Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

 

Consciousness is the basis of all life and the field of all possibilities. Its nature is to expand and unfold its full potential. The impulse to evolve is thus inherent in the very nature of life.

 

Adi Shankaracharya

 

Life is always unsafe and unstable, like a drop of water on a lotus leaf. The company of a divine personage, even for a moment, can save and redeem us. 

Shivapuri Baba

 

The sole purpose of human life is to find the Ultimate Truth or God, and for this, we must accept a certain code of life which means that we should put our life in the right order.

 

Ramana

 

The thought ‘I am this body of flesh and blood’ is the one thread on which are strung the various other thoughts. Therefore if we turn inwards, ‘Where is this I?', all thoughts [including the ‘I'- thought] will come to an end and Self-knowledge will then spontaneously shine forth within the cave (the heart) as ‘I-I' ...”

Kirpal Singh

 

As God is one, the God-way too cannot but be one. The true religion or the way back to God is of God’s own making and hence it is the most ancient as well as the most natural way, with no artifice or artificiality about it. In its practical working, the system needs the guidance of an adept or a teacher well versed in the theory and practice of Para Vidya, the Science of the beyond, as it is called, for it lies beyond the grasp of the mind and of the sense-faculties

Kirpal Singh “The Crown of Life”

 

if a man has no clear knowledge of what he really is, all his learning, greatness and power are merely fictitious! Hence, the first lesson to be learnt is about one’s own self. Let us therefore pursue the enquiry ‘Who am I?’

GOD IS PURE BLISS

 

 The Embodiment of Supreme Bliss, The Embodiment of Transcendental Happiness, The Embodiment of Transcendental Wisdom, The One beyond duality, The One in Eternal Bliss, The Embodiment of Oneness, The Supreme One, The Eternal One, The Unsullied One, the Ever-steady One, and The Eternal Witness.

The four Vedas

 

The four Vedas proclaim four mahavakyas or fundamental truths. These basic statements are: (1) Prajnanam Brahma or God is Pure Consciousness. (2) Ayam Atma Brahma, meaning that Atma (the Self) and Brahman (God) are one. (3) Aham Brahmasmi, meaning I am God. (4) Tat Twam Asi, meaning That thou art!

God is everywhere,

 

God is everywhere, inside as well as outside.” They then added, “Man, there is God in you. You have the effulgence of the Sun, but the darkness of ignorance is eclipsing this radiance.” The rishis saw God everywhere. Since God is Omnipresent, Bliss too is everywhere since bliss is God’s Form. God has no desires and that is why the state He is in is described as Parama Sukhadam (Supreme Happiness). If there are no desires, then one can truly experience Eternal and Supreme Happiness, which is what God is.

MACHHANDRA NATH

 

Chit-vriti nirodha (clearing the mind of the mental oscillations) is the essence of yoga. PATANJALI 

At-one-ment of the soul and the Oversoul is yoga. YAJNAVALKYA

 Extrication of the soul from the materials of life by disrobing it of the enshrouding sheaths, is yoga.
