Sri Swami Sivananda

The night that has passed away will not return back, just as the stream of the Ganga flowing towards ocean will not recede back. Death accompanies you in your walk, sits down when you sit, travels long distance with you and returns with you. You rejoice at the rise of the sun and feel delighted at the approach of night, but do you not understand that your life by this has been shortened ?

Eating, drinking, sleeping, little laughter and much weeping. Is that all ? Do not die here like a worm. Wake up. Attain Immortal Bliss.

Eliphas Levi

''Equilibrium is the consequence of two forces. The movement which produces the appearances of death and life is a continual generation. God loves the void, which He made in order to fill it; science loves the ignorance which it enlightens; strength loves the weakness which it supports; good loves the apparent evil which glorifies it; day is desirous of night, and pursues it unceasingly round the world; love is at once a thirst and a plenitude which must pour itself forth. He who gives receives, and he who receives gives; movement is a continual interchange.''

Papaji

Dhyana is when the mind has no object and no subject. The rest is concentration, which has to be practised.

We should not forget that the mind will be calm as long as you are practising, but it will not destroy itself. The mind will not be destroyed. It will be calm for sometime.

So, to keep the mind calm and destroy it forever is the aim and this is absolutely necessary for freedom.

When there is no mind, this is freedom. When the mind doesn't function, it is freedom.

I don't find any results by concentrating on an object, because it is done with some effort. Some effort is needed between the observer and the object of observation, and this, in between them, this function is effort. When the mind doesn't function and returns to its natural state of calm and peace, this is effortless. This is called "freedom".

To attain this freedom, no effort nor method is necessary. You have not to tread on the beaten track. You have to find your true nature, find out who you are. You have to start there before trying to know anything else.

Leave aside all methods, leave aside everything.

Sit quiet and do not move.

Do not move the mind, do not activate the mind nor the intellect.

Then observe the observer itself and this will be your true nature, from where everything else comes.

This is your own nature.

“They say that animals are incapable of feelings and reasoning. This is false. No living thing on earth is void of either. They also say that man is the most intelligent — and the most superior — species on earth. This is also false. It is very arrogant to assume that we are the most intelligent species when we keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again. It has been shown that both rats and monkeys learn from making errors, yet we have not. Our history proves this. All creatures on earth have the capacity to love and grieve the same way we do. No life on the planet is more deserving than another. Those who think so, are the true savages.”

Artist Sandra M. Stanton

OSHO

 You are divine, you are Buddhas. You have forgotten about it, that's all. It has to be remembered.

All that is needed is remembering.

Nothing has to be achieved - you are it already. Truth is

fallen in a kind of sleep. Awake, and you will know it; and you will not know it as an object, you will know it as your very subjectivity.

Soren Kierkegaard says, "Truth is subjectivity. " He is right. Truth is your innermost core.

And that is the only principle of the Sufis: Only truth is, or, Only God is.

And how to practise it? Then too there is only one single practise, zikr - remember.

Come out of your sleep. Remember.

🍁Osho, Don't Let Yourself Be Upset by the Sutra, rather Upset the Sutra Yourself. Chapter #17.

Love is the only hope.

It is only because of love that man finds it possible to reach God.

If there were no love there would be no religion, no prayer.

If there were no love there would be no art, no poetry, no music.

If there were no love there would be no beauty, no friendship.

All that is valuable in life comes through love.

Love is the source of all that is nourishing.

Ultimately love becomes the door of God too.

In its purest form love is prayer.

And to know what prayer is, is to know God.

God cannot be known by any proof.

God can only be known by a praying heart, a loving heart.

It is not a logical conclusion but an existential experience of total love.

When your love spreads all over, when it knows no limitations, when it is not bound to this person or that person, to this object or that a object, when it is unbounded, when it is like a flood . Overowing in all directions –you have known what God is.

God is love overflowing.

To be flooded with love is to be flooded with God.

Hence I say that love is the only hope, otherwise everything is hopeless

THE GREAT COSMIC JOKE...

 THE GREAT COSMIC JOKE... ~Thich Nhat Hanh🙏🏼💐

The moment of awakening may be marked by outbursts of laughter, but this is not the laughter of someone who has won the lottery or some kind of victory. It is the laughter of one who, after searching for something for a long time, suddenly finds it in the pocket of his coat.

Mystic Tantra Vidya Says...

Sexual energy is the primal and creative energy of the universe. All things that are alive come from sexual energy. In animals and other life forms, sexual energy expresses itself as biological creativity. In humans, sexual energy can be creative at all levels – physical, emotional and spiritual. In any situation, where we feel attraction, arousal, awakening, alertness, passion, interest, inspiration, excitement, creativity, enthusiasm, in each of these situations, sexual energy is at work. Whenever we feel these states of awareness, we must put our attention on the energy that we are experiencing, nourishing it with our attention, experiencing it with joy and keeping it alive in our awareness.
