Nisargadatta Maharaj

You must begin with yourself – this is the inexorable law. The world is a reflection of yourself; stop finding fault with the reflection and attend to yourself. Political, economic and social reforms may be all good and well, but the real issue is not with reforms but with the reformer. What kind of world can a man create who is stupid, greedy, heartless? 

Tilopa

“Stop all physical activity and sit naturally at ease. Remain silent and let sound be like an echo. Do not think about anything. Look at experience beyond thought, open minded like space. Let go of control and stop and rest at ease in that state. Awareness without projection is the greatest meditation. Train and develop like this and you will come to the deepest awakening.”

LOVE in World Religions

Christinanity: “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not, knoweth not God, for God is Love.”

    Confucianism: “To love all men is the greatest benevolence.”

    Buddhism: “Let a man cultivate towards the whole world a heart of Love.

    Hinduism: “One can best worship the Lord through Love.”

    Islam: “Love is this, that thou shouldst account thyself very little and God very great.”

    Taoism: “Heaven arms with Love those it would not see destroyed.”

    Sikhism: “God will regenerate those in whose hearts there is Love.”

    Judaism: “Thou shalt Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and thy neighbour as thyself.”

    Jainism: “The days are of most profit to him who acts in Love.”

    Zoroastrianism: “Man is the beloved of the Lord and should Love him in return.”

    Baha’i: “Love Me that I may love thee. If though lovest Me not, My love can no wise reach thee.”

    Shinto: “Love is the representative of the Lord.”

Hinduism

Hinduism is predicated on the idea that the eternal wisdom of the ages and of divinity cannot be confined to a single sacred book. While others might look to the heavens to find God, the Hindu looks within himself. There is no Hindu pope, no Hindu Vatican, no Hindu catechism, not even a Hindu Sunday. Hinduism does not oblige the adherent to demonstrate his faith by any visible sign. Instead Hinduism offers a smorgasbord of options to the worshiper: of divinities to adore and to pray to, of rituals to observe, of customs and practices to honor, of fasts to keep. Hinduism allows believers to stretch their imaginations to personal notions of the creative Godhead.

This is Kundalini Shakti. This is where the Trinity – Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwar merge

Kundalini is Shakti, She is the Supreme Being, She is your Divine Mother, She is your Guru, She is Beautiful, She is Powerful, She is Everything, She is beyond everything, There is nothing beyond her in this entire Universe. She knows everything about you. She knows your past, present and future. She knows where you came from and she knows your ultimate destination (The Bliss). Most important - She knows the SHORTEST route to the ultimate destination of your journey (which no other Yoga does).

If you give her your hand, she WILL carry you to the ultimate destination which you don’t know but she does (The Bliss). Kundalini will take you on a wonderful journey or sometimes she will take you through jungles, sometimes she will just be sleeping and sometimes she will be mad (angry) at you. Sometimes the journey will be beautiful and sometime it will be scary.

Kundalini will work actively within you during the period of meditation and she will rarely interfere in your material life, but if she does she will give bigger rewards (material) for her interference in the material life (that may have been necessitated for the spiritual progress at that point of time.)

Whether you accept her existence or not, she WILL always be with you to guide you in the right direction (as long as you continue daily spiritual practice). Rest Assured: She WILL take you to the Bliss by the shortest possible route. Because this universal mother (kundalini) knows the entire road map and what works best for you.

Mukti

No fear of death,no terror of time, no chains,no space, no mind....Atman/Ego recalls its pristine state...cosmic fluid that molds to gross sky flowing gracefully all over, oceans of existence all flow in him, he is untouched by Maya who too is recalled into his essence. Whole energy spectrum is absorbed..Who can describe that state oh dear when you spread all over as the truth pervading and permeating billions of brahmandas. Yes, you come down to ferry your empty boat flowing in u, you materialize ,you sleep, you work, you dance as others as the prabadha continues. But, the death is nailed, all samsara over for ever, all nectar, all eternal, all love...Mukti

Your journey towards the Divine

Birth after birth, life after life, the deer continues his bondage. There comes a day when deer starts thinking - Why am I bound by snake? Can I be free? What should I do so that I am free? Can I enjoy the bliss? He turns into a seeker. His searching mind opens a divine door for him. Your journey toward the Bliss (God) starts when you realize the bondage. The journey continues as you seek the freedom. It progresses when you start looking at enjoyment provided by sense organs as a poison and nothing but poison. As you travel the path towards the Divine the grip of the snake around you starts loosening. The more you practice spirituality, the more you develop dis-passion (Vairagya or reduction in desires and attachments) As the dis-passion develops you start enjoying the bliss. Divine doors of knowledge start opening before you one by one. It is always a long and painful journey...The divine is always with you as you travel towards him. There will be difficult times and there will be help too. You may fall many a times because you are trying to go back to the origin against the current and the journey against the current is never easy. One step at a time and you will still progress. As you move up the ladder of Divinity the snake leaves you completely...because it dosen't have anything it can tie around itself. Passions of your mind have reduced substantially. So far you were seeking the God. Now, God is seeking you! The Divine YOU: Here is an image of the Divine You. A deer without fear. A deer that is contented with itself and waiting for the Divine. Away from the heard, his eyes are fixed on the goal and he is peaceful. There is no fear in his eyes because he knows he is protected by the divine grace. The snakes of passion, attachment and emotions have left him long time back. The snake cannot catch him because he has developed Vairagya (non­-attachment) with the help of Viveka (discrimination & wisdom). His passions have gone down substantially. He still has a long wait before he attains the ultimate bliss. But he has attained freedom from the snake and he continues to enjoy the freedom as he awaits the Bliss Mahendra Joshi .   Lord Vishnu - a state of Bliss beyond the cycle of birth and death

Mooji

“There is a presence, a silence, a stillness which is here by itself. There is no doer of it, no creator of this stillness. It is simply here in you, with you. It is the fragrance of your own self. There is nothing to do about this, it is naturally present. This fragrance of peace, this spaciousness, it is the fragrance of your own being.”
