One thing: you have to walk, and create the way by your walking; you will not find a ready-made path. It is not so cheap, to reach to the ultimate realization of truth. You will have to create the path by walking yourself; the path is not ready-made, lying there and waiting for you. It is just like the sky: the birds fly, but they don't leave any footprints. You cannot follow them; there are no footprints left behind. Osho

I do not hail myself as an atheist, for I am not an atheist. In fact, I have met God, felt God and even lived in God, same as the prophets of human history. But mark you, humanism cannot be compromised because of some doctrines presented as God’s command. In the domain of transcendence, all commands received by the mind, are created by the mind itself. They manifest as divine revelations, but in reality, they are revelations rising from the mind itself. And as such, they have potential to be both good and evil. Abhijit Naskar

It is only through silent awareness that our physical and mental nature can change. This change is completely spontaneous. If we make an effort to change we do no more than shift our attention from one level, from one thing, to another. We remain in a vicious circle. This only transfers energy from one point to another. It still leaves us oscillating between suffering and pleasure, each leading inevitably back to the other. Only living stillness, stillness without someone trying to be still, is capable of undoing the conditioning our biologoical, emotional and psychological nature has undergone. There is no controller, no selector, no personality making choices. In choiceless living the situation is given the freedom to unfold. You do not grasp one aspect over another for there is nobody to grasp. When you understand something and live it without being stuck to the formulation, what you have understood dissolves in your openness. In this silence change takes place of its own accord, the problem is resolved and duality ends. You are left in your glory where no one has understood and nothing has been understood. . Jean Klein

15

A Strange Prayer:Dear Lord, I, the self searching illusion, has seen and experienced the outer world:relationships, success and failure, true friends, strangers and backbiters. I lived the different emotionsduring different seasons; I witnessed ups & downs, enjoyed love & hate, was good & bad, faced beauty & ugliness. There were times when I was brave, there were times when I was a coward. There were times when I was proactive, there were times when I was indecisive. After, flying high in the skies, and yet being a loser.. After, being nothing & no one, and yet feeling content. I have understood the differencebetween lust and love, happiness and sadness, selfishness and selflessness. One often leads to another;another secretly carries the one! Yet I am lostbetween being and becoming. An inner voice admits thatmy heart is an unexplored realm, my mind is a prisoner to my wishful thinking, and the soul is unknown to me. Setting that unknown free.. now, this is my heartiest wish. As Saurabh Sharma, the human being, Ialwayspray to thee, " O lord, set me free. I don't want love, I don't want to be loved; I want myself to be love itself now. That beautiful, silent and divine existence..! I want to get merged into that. Please give me wisdom and courage; Merge me into your supreme kingdom by setting my soul free. Saurabh Sharma

The path of awakening" All of your past selves are walking behind you, like a shadow, waiting for you to awaken fully. Waiting for you to return home. To the Oneness. To love, wisdom, silence and compassion. The child you once were is still with you. It is waiting to receive the unconditional love and acceptance which it has always wanted which will finally heal it, calm itand enable it to relax and surrender into the vastness of your Being.Into the light of consciousness. And it is not just the child who is walking behind you. All the identities from past incarnations are still with you. The seeker. The pirate. The highwayman. The sage.. Unknown

Meanwhile, the self can stand in the way of the Not-Self, interfering with the free flow of spiritual grace, this maintaining the self in a state of blindness, and also with the flow of animal grace, which leads to the impairment of natural functions and, in the long run, of the slower processes called structure. For each individual human being, the main practical problems are these: How can I prevent my ego from eclipsing the inner light, synteresis, scintilla animae, and so perpetuating the state of unregenerate illusion and blindness? And these practical problems remain unchallenged, even if we abandon the notion of an entelechy or physiological intelligencer, of an atman or pneuma and think, instead, in terms [of] systems.. Aldous Huxley

Have you ever seen a stereogram? The 'Truth' the Stereogram shows us is there in front of us. Training and work doesn't make us see it. It's a point of view, a different way of looking at it. When you see it you try to explain it to someone else and yourealize you can't. It simple, super simple, yet almost impossible to explain. There are 'techniques' to see them but some people may spendyears trying without results. Others can do it in seconds. It doesn't change the fact that the image is there all the time infront of us. And it's Beautiful. Unknown
