Maitreyi Ariya

 

 Men who suppress their Divine Feminine energies are crippled in their ability to become whole, to truly live a life in abundance and to build their empire together with their Divine Feminine partner. They are chasing external factors, such as money, fame, cars, houses, watches, luxury, and so on. He has not learned (yet) to do the inner work, to get into his heart space and feel the unconditional love that he is and receives.


It’s like a dance ~ Tenzin Palmo

 


It’s like a dance. And we have to give each being space to dance their dance. Everything is dancing; even the molecules inside the cells are dancing. But we make our lives so heavy. We have these incredibly heavy burdens we carry with us like rocks in a big rucksack. We think that carrying this big heavy rucksack is our security; we think it grounds us. We don’t realize the freedom, the lightness of just dropping it off, letting it go. That doesn’t mean giving up relationships; it doesn’t mean giving up one’s profession, or one’s family,or one’s home. It has nothing to do with that; it’s not an external change. It’s an internal change. It’s a change from holding on tightly to holding very lightly.



(Ancient Sanskrit)

 “Look to this day, for it is life, the very breath of life. In its brief course lie all the realities of your existence; the bliss of growth, the glory of action, the splendor of beauty. For yesterday is only a dream, and tomorrow is but a vision. But today, well lived, makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well, therefore, to this day.”


The 3 dolls by Ramakrishna

 

THERE ARE THREE DOLLS- THE FIRST MADE OF SALT, THE SECOND MADE OF CLOTH, AND THE THIRD OF STONE. IF THESE DOLLS ARE IMMERSED IN WATER, THE FIRST DOLL MADE OF SALT WILL BECOME DISSOLVED AND LOSE ITS FORM. THE SECOND DOLL MADE FROM CLOTH WILL ABSORB A LARGE QUANTITY OF WATER BUT RETAIN ITS FORM. THE THIRD DOLL, MADE OF STONE, WILL REMAIN IMPERVIOUS TO WATER.

THE FIRST DOLL MADE FROM SALT REPRESENTS THE MAN WHO MERGES HIS SELF IN THE UNIVERSAL AND ALL-PERVADING SELF AND BECOMES ONE WITH IT. HE IS THE LIBERATED MAN

THE SECOND DOLL FROM CLOTH REPRESENTS THE BHAKTA (DEVOTEE) OR THE TRUE LOVER OF GOD, WHO IS FULL OF DIVINE BLISS AND KNOWLEDGE. AND THE THIRD DOLL MADE OF STONE, REPRESENTS THE WORLDLY MAN WHO WILL NOT ADMIT EVEN A PARTICLE OF TRUE KNOWLEDGE INTO HIS HEART.


The Spirit of Vedanta: Hinduism Quotes

 

“Most humbly we bow to You, O Supreme Lord. At Your command moves the mighty wheel of time. You are eternal, and beyond eternity.” (Artharva Veda) -------------- “The one who loves all intensely begins perceiving in all living beings a part of himself… He becomes a lover of all, a part and parcel of the Universal Joy. He flows with the stream of happiness, and is enriched by each soul.” (Yajur Veda) -------------- “The human body is the temple of God. One who kindles the light of awareness within gets true light. The sacred flame of your inner shrine is constantly bright… The experience of unity is the fulfillment of human endeavors. The mysteries of life are revealed.” (Rig Veda)


Santmat (Love’s Last Madness, Darshan Singh)


The moment I close my eyes, the Beloved's Light begins. Let them try to imprison Him in temple, mosque and church! The seeing eye finds the Beloved’s signs in every mote. Very near your heart are seekers of your vision; Those who look at the surface are exiled from the Beloved’s Light. What can I say of the grace he showers on me within? Darshan, the moment I close my eyes, the Beloved’s Light begins





                              


(Rig Veda)

 “Sing the song of celestial love, O singer!

May the divine fountain of eternal grace and joy enter your soul. May Brahma, (the Divine One), Pluck the strings of your inner soul with His celestial fingers, And feel His own presence within. Bless us with a divine voice That we may tune the harp-strings of our life To sing songs of Love to you.”



BHAGAVAN SRI SATHYA SAI BABA

 

He who realises Brahman is Brahman Itself The Divine is the base —and is also the superstructure. The beads are many, but the interconnecting, integrating string of the rosary is one. So also for the entire world of living beings; God, the permanent, omnipresent Parabrahman, the Supreme Divine Consciousness, is the base. “I am God (soham)”, “He is I”, “I am that”, all these axioms indicate that even those that differentiate themselves under names and forms are in fact God Himself. This is why the Vedas proclaim, “He who realises Brahman is verily Brahman Itself (Brahmavith Brahmaiva Bhavathi)”. This awareness is the awareness of the reality


Robert Adams

 Let me remind you again.

Do not try to change your thoughts,

or to change your life style,

or to work on your bad habits,

or to try to remove fear,

and the rest of it.

Rather you lift your vision high,

to the highest, by following the

I-thought to its source.

And one day you will discover

something interesting.

Your body will appear to melt, to dissolve.

The world, the universe will appear to

dissolve. Your God will appear to dissolve.

Everything you stood up for, everything you

have believed in, all of your thoughts, your

feelings, your emotions, will dissolve.

And you will find yourself as omnipresence

all-pervading consciousness.

You will discover that you’ve always been

the ultimate reality, ultimate oneness.

You are the ‘I’ am. You are free.


M. James

 Our essential consciousness ‘I am’ is thus the ultimate reality, the

original source from which everything arises, and the final destination towards which all religions and spiritual traditions seek to lead us. Most religions call this fundamental reality ‘God’ or the ‘Supreme Being’, or else they refer to it in a more abstract manner as the true state of being. But by whatever name they may call it – and whether they describe it as a being or a state of being – the truth is that the supreme and absolute reality is not anything other than our own being, the consciousness which we experience as ‘I am’.
