Religions have always stressed that compassion is not only central to religious life, it is the key to enlightenment and it the true test of spirituality. But there have always have been those who’d rather put easier goals, like doctrine conformity, in place.
The universe exists solely of waves of motion. There exists nothing other than vibration.
Having never left the house you are asking for the way home. Get rid of wrong ideas, that is all. Collecting right ideas also will take you nowhere. Just cease imagining. Don't try to understand! Enough if you do not misunderstand. Don't rely on your mind for liberation. It is the mind that brought you into bondage. Go beyond it altogether.
Evil exists. Cruelty exists. Misfortune exists. All of these things exist in this world and each of us will encounter our share of these things, some more than their fair share. The lotus flower takes root in the mud, often in stagnant pools. Yet, she rises above this and opens her petals to the sun in full beauty and is unsullied by the mud of her origins.
Ego is non-existent, otherwise you would be two instead of one – you the ego and you the Self. You are a single, indivisible whole. The ego or separate soul is a concept. God, the world, the mind, desires, action, sorrow and all other things are all concepts. The ego-self does not exist at all.
I want to be a force for real good…I know that there are bad forces, forces that bring suffering to others and misery to the world, but I want to be the opposite force. I want to be the force which is truly for good.
At the heart of the unconscious is what many experience as the source of life itself, and which some call God. Those who have experienced this describe it as a wondrous, ineffable source of light and energy that infuses all of creation, embracing all wisdom and radiating a vast, unending, and ever-constant love. Immersion in this is the essence of the mystical experience and produces what the great mystics have described as the state of unity or oneness. Such union is the culmination of all seeking, all desire; it is the most cherished of all experiences of which man is capable.
Only stick to one thing — One Eternal Truth.
Those who think about worldly matters only dream, as Vivekananda says, vacant dreams. The universe is nothing but a dream. It is unreal, compared to the reality of Truth — God. Let Truth be your goal. This Truth — Paramatman — is nowhere to be searched for. For He is very near you, nay, He is with you, within you. Seek Him within you. You could easily see Him, but for the four big "Devils" who stand in your way and do not allow you to see Him. They are: Egoism — Kama —Krodha and Lobha. Of the four the greatest is Egoism.
“Nothing is worth more than laughter. It is strength to laugh and to abandon oneself, to be light. Tragedy is the most ridiculous thing.”
