John Wheeler, Awakening to the Natural State

 

"Everything arises and sets in the light of your being. Nothing is separate from that. Forms appear and disappear, but nothing is ever lost or gained. Everything that appears arises from that, exists upon that, and subsides into that. In spite of the appearance and disappearance of people and things, there is a luminous, ever-present background that sheds a fragrance of perfection that permeates everything. That is your birthplace, your true home."

Max Planck

 Science cannot solve the ultimate mystery of nature. And that is because, in the last analysis, we ourselves are part of nature and therefore part of the mystery that we are trying to solve.

Mooji

Don’t be a storehouse of memories.

Leave past, future and even present thoughts aside.

Be a witness to the life unfolding by itself.

Be free of all attachments, fears and concerns

by keeping your mind inside your own heart.

Rest in being.

Like this, life is always fresh and imbued

with pure joy and timeless presence.

Be happy, wise and free. What’s the other choice?

Hermann Hesse

 This day will never come again and anyone who fails to eat and drink and taste and smell it will never have it offered to him again in all eternity. The sun will never shine as it does today...But you must play your part and sing a song, one of your best.

SWAMI VEETAMOHANANDA’S Pearl of the Day

Human excellence depends on the growth of the human spirit, a rich quality of life. Courage and conviction in the heart are the true signs of human excellence. The fusion of the energy of manliness with spiritual energy has a tremendous power of impact on the world situation. Peace, happiness and a sense of fulfilment comes from the fusion of the material forces with spiritual forces.

Avadhuta Gita

i-54. My mind, my friend, many words are not needed, and the world hardly comprehends reason. In a word, I have told you the essence of truth: “You are Truth, you are as space”

Meister Eckhart

There is no need to look for God here or there. He is no farther away than the door of your own heart. --

J krishnamurti

Ignorance does not transform itself into wisdom through the process of time, through the inspiration of a goal. It must be dissolved in the ever-present.

Kabir Book of Prayers

The soul finds drops of nectar flowing.

It longs to see God and,

on being in His presence,

it bathes in the river of tranquility. -

Adi Shankaracharya

The fool thinks, "I am the body"; the intelligent man thinks, "I am an individual soul united with the body." But the wise man, in the greatness of his knowledge and spiritual discrimination, sees the Self as the only reality and thinks, "I am Brahman."
