“Undisturbed calmness of mind is attained by cultivating friendliness toward the happy, compassion for the unhappy, delight in the virtuous, and indifference toward the wicked.”. near them, waiting.”. “Yoga is the cessation of the movements of the mind.

Tsoknyi Rinpoche

 

Illusion immediately becomes more workable when we acknowledge it as simply an illusion. The Western habit is to work against the grain and to try and organize the illusory into something solid and structured  In the stressful attempt to nail down the illusory nature of things, our chance to be at ease, spacious, awake, and free, which already exists within ourselves, gets lost.

MUKTANANDA

 i AM THE SELF, I AM Consciousness." The fruit of thought is very great What you attain in the end is what you think about all the time. So think, "I am the Self, I am Consciousness. I am beautiful." The Self is complete and pure and perfect. Whatever you do, wherever you go, sit calmly and contemplate the fact that your are the Self

Meditation is the dissolutionof thought in Eternal awareness of Pure consciousness without objectification, knowing without thinking, merging finitude in infinity 

Ramana Maharshi

 

That inner Self, as the primeval Spirit,Eternal, ever effulgent, full and infinite Bliss,Single, indivisible, whole and living,Shines in everyone as the witnessing awareness.That self in its splendour, shining in the cavity of the heartThis self is neither born nor dies,Neither grows nor decays,Nor does it suffer any change.When a pot is broken, the space within it is not,And similarly, when the body dies the Self in it remains eternal.”

Amma Karunamayi

 

Our true nature is not limited ..it is like the vast ocean. When we touch Supreme Consciousness through meditation, then we are boundless, we are everywhere, we are eternal.

Nature of the Divine

God cannot be identified with one Name and one Form. He is all Names and all Forms. All Names are His; all Forms are His. Your Names too are His, you are His Forms. You appear as separate individual bodies because the eye that sees them seeks only bodies, the outer encasements. When you clarify your Vision and look at them through the Atmic eye, the eye that penetrates behind the physical (with all its attributes and appurtenances), then you will see others as Waves on the Ocean of the Absolute, as the "thousand heads, the thousand eyes, thousand feet of the Supreme Soverign person or 'Purusha' sung in the Rgveda. Strive to win that Vision and to saturate yourself with that Bliss.

LAO TZU

 

I have just three things to teach:simplicity, patience, compassion.These three are your greatest treasures.Simple in actions and in thoughts,you return to the source of being.Patient with both friends and enemies,you accord with the way things are.Compassionate toward yourself,you reconcile all beings in the world.

Swami Muktananda

 

Now I know fully that my own Soul is pervading everywhere as the universe. In fact, the cosmos does not exist; it never existed. For what we regard as the universe is only a conscious play of Chitshakti (the intelligent, conscious, Divine Energy that masquerades as the universe).
