Sri Adi Shankaracharya

 Objects of the senses give pleasure only so long as the mind is attached to them.

The ultimate, unchanging joy is found only when the mind rests in its own true nature, independent of all external things.

H. W. L. Poonja

 When mind is quiet, all is Self. When mind moves the world arises. So be Still, throw away everything and be Free.

Nisargadatta Maharaj

When yo know beyond all doubting that the same life flows through all that is, and you are that life, you will love all naturally and spontaneously.

Namu Amida Butsu

A spiritual awakening is just that - an awakening. We still have to get out of bed. Some people awaken for just a moment and then doze off again. If we want to stay awake and alive, if we want the miracle of recovery to continue to unfold in our lives, we find ways to put this awakening into action. If we are not carrying the message, we go to sleep again.

Prabhavananda & Manchester, p. 122

The Self resides within the lotus of

the heart. Knowing this, consecrated

to the Self, the sage enters daily

that holy sanctuary. Absorbed in

the Self, the sage is freed from

identity with the body and lives

in blissful consciousness.

Sama Veda, Chandogya

Upanishad 8.3.3-4, The Upanishads,

The Upanishads

The Self is hidden in the lotus of the heart. Those who see themselves in all creatures go day by day into the world of Brahman hidden in the heart. Established in peace, they rise above body-consciousness to the supreme light of the Self. Immortal, free from fear, this Self is Brahman, called the True. Beyond the mortal and the immortal, he binds both worlds together. Those who know this live day after day in heaven in this very life.

 Happiness is your True Nature. Within you is Unimaginable Beauty. Your True Self is Bright and Shining this Moment. Through the clear Realization of the Truth, your Real Self will come shining through.
