Most of us are stuck in a dream world. We're stuck in a dream world because it presses down on us. It appears so real.
Things are happening every day. Yet, one day you will awaken. It's the same as awakening from your dream at night.
There is no difference.

When you awaken to the dream at night, do you have any interest in the dream? You may for a while. If you're into dreams, you may try to decipher what the dream means, for a little bit. But after a while you forget all about the dream.
So it is with this world. When a person awakens, or a person becomes liberated, they are able to see the dream, but they know they are not part of it. They also observe everything, but they are not part of the dream. The world no longer has any power over them, over the awakened person, the liberated person.

The world has no power whatsoever over you once you're liberated.

                                       

Paramahansa Yogananda

Feel the love of God; then in every person you will see the face of the Father, the light of love which is in all. You will find a magic, living relationship uniting the trees, the sky, the stars, all people, and all living things; and you will feel a oneness with them. This is the code of divine love.


                                                                                 

Eckhart Tolle

“One of the dysfunctional patterns of the mind is the assumption that the Now needs to be filled with something all the time. Of course you have to do things, but see if you can also experience the spaciousness of this moment, the inherent goodness of this moment, regardless of what it contains.”

Ananda as Atman, the Ultimate Essence or Rasa

By David Frawley (Vamadeva Shastri)


The Vedic idea – which we find clearly expressed in the Taittiriya Upanishad – is that the entire universe arises from Ananda. Ananda is commonly translated as Bliss, which is perhaps the best equivalent in the English language, but is much more than that. Ananda refers to an unbounded peace and joy that overflows from the transcendent into time-space creation. This Ananda is our own inner nature and the pursuit of Ananda should be our true way of life. Yet Ananda is not just feeling good or happy, but is the fullness of feeling, in which we can understand every aspect of life as part of our own inner being, with a Divine fervor that is able to embrace and go beyond sorrow and death.

                                               

  

Kabir

Go deeper …
Past thoughts into silence.
Past silence into stillness.
Past stillness into the heart.
Let Love consume all that is left of you.

​Michael Kewley May all beings be happy

With wisdom, everything is seen as clouds passing through an empty sky, some pleasant, some unpleasant, some attractive and some unattractive, but all having the same universal quality of impermanence (Anicca).
There is nothing to hold on to and nothing to understand.
There is only this moment, and in this moment the whole of our life exists.

Remember

“Remember, that you are the source of what you seek. You are the freedom, you are the goodness, you are the wisdom, you are the worthiness, you are the love and the presence. All the self-limiting ideas are just that—ideas

Inner Space, The Kingdom of the Heavens Within You

WITHIN this earthen vessel are bowers and groves, and within it is the Creator:

Within this vessel are the seven oceans and the unnumbered stars.

The touchstone and the jewel-appraiser are within;

And within this vessel the Eternal soundeth, and the spring wells up.

Kabir says: “Listen to me, my Friend! My Beloved Lord is within.”

                                          

– From Guru Granth Shahib

‘For the sake of it, you journey to sacred shrines and holy rivers;

but this priceless jewel is within your own heart.’
