"I am a dream that can wake you up."

Rumi

 “Moonlight floods the whole sky from horizon to horizon;

How much it can fill your room depends on its windows.”

Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse

 

“Are we on the right road? Are we gaining knowledge? Are we approaching salvation? Or are we perhaps going in circles - we who thought to escape from the cycle?”

Rumi

 You went out in search of gold far and wide, but all along you were gold on the inside.

But the Buddha asks something subtler:

What happens when we cling to the things that once helped us?

People often turn methods into identities and insights into possessions. What once created freedom slowly becomes another attachment. A belief that opened the mind hardens into ideology. A practice meant to loosen the ego becomes part of the ego itself.

KRISHNAMURTI

 A mind anchored in the present and not tethered to the past or future is a Free Mind..

When inseparably One with Now, the notion of Time is lost— one simply flows with existence.. Only a free mind- unshadowed by past with no expectations for future- knows what pure love is..!

Brihadaranyaka Upanishad

 “Space is the body of awareness”

Paramahansa Yogananda

"It is the Spirit of God that actively sustains every form and force in the universe; yet He is transcendental and aloof in the blissful uncreated void beyond the world of vibratory phenomena. Those who have attained Self-realization on earth live a similar twofold existence. Conscientiously performing their work in the world, they are yet immersed in an inward beautitude"

Ram Dass

"You gotta remember that the ego is built on fear. It’s not built on love; it’s built on fear. It’s built on the fear of non-survival, and so you build a structure in order to make you safe. And it’s a beautiful instrument, but if you’re identified with it, you’re fearful all the time. And because you’re fearful you’re always going to overcompensate and make ego decisions that are a little inappropriate, because they’ll be colored by your looking from inside this place."
