This being human is a guest house. Every morning, a new arrival. #Rumi

The truth is, you are caught between two worlds: the world of time and the world of the timeless. Until you know how to navigate between these two, you are like a boat without a rudder. #Rumi

The truth was a mirror in the hands of God: It fell, and broke into pieces. Everybody took a piece of it, and they looked at it and thought they had the truth. #Rumi

You Are The Light Of My Heart, You Give Peace And Comfort To My Soul. #Rumi

.....My heart, sing the song of longing like a nightingale. The sound of your voice casts a spell on every stone, on every thorn. First, lay down your head, then one by one let go of all distractions. Embrace the Light and let it guide you, beyond the winds of desire. There, you will find a spring and nourished by its see waters like a tree you will bear fruit forever." #Rumi

"Tell your mind: You can go as depressed as you want to be." I'll just watch you, not join you! " #mooji

When you're in deep sleep, the l returns to the heart, to the source. There is nothing going on, nothing happening. At that time you are unconsciously self-realized. #RobertAdams

BHAGAVAN IS EVERYWHERE ========================== Someone asked Bhagavan to bless them upon their departure knowing that possibly they might never get the chance to be at Ramanasramam again: “M.: You do not go anywhere away from the Presence as you imagine. The Presence is everywhere. The body moves from place to place; yet it does not leave the one Presence. So no one can be out of sight of the Supreme Presence. Since you identify one body with Bhagavan and another body with yourself, you find two separate entities and speak of going away from here. Wherever you may be, you cannot leave ME. “To illustrate it: The pictures move on the screen in a cinema show; but does the screen itself move? No. The Presence is the screen: you, I, and others are the pictures. The individuals may move but not the Self.”* So when we say Bhagavan is everywhere what do we really mean? Bhagavan is telling us that our goal is here and now but we keep identifying with the pictures and not the screen on which it happens. Bhagavan does nothing. How can he when he is not identified with or controlled by a body? This may sound strange because the power of Grace which we ascribe to ‘him’ works wonders but it is true. It is ‘automatic divine action’ which happens because we are receptive. For a moment we are in tune with this stillness and are not identified with any thought or feeling. There is no sense of opposition or separateness. There is no desire, no fear. This simple step is the beginning. We slowly come to understand that Bhagavan is not bound by time or space nor our concepts as to who ‘he’ is. Once that indelible revelation is given to us through an unmistakable encounter at the Samadhi, or a dream, or an instant of recognition when we see his photograph or a sentence in his teachings, we are joined to his Name. We begin to realise that Bhagavan is everywhere and wherever any of us gather in his Name he is there; wherever any one of us prays to him, he is there; wherever any one contemplates him, he is there. For each one of us, we only need to remember him any time and in any place, he is always there. We may not always be aware of Bhagavan but Bhagavan is certainly aware of us. * Venkataramiah, M., (comp.), Talks with #SriRamanaMaharshi

Let us cherish that Self, which is the reality, in the Heart. #SriRamanaMaharshi

The body is insentient and cannot say I. The Self is pure consciousness and non-dual. It cannot say I. No one says I in sleep. What is the ego then? It is something intermediate between the inert body and the Self. It has no locus standi. If sought for it vanishes like a ghost. #SriRamanaMaharshi
