Meditation is not a withdrawal from life.
Meditation is a process of understanding oneself.

"There is only one Reality, an Self in which there is no other; and that is you! Here ends all speech and instruction. "
#srianandamayima
"This imagined division between yourself and God—between yourself and Truth-is the single most toxic belief one can embrace, because it poisons everything else."
#Mooji
Attention pays attention to a lot of things, but when attention pays attention to attention, then there is a stillness, and that stillness introduces you to your Self.
#Mooji
"When you surrender, you are surrendering the ego.
The way to do this is to look at the world humbly.
Look at the world with love and peace.
Saying to self:
"Not my will but yours" "
#robertadams
To bring about peace means to be free from thoughts and to abide as
Pure Consciousness.
#SriRamanaMaharshi
Love itself is the actual form of God.
'I do not love this; I do not love that', you reject all things, that which remains is Swarupa, i.e., the innate Self.
That is pure bliss.
#SriRamanaMaharshi
'Twos' and 'threes' depend upon one thing, the ego.
If one asks in one's Heart,
'What is this ego?' and finds it, they slip away.
Only those who have found this know the Truth,
and they will never be perplexed.
#SriRamanaMaharshi
WHO AM I
The gross body which is composed of the seven humours (dhatus), I am not; the five cognitive sense organs, viz. the senses of hearing, touch, sight, taste, and smell, which apprehend their respective objects, viz. sound, touch, colour, taste, and odour, I am not; the five cognitive senseorgans, viz. the organs of speech, locomotion, grasping, excretion, and procreation, which have as their respective functions speaking, moving, grasping, excreting, and enjoying, I am not; the five vital airs, prana, etc., which perform respectively the five functions of in-breathing, etc., I am not; even the mind which thinks, I am not; the nescience too, which is endowed only with the residual impressions of objects, and in which there are no objects and no functioning's, I am not.
#SriRamanaMaharshi
Destiny refers only to Name and Shape!
Since you are Neither body nor mind!
Destiny has No control over you!
You are Completely Free.!

Worship nothing else other than the sense of presence, and when you are one with the sense of presence, then whatever is necessary by way of spiritual knowledge will sprout by itself.
#SriNisargadattaMaharaj
Meet your own self. Be with your own self, listen to it, obey it, cherish it, keep it in mind ceaselessly. You need no other guide. As long as your urge for truth affects your daily life, all is well with you. Live your life without hurting anybody. Harmlessness is a most powerful form of Yoga and it will take you speedily to your goal. This is what I call nisarga yoga, the Natural yoga. It is the art of living in peace and harmony, in friendliness and love. The fruit of it is happiness, uncaused and endless. M: What prevents you from knowing is not the lack of opportunity, but the lack of ability to focus in your mind what you want to understand. If you could but keep in mind what you do not know, it would reveal to you its secrets. But if you are shallow and impatient, not earnest enough to look and wait, you are like a child crying for the moon.

#SriNisargadattaMaharaj
I see what you too could see, here and now, but for the wrong focus of your attention. You give no attention to your Self.
Your mind is all with things, people and ideas, never with your Self.
Bring your Self into focus, become aware of your own existence.
#SriNisargadattaMaharaj
Put your awareness to work, not your mind. The mind is not the right instrument for this task. The timeless can be reached only by the timeless.
Your body and your mind are both subject to time; only Awareness is timeless, ever in the NOW.
#SriNisargadattaMaharaj
"It is very important to understand that it is The Teaching that matters - not the person, or the Guru.
You get a letter that makes you laugh or cry. It is not the postman who does it.
The Guru only tells you the good news about your Real Self, and shows you the way back to IT. In a way, the Guru is ITs
'messenger'.
There will be many messengers, but the message is one: 'Be What You ARE !'
#SriNisargadattaMaharaj
Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height.
Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches.
Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion.
That's its balance.
#OSHO
"If you trust, everything that happens will help you grow. Life will prove you everything. Whatever you need at any given moment, will be given to you, right at that moment. This is the beauty of being confident. Little by little you will see how existence will give you, take care of you. You are not indifferent to existence. You are not ignored by her
Don't worry unnecessarily; existence provides all you need. Once you learn the art of trust, all worry disappears. "
#OSHO
Knowledge is available in books, in the college, in the universities, but wisdom is not available anywhere except within your own being. For knowledge you will have to go to others; for wisdom you will have to dig a well deep into your own consciousness.
