Amoda Maa



'This inner freedom cannot be given to you, not by anyone, however enlightened they are. Freedom is a gift of grace, when you are ripe. It is given by the mystery of love.'

                                                  



The way of liberation by Adyashanti

 Truth is not over there, wherever over there is. Truth is neither housed in religious rituals nor secret doctrines, nor in a guru’s touch or beatific smile, nor in exotic locations or ancient temples. Truth is quite literally the only thing that does exist. It is not hidden but in plain view, not lacking but abundantly present.

Absolute Truth is not a belief, not a religion, not a philosophy, not a momentary experience, and not a transient spiritual experience either. It is neither static nor in motion, neither good nor bad. It is other than all of that, more other than you can ever imagine. Truth cannot be touched by thought or imagined by the mind. It can only be found in the heart of universal being.

To know thy self is the key. To bring forth your being is The Way.



The Kybalion

 "To destroy an undesirable rate of mental vibration, put into operation the Principle of Polarity and concentrate upon the opposite pole to that which you desire to suppress. Kill out the undesirable by changing its polarity."


-The Dhammapada

 See the false as false,

The true as true.
Look into your heart.
Follow your nature.

“Guru, God and Self are One.” --Ramana Maharshi

 


Robert Adams

 *“Look at the world. The world is a cosmic joke. It appears to be real. The good things, the beautiful things, the horrible things. They are all impostors. The world is a world of duality – for every up there is a down. Get out of it by transcending the mind and body. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Stop paying so much attention to your thoughts, to the world, to your body. Let come what may. Surrender totally to your Self. Your Self is God, Consciousness. Begin to identify with the I Am, not with conditions. Feel in your heart the Oneness of Eternity.” \



Padmā

 There is a moment in time when you become conscious of Consciousness. In that instant, eternity is revealed as here all along. You are in a body that will die in time, but who you are is not in the field of time. Conscious Awareness has no birth or death.

You can have this direct experience of Eternal Presence and allow the Open Secrets of the Universe to unfold at your feet. The Grace of 'All Love' forgives everything, and the Wisdom aspect of Consciousness becomes at your service.

Other phenomena may also be experienced, including states of bliss and the compelling rise of compassion.

You have never been separate from this Truth of Being, no matter how hard you've tried. Sudden awakenings happen to anyone, anywhere, and at any time… This lifetime or thousands of lifetimes from now.

Silence - stillness - not knowing is where I point.


James Broughton

 


Morgan O. Smith

 “In the symphony of existence, where every atom and star is a note, I realized that I am both the silent witness and the resonant sound, embodying the profound oneness of all that was, is, and will be.”


Osho

 A real dropout is one who has dropped out from within. On the surface he goes on moving, lives in the society because there is nowhere else to go - but deep down he has moved. He closes his eyes and he is no more a part of the society.

When he comes home, he forgets the factory, the market, the office - everything. The society remains an outer thing; he doesn't allow it to enter inwards.
