The innermost light, shining peacefully and timelessly in the heart, is the real Guru.
All others merely show the way.
#SriNisargadattaMaharaj
What you call matter is
consciousness Itself!
You are the space (akash) in which it moves, the time in which it lasts, the love that gives it life! Cut off imagination and attachment and what
remains?
Q: The world remains. I remain.
M: Yes. But how different it is when you can see it as it is, not through the
screen of desire and fear!
#SriNisargadattaMaharaj
It is the mind that tells you that the mind is there.
Don't be deceived.
#SriNisargadattaMaharaj
Forget me, forget the teachings, stay in the consciousness, be the consciousness,
as the portal to the Absolute.
#SriNisargadattaMaharaj
Once you realize
that all happens by itself (call it destiny or the will of God or mere accident),
you remain as witness only, understanding and enjoying but not perturbed.
#SriNisargadattaMaharaj
"All happiness comes from awareness. The more we are conscious, the deeper the joy.
Acceptance of pain, non-resistance, courage and endurance -- these open deep and perennial sources of real happiness, true bliss."
#SriNisargattaMaharaj
Meditation is the most important way to resurrect the soul from the slavery of the body and from the shackles of all trials. Meditate at the feet of Infinity. Learn to saturate yourself with God consciousness. Your trials may be heavy, they may be great, but your greatest enemy is yourself. You are immortal; your trials are deadly. They are changeable; you are unchangeable. You can release infinite powers and disintegrate your infinite trials.
#ParamahansaYogananda
I am the Self, O Gudakesha, seated in the hearts of all creatures.
I am the beginning, the middle, and the end of all beings.
#BhagavadGita
"You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul."
#SwamiVivekananda
Remove the tares of evil traits from your soul and sow more seeds of spiritual qualities, to increase the crop of good harvest.
#ParamahansaYogananda
Success doesn't lie in listening to my sermons, but in practicing what I have told you.
#ParamahansaYogananda
You have to keep your word! You
must produce results and accomplish the target.
#MasterChoaKokSui
Honesty must be balanced with loving-kindness. and non-injury.
It must be balanced with
compassion.
#MasterChoaKokSui
Don't be deceived by appearance.
The person may occupy an old body but the soul may still be very young.
The person may occupy a young body but the soul may be very old.
#MasterChoaKokSui
In mindfulness
one is not only restful and happy,
but alert and awake.
Meditation is not evasion; it is a serene encounter with reality.
#ThichNhatHanh
The next Buddha will not take the form of a person. The next Buddha will rather take the shape of a community. a community that practices understanding and loving kindness, a community that practices a way of conscious living. This may be the most important thing for earth's survival
#ThichNhatHanh
What is malleable is always superior to that which is immovable. This is the principle of controlling things by going along with them of mastery through adaptation.
#LaoTzu
If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself. If you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself.
Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.
#LaoTzu
"Whatever has the nature of arising has the nature of ceasing." #Buddha
"Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship."
