Sri Robert Adams T 22: Before I Am 1st November 1990

 "That's why I tell you to spend so much time alone, when you don't watch television, and you don't listen to the

phone ring, where you can cut yourself off from the radio. Just sit and be your Self. Then you will experience pure being. For as long as you search, you'll never find it. After all, ask what you are searching for. You are searching for something that you already are. That's why you can never find it. If you were not that, then you would search, but you're already that, so searching becomes fruitless."

Ramana Maharshi

 For eternal happiness, the

only way is to know the Self. The truth will then shine forth from your Heart like sunshine. Mind becomes untroubled and real happiness will flood it. The Self and happiness are identical .. The relative happiness and unhappiness to the mind arises from sheer ignorance of the spiritual truth. Man's true nature is happiness which is inborn. One's search for happiness is an unconscious search for the Self. At last he finds what is already there. This happiness, bliss does not come to an end. It is eternal

Pema Chodron

 To be without

a reference point is the ultimate loneliness. It is also called enlightenment

Ralph Waldo Emerson

 Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful,

we must carry it with us or we find it not.

Kamand Kojouri

 You have no choice.

You must leave your ego on the doorstep before you enter love.

Yogananda

 The greatest romance

you can have is the romance with God. He is the Lover and our souls are the beloved, and when the soul meets the greatest lover of the universe, then the eternal romance begins

Paramahansa Yogananda

 "A devotee's life is never all roses and honey. God tests each one to determine the degree of his devotion. For many latent desires of the past remain buried in the spinal region ready to spring forth when conditions are right. These tendencies must be burned in the fire of meditation. The current which is revolved around the spine while practicing Kriya is so intense that it literally bakes the seeds of karma. So if you practice Kriya regularly, and with ever-increasing devotion for God you will reach the goal in the end."

Tattiriya Upanishad

 From love all beings have come;

by Love they all live and unto Love, they all return ❤

 We do not 'come into' this world.We come out of it as leaves froma tree. As the ocean 'waves',the universe 'peoples'
