As you as you are clear about this, mind begins to merge with you as the single Being. – Mooji

May 1, 2022

“You know, other people are the path.” - Thich Nhat Hanh responding to a student who was dealing with a difficult person. All present conditions, situations and relationships, especially the difficult ones, are the very Path of Enlightenment. These are necessary elements to help us learn the required lessons (blessings) to dissolve our mental filters (vasanas) and allow our brilliant light to shine (Self) eternally. Unless we can deeply perceive and tolerate the vasanas of seemingly other people, these human expressions will continually cross our path. The Divine Universe has devised plans and ploys for our path far wiser than our finite mind’s wishes and desires. – Pat Croce

Apr 22, 2022

Thought subsides when you pet your dog or you have a purring cat on your chest. Even just watching an animal can take you out of your mind.

Apr 21, 2022

Be who you really are and go the whole way. – Lao Tzu

Apr 15, 2022

Your body is away from me, but there is a window open from my heart to yours. – Rumi

Apr 14, 2022

This is the spirit which our present day world needs more than anything else: to see that what is truly important in life is what is frivolous. To see that it doesn’t matter two hoots that we achieve a certain success, that we win a certain game, that we live longer than we might live otherwise. – Alan Watts

Apr 13, 2022

When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you and you feel joy. – Rumi

Apr 4, 2022

Protect yourself from your own thoughts! – Rumi

Apr 3, 2022

Through mindless living, we dissipate our energy and squander our lives. Through mindful living, we inhabit fully the present moment and connect more totally with whomever we are with and with whatever we are doing. Then the smallest act becomes unimaginably blessed. – Lama Surya Das

Apr 2, 2022

We think we can solve problems with violence. We think that killing people is an answer to a problem. It’s only temporary. Because if you knock out, say, a Hitler, another one comes up. Because you haven’t understood the problem of this sort of manifestation. Anything that’s destroyed with violence eventually recurs again. – Alan Watts

Apr 1, 2022

A teacher is found wherever you are when you’re ready for that teacher. – Ram Dass

Mar 31, 2022

Mar 27, 2022

If you just try to keep quiet, all will come—the work, the strength for work, the right motive. Must you know everything beforehand?

Mar 26, 2022

The thing that is supposed to transpire during meditation is the one thing that is transpiring all the time. That is, the presence of your being. - Rupert Spira

The journey is the pathless path from our self to our self, from the happiness we seek to the happiness we are. - Rupert Spira

Mar 21, 2022

When we honor life but don’t make it a big deal, we lighten up, open up, and become more joyous. The fancy name for that is enlightenment.

Mar 20, 2022

I am not my thoughts, emotions, sense perceptions, and experiences. I am not the content of my life. I am Life. I am the space in which all things happen. I am consciousness. I am the Now. I Am. - Eckart Tolle

What you seek is seeking you. - Rumi

If you feel a sense of social responsibility, first of all keep working on yourself. Being peaceful yourself is the first step if you want to live in a peaceful universe. - Ram Dass

Mar 16, 2022

One who conquers himself is greater than another who conquers a thousand times a thousand men on the battlefield. Be victorious over yourself and not over others. When you attain victory over yourself, not even the gods can turn it into defeat.

Mar 15, 2022

Though we die to this body when we take our last breath, we don’t die to our greater “body” of influence, extending through all those we have touched directly and indirectly, rippling out and out into who knows what farthest reaches of time & space. - Thich Nhat Hanh

There is a voice that doesn't use words. Listen. – Rumi

Mar 10, 2022

I am living in the eternally happy present. It is not a mundane happiness, which becomes boring after a while so that you welcome a little difficulty just for a change. The joy that has come upon me is a thousand million times more intoxicating—ever-changing, ever-new. In that consciousness you feel all the happiness in the world passing through you. – Paramahansa Yogananda

Mar 9, 2022

Consciousness has produced this play. Consciousness has written the script. Consciousness is playing all the characters. And Consciousness is witnessing the play. It’s a one-man show. – Ramesh Balsekar

From adversity we can learn the value of patience. – The 14th Dalai Lama

Mar 7, 2022

When I run after what I think I want,
My days are a furnace of distress and anxiety;
If I sit in my own place of patience,
What I need flows to me,
And without any pain.
From this I understand that
What I want also wants me,
Is looking for me
And attracting me;
When it cannot attract me
Any more to go to it,
It has to come to me.
There is a great secret
In this for anyone
Who can grasp it.
– Rumi

It's not what the mind says.
It's how seriously it is taken.
– Mooji

Mar 3, 2022

Remember, we are all affecting the world every moment, whether we mean to or not. Our actions and states of mind matter, because we’re so deeply interconnected with one another.

