 By an attention full of love,

we enable the Inner Light to blaze and illuminate our dwelling and to make of our whole being a source from which this Light may shine out.

Kabir

 “I laugh when I hear that the fish in the water is thirsty. I laugh when I hear that people go on pilgrimage to find God.”



Ramesh Balsekar

 Just as one's dream in sleep, exists nowhere but in the mind (both as cause and effect), so does the universe exist, only in the mind of infinite Consciousness.


A quote on God in the Mundaka Upanishad

 The eye cannot see it; the mind cannot grasp it. The deathless Self (the Supreme Soul or God) has neither caste nor race, Neither eyes, nor ears, nor hands, nor feet, Sages, this Self is infinite, present in the great and in the small, Everlasting and changeless, the source of life

Maitreya Upanishad


That which is the eternal, the pure, the ever vigilant, free from the nature (of delusions), the true, the subtle, the supremely powerful, the one without a second, the ocean of bliss and transcendent, that I am, the innermost essence (of all); there is no doubt about it.



Alan Watts

 “In my philosophy, there’s no difference between the physical and the spiritual. It’s all one process, one pattern. Life is pattern. It is a dance of energy.”


Ramana Maharshi

 


 When Jesus worked his miracles and spoke his wonderful words, he was utterly unconscious of being a separate, finite personality. He was pure light, pure life, cause and effect working in perfect concert. “The Father and I are one.” He had given up all ideas of “I” and ‘mine.“ Can the body possess anything? Can the mind possess anything? Both of them are lifeless, unless the light of God shines through.


Mooji

 When thoughts and words are left aside, something far greater is revealed."



Isa Upanishad

 All is perfect, so perfectly perfect! Whatever being lives, moves and breathes on earth, at every level from atom to galaxy, is absolutely perfect in its place. Precise and choreographed. Because ‘That’ flows from the Glory of God, The Lord, Consciousness, The Source, Awareness, Peace and Love, and is therefore perfect. When you have surrendered your ego To 'That’ you will find true happiness.

                                                         


Sama Veda, Chandogya Upanishad

 The Self resides within the lotus of the heart. Knowing this, consecrated to the Self, the sage enters daily that holy sanctuary. Absorbed in the Self, the sage is freed from identity with the body and lives in blissful consciousness.
