 "Let go. Let Be. See through everything and be free, complete, luminous, at home -- at ease."

Anthony De Mello

 

Adi Shankaracharya

"The Mandukya Upanishad with the Karika embodies in itself the quintessence of the substance of the entire philosophy of Vedanta."

RAMAKANT MAHARAJ 2

 RAMAKANT MAHARAJ 2

You have an opportunity to use this body to know your Selfless Self, and how you were prior to beingness. Every moment in your life is very, very important. Every moment in your life is very, very important. Otherwise, there will be another dream, another dream, another dream. You are to come out of this vicious circle. You can do it with your own power. Break the vicious circle with your own power. You can break it because You are ultimate Reality.

REALITY AND KNOWLEDGE by Ramakant Maharaj:

Except yourself there is no God, no Brahman, no Atman, no Paramatman, no master. Know yourself in the real sense. We're knowing ourselves in body form. It's not your identity. Your identity is unidentified, invisible, anonymous identity. So your spontaneous presence is the cause of the projection of the world, so you are ultimate Truth, you are unborn. Devotees are people that want some happiness, peace of mind, tension-free life, fearless life. These things can happen once you know yourself in the real sense. You're totally unborn but you're thinking I am born and I am going to die. That concept is an illusory thought. True knowledge will help you realise what is the ultimate Truth, final Truth.

The choice is OURS....

 

Ramana Maharishi

 

John Ciardi (1916–86)

 The eternal world is not merely a world beyond time and the grave. It embraces time; it is ready to realize itself under all the forms of temporal things. Its light and power are latent everywhere, waiting for human souls to welcome it, ready to break through the transparent veil of earthly things and to suffuse with its ineffable radiance the common life of man.

"Be Here Now" Book by Ram Dass – Lama Foundation

“We’re talking about metamorphosis We’re talking about going from a caterpillar to a butterfly We’re talking about how to become a butterfly.” 

Nisargadatta:

 The very idea of going beyond the dream is illusory. Why go anywhere? Just realise that you are dreaming a dream you call the world, and stop looking for ways out.

Ludwig Wittgenstein

 If one understands eternity as timelessness, and not as an unending timespan, then whoever lives in the present lives for all time.

Marianne Williamson

 God exists in eternity. The only point where eternity meets time is in the present. The present is the only time there is.

Ram Dass

 

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

 Life is the childhood of our immortality.

Socrates (469BCE–399BCE)

 All men’s souls are immortal, but the souls of the righteous are both immortal and divine.

Krishnamurti

 

Edward Bulwer-Lytton,

 On the imagination God sometimes paints, by dream and symbol, the likeness of things to come.—What the foolish-wise call fanaticism, belongs to the same part of us as hope.—Each is the yearning of the soul for the great “Beyond,” which attests our immortality.

Blaine Pascal

 Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.

Padmasambhava

 If you recognize awareness,

All thoughts and appearances will liberate themselves.

If you know this, you are a Buddha.

If you do not, you remain a sentient being wandering in samsara.

The Upanishads

 Wherefrom do all these worlds come? They come from space. All beings arise from space, and into space they return: space is indeed their beginning, and space is their final end.