Mar 2, 2022

If you love a flower, don’t pick it up.
Because if you pick it up it dies and it ceases to be what you love.
So if you love a flower, let it be.
Love is not about possession.
Love is about appreciation.
- Osho

True compassion is not just an emotional response but a firm commitment founded on reason. Therefore, our compassion for others does not change even if they behave negatively. Our sense of responsibility gives rise to a wish to help others actively overcome their problems.

When you are a young person, you are like a young creek, and you meet many rocks, many obstacles and difficulties on your way. You hurry to get past these obstacles and get to the ocean.

But as the creek moves down through the fields, it becomes larges and calmer and it can enjoy the reflection of the sky. It's wonderful. You will arrive at the sea anyway so enjoy the journey. Enjoy the sunshine, the sunset, the moon, the birds, the trees, and the many beauties along the way. Taste every moment of your daily life. – Thich Nhat Hanh

I'm not telling you to make the world better, because I didn't think that progress in necessarily part of the package. I'm just telling you to live in it. Not just to endure it, not just to suffer it, not just to pass through it, but to live in it. To look at it. To try to get the picture. To live recklessly. To take chances. To make your own work and take pride in it. To seize the. moment. And if you ask m e why you should bother to do that, I could tell you that the grave's a fine and private place, but none I think do there embrace, Nor do they sing there, or write, or argue, or see the tidal bore on the Amazon, or touch their children. And that's what there is do do and get it while you can and good luck at it. – Joan Didion

Jan 10, 2022

Do not seek love, do not look for the light, but be it, offer it; the joy of loving another is infinitely greater than the joy of fearfully clinging to another’s love, for deep down you know it is only an illusion that what you have always longed for could ever have come from outside of you. You are the One; you have always been the One. The search ends exactly where it began-presence. – Jeff Foster

Dec 29, 2021

True giving is a thoroughly joyous thing to do. We experience happiness when we form the intention to give, in the actual act of giving, and in the recollection of the fact we have given.

Each of us needs what nature give us, when nature gives it. – Marcus Aurelius

Dec 22, 2021

Your body and the universe are a single field of energy, information, and consciousness. The body is your connection to the cosmic computer., which is organizing an infinity of events simultaneously.

Dec 21, 2021

There is no question of failure...It is like traveling a long an arduous road in an unknown country. Of all the innumerable step there is only the last that brings you to your destination. Yet you would not consider all the previous steps as failures. Each brought you nearer to your goal, even when you had to turn back and bypass an obstacle. In reality each step brings you closer to your goal because to be always on the move, learning, discovering, unfolding, is you r eternal destiny. Living is life's only purpose. ― Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Dec 20, 2021

What we seem to value most in modern society, –– status, wealth, achievement, and fame –– doesn't guarantee happiness. With more money, we can purchase more privacy, we can live on secluded estates, we can even travel exclusively on our own boat or plane...If we are not vigilant, such success can lead to a life that feels increasingly lonely as the distance between the individual and other people grows. Vivek Murthy

Dec 19, 2021

Whatever the question, love is the answer. – Wayne W. Dyer

Dec 18, 2021

Love is a verb. Love – the feeling – is a fruit of love the verb...Reactive people make it a feeling. If our feelings control our actions, it is because we have abdicated our responsibility and empowered them to do so. Proactive people make love a verb. Love is something you do, the sacrifices you make, the giving of self...Love is a value that is actualized through loving actions. Proactive people subordinate feelings for values. Love the feeling can be recaptured. – Stephen R. Covey

The voice of the river that has emptied into the Ocean
Now laughs and signs just like God. ― Hafiz

Dec 14, 2021

Unhappiness or negativity is a disease on our planet...People believe themselves dependent on what happens to them for their happiness. They don’t realize what happens is the most unstable thing in the universe… They look upon the present moment as either marred by something that has happened and shouldn’t have or as deficient because of something that has not happened that should have. And they miss the deeper perfection that is inherent in life itself, a perfection that is always already here, that lies beyond what is happening or not happening… ― Eckart Tolle

There is no greater illusion than fear,

Whoever can see through all fear
will always be safe.
― Tao te Ching

Dec 12, 2021

Few will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events. It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.
― Robert F. Kennedy

― Ramana Maharshi.

Dec 10, 2021

You imagine that without cause there can be no happiness. To me dependence on anything for happiness is utter misery. Pleasure and pain have causes, while my state is my own – totally uncaused, independent, unassailable. ― Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Dec 9, 2021

The source of all creation is pure consciousness...pure potentiality seeking expression from the unmanifest to the manifest. And when we realize that are true Self is one of pure potentiality, we align with the power of that manifests everything in the universe. ― Deepak Chopra

Dec 2, 2021

Unconditional love really exists in each of us. It is part of our deep inner being. It is not so much an active emotion as a state of being. It’s not ‘I love you’ for this or that reason, not ‘I love you if you love me.’ It’s love for no reason, love without an object. ― Ram Dass
