"Do not decide that stillness or an experience of peace is enough. There is no experience that can give you anything other than experience. Reject all such tricks that the mind presents. In sinking into that which is prior and beyond all thoughts, all states of mind, all experiences, resting in the beingness that sees but cannot be seen, it is revealed that beyond the shadow of a doubt mind itself does not exist. Mind is only a concept."



Ashtavakra Gita

 Right or wrong,

Joy and sorrow,

These are of the mind only.

They are not yours.

It is not really you

Who acts or enjoys.

You are everywhere,

Forever free.



Joan Tollifson, Nothing to Grasp

 “We are each much more (and much less) than what we have imagined ourselves to be. We are each the unnamable presence-awareness that has no center, no owner, no location, no boundary, no form, no beginning and no end. We are each the whole universe and what remains when the universe ends”



Amir Mourad



"Whatever dividing lines you may find - they are all shadows of the intellect. The most fundamental blind spot in human consciousness is the failure to recognize that all of your ideas about reality are none other than projections of your own mind. And this too - is another shadow of the intellect - but as long as we are communicating through language, we have to be dragged into this ridiculous business. Drop your attachments in being for or against and discover what is left."



MICHAEL JAMES



Since the fundamental cause of all the suffering and lack of perfect happiness that we experience in this dream-life and so many other dreamlives is our imaginary self-forgetfulness or self-ignorance, we can end all our suffering and attain perfect happiness only by experiencing the absolute clarity of true self-knowledge. Since the illusion of duality is caused by our self-forgetfulness – our forgetfulness of our fundamental non-dual consciousness of our own infinite and absolute being – it will be dissolved only when we experience perfectly clear non-dual self-knowledge or self consciousness.



Gospel of Sri RamakrishnA



“The Divine Mother is full of bliss. Creation, preservation, and destruction are the waves of Her sportive pleasure.”



A Manuel of Sant Mat Mysticism, by Maharishi Mehi

If you look out, you will be stuck in. But if you look in, you will get out.

 "I should not be satisfied with a merely temporary cessation of particular sufferings, which even animals can experience. I must attain the supreme inner peace of nirvana."
