you; you are the creator, enjoyer and destroyer of all you perceive, and you will not be afraid. Unafraid, you will not be unhappy, nor will you seek happiness.
In the mirror of your mind all kinds of
pictures appear and disappear. Knowing that they are entirely your own creations, watch them silently come and go, be alert, but not perturbed. This attitude of
silent observation is the very foundation of Yoga. You see the picture, but you are not the picture.
...........................................
All that happens in the universe happens to you, the silent witness. On the other hand, whatever is done, is done by you, the universal and inexhaustible energy.
...............................................
Yours is the desire that creates the universe. Know the world as your own creation and be free.

The Scriptures say
that we have our
Karma and our sin
and that is why we
are here,
But this is for the
ignorant masses.
One who has Realized the Self-knowledge,
For him these stories are of no use!

Five Verses on the Self
These are the last verses composed by Bhagavan. They were written at the instance of a devotee, Suri Nagamma,
the author of Letters from Sri Ramanasramam. He wrote them first in Telugu, but to a Tamil metrical form called venba, and then translated them into Tamil. Since there was already a
composition of Shankaracharya called the Atma Panchakam,
Bhagavan decided to call his composition Ekatma Panchakam.
1. When, forgetting the Self, one thinks
That the body is oneself and goes
Through innumerable births
And in the end remembers and becomes
The Self,
know this is only like
Awaking from a dream wherein
One has wandered over all the world.
2. One ever is the Self. To ask oneself
‘Who and whereabouts am I?’
Is like the drunken man’s enquiring
‘Who am I?’ and ‘Where am I?’
3. The body is within the Self. And yet
One thinks one is inside the inert body,
Like some spectator who supposes
That the screen on which the picture is thrown Is within the picture.
4. Does an ornament of gold exist
Apart from the gold?
Can the body exist Apart from the Self?
The ignorant one thinks ‘I am the body’;
The enlightened knows ‘I am the Self’.
5. The Self alone, the Sole Reality,
Exists for ever.
If of yore the First of Teachers
Revealed it through unbroken silence
Say who can reveal it in spoken words?
#SriRamanaMaharshi
"In all forms of spiritual practice other than atma-vicãra (self-investigation) our attention is directed towards something other than ourself as we actually are, our fundamental awareness 'I am'. So such practices will only sustain and perpetuate the illusion of the false 'I' who is practising them, and hence they can never destroy it. The only means by which we can destroy this illusion is to withdraw our attention from everything else and focus it exclusively upon 'I'."
#SriRamanaMaharshi
Pay no attention to the thoughts that bother you].
Don't fight them. Just do nothing about them, let them be, whatever they are.
Your very fighting them gives them life. Just disregard.
Look through.
#SriNisargadattaMaharaj
You want to be full of ease and Spontaneity?
Stop trying to become something in a dream.
When you are completely empty of the unreal, You become a vessel for the real..!
#SriNisargadattaMaharaj
The Tao is the Great Mother: empty yet inexhaustible, it gives birth to infinite worlds."
#LaoTzu
Ever desireless,
one can see the mystery.
Ever desiring, one sees only the manifestations.
#LaoTzu
Love is when
the holy nothingness loves itself.

The Echo of Silence
In the echo of silence,
The whispers of the divine are heard, A melody sung by the universe, A song without a single word.
Listen to the echo, my dear, And let your soul be stirred, In the silence, you'll find, The divine's sacred word.
