Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa

 

 "In profound meditation, they found, when consciousness is so acutely focused that it is utterly withdrawn from the body and mind, it enters a kind of singularity in which the sense of a separate ego disappears. In this state, the supreme climax of meditation, the seers discovered a core of consciousness beyond time and change. They called it simply Atman, the Self."

Conditioned soul UNKNOWN AUTHOR

 

Conditioned soul frequently gets deluded in to the twin aspects of everything . But knowing about One presence which expresses itself through its manifestation , leads to higher level of understanding . ITS One Presence / Pure Existence / Pure Consciousness through which everything else comes to existence and goes back to Singularity . Pure Consciousness is infinite field of unlimited possibilities , IT is brilliant beyond imagination . This Pure Consciousness is understood by many through different names and forms . If we were to conclude , Its all One with limitless possibilities!!!

SELF EXPLANATORY...

 

Ramana Maharshi

 

That inner Self, as the primeval Spirit,Eternal, ever effulgent, full and infinite Bliss,Single, indivisible, whole and living,Shines in everyone as the witnessing awareness.That self in its splendour, shining in the cavity of the heartThis self is neither born nor dies,Neither grows nor decays,Nor does it suffer any change.When a pot is broken, the space within it is not,And similarly, when the body dies the Self in it remains eternal.”

Nature of the Divine

 

God cannot be identified with one Name and one Form. He is all Names and all Forms. All Names are His; all Forms are His. Your Names too are His, you are His Forms. You appear as separate individual bodies because the eye that sees them seeks only bodies, the outer encasements. When you clarify your Vision and look at them through the Atmic eye, the eye that penetrates behind the physical (with all its attributes and appurtenances), then you will see others as Waves on the Ocean of the Absolute, as the "thousand heads, the thousand eyes, thousand feet of the Supreme Soverign person or 'Purusha' sung in the Rgveda. Strive to win that Vision and to saturate yourself with that Bliss.

Lao Tzu

 

I have just three things to teach:simplicity, patience, compassion.These three are your greatest treasures.Simple in actions and in thoughts,you return to the source of being.Patient with both friends and enemies,you accord with the way things are.Compassionate toward yourself,you reconcile all beings in the world.

Bhagavan Nityananda

 

Bhagavan Nityananda used to day, "O soul, you should see the inner beauty. It is so sweet, so fascinating, so joyous. Not even a drop of that inner ocean can be found on the outside. Therefore, turn within. Meditate, meditate, meditate!"

Mundaka Upanishad 2:2:2

 

“He, the self-luminous, subtler than the subtlest, in whom exist all the worlds and all those that live therein–he is the imperishable Brahman. He is the principle of life. He is speech, and he is mind. He is real. He is immortal. Attain him, O my friend, the one goal to be attained!”

Hazrat Inayat Khan

 

There is a poem by the great Persian poet Iraqi in which he tells, 'When I went to the gate of the divine Beloved and knocked at the door, a voice came and said -- Who art thou?' When he had told, 'I am so and so', the answer came, 'There is no place for anyone else in this abode. Go back to whence thou hast come'. He turned back and then, after a long time, after having gone through the process of the cross and of crucifixion, he again went there -- with the spirit of selflessness. He knocked at the door; the word came, 'Who art thou? ', and he said, 'Thyself alone, for no one else exists save Thee'. And God said, 'Enter into this abode for now it belongs to thee'. It is such selflessness, to the extent that the thought of self is not there, it is being dead to the self, which is the recognition of God.

Adi Da Samraj – Enlightenment and the Transformation of Man, 1983.

 

“Once fully Realized, the seventh stage of life becomes the perpetually Enlightened foundation of existence, even beyond death and in any future lifetimes. The gross body-mind is progressively Transfigured in Divine Radiance, and the subtle or higher mind becomes the vehicle of Transformation… Ultimately, this continuous God-Realization leads to Divine Translation, or conversion of the individuated being beyond all phenomenal appearances into the “Divine Domain” of Radiant Life-Consciousness.”
