Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj 💙

 

Jodorowsky, Alejandro.

 “As a mystic, I have but one aim: to know God. Not the God talked about everywhere, but this incredible thing that moves the universe. Further still: to dissolve myself calmly into that. This is my purpose, and for that, I do not need to be a guru, or a visionary, or any sort of paper doll.”

Carl Jung, Modern Man in Search of a Soul

 How can I be substantial if I do not cast a shadow? I must have a dark side also, if I am to be whole.

Hermann Hesse, The Glass Bead Game

 

“The deity is within you, not in ideas and books. Truth is lived, not taught.”

Nonin Chowaney

 “Moment-by-moment, we  create  the  world in the  mind. We  can look out  and create  a  gloomy, depressing  world on any  day  by  the  condition of  mind we  bring  to it. A  depressed mind can make  a  bright, sunshiny  day  black and dreary, and a  contented mind can create  heaven out  of rain and storm.  I  am  reminded of  the  old  Zen saying, ‘Every  day  is  a  good day.’  What determines  this?  The  mind  that dwells  nowhere;  the  mind that  accepts  everything. This  is nirvana.”

Meeta Ahluwalia

 In the pristine lake of pure and undivided awareness, absent of thought— divine consciousness blooms.

“I remind you again, the only difference between the sage and yourself is you see the world and you identify with it. You think it’s real. A sage sees the world and he knows it’s a superimposition upon Consciousness. So he identifies with Consciousness.”

Albert Einstein

“A human being is part of the whole, called by us the “Universe,” a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts, and feelings, as something separated from the rest–a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”

You are quite satisfied with pleasures. There is no place for happiness. Empty your cup and clean it. It  cannot be filled otherwise. Others can give you pleasure, but never happiness. Real happiness flows from within.
