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.

You have to decide right now to be free once and for all. Everyone who has found freedom in this lifetime has had to make this decision.

Know that what appears to be Love for an

'other' is really Love of Self because 'other' doesn't exist. So this innermost Love can be given to no 'other'. Love of friends is for the sake of Self, not for body to body. True love has no Lover or Beloved because all Love is Love of Self.

#Papaji

The Lord that seems not to exist He alone exists; we individuals who seem to exist do not exist at all. The experience of this our complete non-being is what is called the highest knowledge.

Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside.

#SriRamanaMaharshi

"As long as you search for something other than yourself in order to obtain happiness, there will be no happiness for you. "

#SriRamanaMaharshi

You are beyond desire, which itself depends on the 'I am'. Do not suppress desires, just don't identify with them and they will disappear.

Find the spark of life that weaves

the tissues of your body and be with it.

It is the only reality the body has.

I do not want to teach anything to anybody; I only hold up a mirror to those who come here. I will make you stand before the mirror and look at yourself. You have to get the vision of yourself in the light that is emanating from your own Self.

#SriNisargadattaMaharaj

Watching yourself, that itself is meditation.

To keep only consciousness, without mixing it with anything, that is knowledge without words, that you ARE.

Thoughts will be there, but they will be weaker and weaker, so only the feeling of

"I Amness" will remain: just consciousness, without any activity.

if you read a book about swimming

and actually cannot swim

You missed the point

Same way

If you read a book about Divinity, spirituality

Remembered it

But have not become light electric and magic And you and the world around you has not

Transformed upside down

You missed the point.

Reading a book about quenching the thirst

Wont quench the thirst

Drinking water will quench the thirst

Words are just words.

Do not take them too seriously.

The reality which you are is beyond the words.

Think of the words that make you angry, words that make you happy, words that make you fearful.

All these words seem to have power, but in reality you give them power.

It's you who give the words power and make them meaningful,

so that when somebody says a certain word you may cringe or even smile or even cry.

To think that words have this power over you, whereas in truth words are completely meaningless unless you give them the power.

To Be is greater than belief for beingness is before belief.

Belief is of the mind and is conceptual whereas beingness is the light of the Eternal.
