Seng Ts'an

"The One is none other than the All, the All none other than the One."

“Self-realization

 

“Self-realization is the knowing – in body, mind, and soul – that we are one with the omnipresence of God; that we do not have to pray that it come to us, that we are not merely near it at all times, but that God’s omnipresence is our omnipresence; and that we are just as much a part of Him now as we ever will be. All we have to do is improve our knowing.”

Great Goddess (Shakti)

The Hindu mind has envisioned that Great Goddess (Shakti) as the boundless energy of all existence, as the primeval impetus of all movement and activity, pouring itself into the vast vicissitudes of space, manifesting as the major churning events of nature, as well as the creative expressions of life.

Great Mother- the Adi Shakti

 

The Great Vibration of Eternity, the Evolutionary Force that spins through all creation, the Primordial Power that ripples through all of existence, in every given moment of time, while working secretly in the soul of every aspiring man, is none other than the Great Mother- the Adi Shakti – who fashions the worlds and the many ages, shaping them thus through the many cycles of life.

Sanatana Dharma teaches that there is an ultimate spiritual reality, which one can call God, but that this reality transcends all names, forms and actions. Its highest Truth is one of monism - not that there is only One God but that there is nothing but God, which includes all creatures within a greater Being.

Sanatana Dharma

Sanatana Dharma teaches that the Divine being is not merely creator: It is the creation itself as well as the Uncreated which transcends time, space and causation as pure consciousness, called Brahman or the Absolute. All creatures and all the universe are in essence God. Our soul is one with The Absolute and can experience this in consciousness.

Democritus

"Happiness resides not in possessions, and not in gold, happiness dwells in the soul."

Ramana Maharshi

Only get rid of the body

idea, that is unlearning. It is to remove the erroneous idea that the body is the Self. This is the primary fault. This is to be obliterated. Realising one's true nature and being aware of one's identity in the Self is Self realisation or God-realisation

In the beginning when

there was nothing there was consciousness - total consciousness - where no objects and no subjects existed. You are this consciousness. Starting from the beginning, before the beginning, you are this consciousness. And this consciousness became all that you see. You are this consciousness itself. There are millions of kinds of manifestation existing in consciousness and you've become all this. You're the fountain of all this creation .

For this you do not have to exert or make effort, or search for any way or method or practice. Somehow you have to arrive here. How can you do it? Through adoration of the wisdom of the Self. That is consciousness. Adore your own consciousness with wisdom and you've achieved what you're aspiring for here and now

This collective mindfulness can bring positive change to our families, organizations, communities, nations and future generations.""We are all connected.

When you touch one thing, you are touching everything. Whatever we do has an effect on others. Therefore, we must learn to live mindfully to touch the peace inside each of us.
