Ramana Maharshi

 “The world is not external. Because you identify yourself wrongly with the body, you see the world outside, and its pain becomes apparent to you. But they are not real.

Seek the reality and get rid of this unreal feeling.”

“You are all searching for the silence of the mountain. But you’re looking for something outside. This silence is accessible to you right now, inside the center of your own being.” Ramana Maharshi

Upanishads

 


Nisargadatta

 “All you need is already within you, only you must approach your self with reverence and love. Self-condemnation and self-distrust are grievous errors… All I plead with you is this: make love of your self perfect.”



Ribhu Gita

 


Adyashanti

 No matter how far astray or deluded you become, you can never get a single step away from the Infinite's embrace.

Nisargadatta Maharaj

 ​"To realize the self is to realize that you have never left home. All your spiritual searching, all your suffering, and all your triumphs were just ripples on the surface of an eternal, unbroken sleep from which you are now waking up."



Ramana Maharshi

 ​"Do not struggle with the mind. Just be a witness to its restlessness. By watching it, you separate yourself from it. This detachment is the highest state of peace."




Sri Chaitanya-caritamrita Adi-lila 4.214

 ☀ SHRI RADHA ॐ ☀

“Among the gopīs, Śrīmatī Rādhikā is the foremost. She surpasses all in beauty, in good qualities, in good fortune and, above all, in love.”




Thomas Merton, New Seeds of Contemplation

 

“Do not look for rest in any pleasure, because you were not created for pleasure: you were created for spiritual joy. And if you do not know the difference between pleasure and spiritual joy you have not yet begun to live.”
