Most of our karma is collective.
We suffer for the sins of others, as others suffer for ours.
Humanity is one.
Ignorance of this fact does not change it.
We could have been much happier people ourselves, but for our indifference to the sufferings of others.
#SriNisargadattaMaharaj
That which is yours is not 'You'.
What you can point out
as 'this' or 'that' cannot be yourself.
You observe the heart feeling, the mind thinking, the body acting;
the very act of perceiving shows that
you are not what you perceive.
#SriNisargadattaMaharaj
Don't ask the mind to confirm what is beyond the mind.
Direct knowing is the only valid confirmation!
#SriNisargadattaMaharaj
"Infinite intelligence is really what you are, but you have to be serious enough to discover for yourself what is true. To do that, you must open yourself to the possibility that everything you've learned is wrong. Otherwise, how can you find out what it really is?
When you become completely open, Truth becomes the most obvious thing...
... There is only One manifesting himself as all. Ponder and meditate on it until you realize it for yourself completely. Wake up to what you are "

When you feel the suffering of every living thing in your own heart, that is consciousness.
#BhagavadGita
God's nature is like that of a child. Just as a child builds a house, breaks it down, and then rebuilds it in play, in the same way God creates, preserves, and dissolves.
Just as a child is not subject to any guna, He too is beyond the three gunas of Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas.
#SriRamakrishnaParamhansa
"All soul are equal. The only difference between you and me is that I made the effort. I showed God that I love Him, and He came to me.
Love is the magnet from which
God cannot escape."
#ParamahansaYogananda
"For a devotee on the right path, the spiritual development is as natural and unnoticed as your own breathing," said the Master. "Once a man gives his heart to God, he becomes so deeply absorbed in Him that he hardly realizes he has solved all of life's problems. Others have started calling him 'Guru' Surprised he thinks :
" 'What! Has this sinner become a saint? Lord, let Your image shine on my face in such a way that no one sees me, but only You! ' "
#ParamahansaYogananda
Perfection
You should transfer your attention from failure to success, from worry to calmness, from mental wanderings to concentration, from restlessness to peace, and from peace to the divine bliss within. When you attain this state of Self-realization the purpose of your life will have been gloriously fulfilled.
#ParamahansaYogananda,
Don't be emotional when you pray.
At the same time, don't be diplomatic.
God is like a little child. You don't need to be tactful with Him. Talk to Him earnestly, with calm confidence.
Tell Him sincerely how you really feel.
#ParamhansaYogananda
All time is wasted that is not spent in seeking God.
#LahiriMahasaya
It's by God's grace that you think of God.

"It is the mind that talks.
It is the Self that experiences."

Active intelligence is productive intelligence.

Remember the three L's: life, love, light.
Life is given to you; you are alive.
Light is present, but you have to make a bridge between life and light.
That bridge is love. With these three L's you can make a total way of life, a way of being, a new way of being

The day you become courageous enough to enter into your own being, you have become a sannyasin.

A rebel is one who does not react against society. He observes and understands the whole carousel and just decides not to be a part of it.
He's not against society, he's rather indifferent to what's going on there.
That's the beauty of rebellion: freedom.
The revolutionary is not free. He's constantly fighting, fighting with something. So how could he be free?
He systematically reacting to something.
Where is the freedom in the mechanical reaction to external things?
Freedom is born with understanding. You must first understand the mechanisms at play: society prevents the evolution of the soul.
The system doesn't allow you to be you.
Once this is understood, you simply exit the system without even a scar on your soul.
The rebel forgives and forgets, he is content to distance himself from society, with no love or hate related to it.
