You are never alone. You are eternally connected with everyone.Amit Ray

The Self, when finite, is Human and when infinite, is God.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

A free spirit is not bound by this, that, matter, materialism or opinion. They sing, dance and flow on the wind - for they are at one with it. They are nothing and everything - void and expanse. Even space and time does not confine or define them. For they are pure energy itself.Rasheed Ogunlaru

...all that we do is governed by the law of opposites in which every so-called positive act is exactly and equally balanced by its opposite.Tony Parsons

No Soul is identical — yet all Souls are unified.J.M. Harrison

Relationships only work in a spiritual sense when you and I really see that we are one.Ram Dass

We are one at the root - we just part at the branchRasheed Ogunlaru

You do not need to go to any temple or church to worship God. The whole existence is God’s temple. Your own body is the temple of God. Your own heart is the shrine. You do not need to subscribe to any religion to experience God. The only religion you need to experience God is love, kindness and respect to all beings.Banani Ray
10
You do not need any preacher or prophet to learn about God. The teaching is spread on the trees and the mountains, on the stars and the river, on the Sun and the moon. The ultimate teaching is written in your heart. You just need to wake up and see.Banani Ray

Mind makes a man of God.Emmanuel Diogu

If you can remain aware of your awareness, that is the present state of mind.Roshan Sharma
13
Om is the things, Om is the ingredient, Om is the container and the content of this universe.Banani Ray
14
Om is that God of love. Like a loving mother Om cleans us of our clutters collected through many incarnations.Banani Ray

Life is a series of events and sensations. Everything else is interpretation. Much is lost in translation and added in assumption / projectionRasheed Ogunlaru

Of course the thinking mind must sooner or later be controlled, developed, and supplied with the force of will for a break-through to non-thinking, a direct experience of non-duality. But at what stage?Christmas Humphreys
17
What is constant? Is the mind anything more than a conglomeration of thoughts? Where is the mind apart from thought? If there is no thought, can there be a mind? They cancel each other out, do they not?Enza Vita

I am Not, but the Universe is my Self.Shihtou
19
If I want to understand an individual human being, I must lay aside all scientific knowledge of the average man and discard all theories in order to adopt a completely new and unprejudiced attitude. I can only approach the task of understanding with a free and open mind, whereas knowledge of man, or insight into human character, presupposes all sorts of knowledge about mankind in general.C.g. Jung

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

You are what resides before, beyond and between what you think so do not be consumed by thought. It is only a fragment of your magic.Rasheed Ogunlaru
22
True freedom is when all the stories, all the insights, all the realizations, concepts, beliefs and positions dissolve. What remains is what you are; a vast, conscious, luminous space simply resting in itself, not knowing a thing, at the point where all things are possible.Enza Vita
23
When you are truly awakened, you have completely stopped trying to become awakened. You simply are. You know that you did not locate awakening; awakening located you.Enza Vita
24
All paths are valid, but in the end you will find that the realization of the ultimate truth is a pathless path.Enza Vita
25
Being enlightened ironically means realizing that there is no separate entity that can be enlightened or unenlightened.Enza Vita
26
Realization includes everything, the mundane and the transcendental. In true awakening, nothing stands apart and nothing is excluded. If we find ourselves in a state where something is excluded, that state, however amazing it is, is still a dualistic state.Enza Vita
27
You aren’t actually a someone, a person, who is conscious. You are the awake space of awareness itself, within which all the “thought up” entities in your world appear. Out of all these imagined entities, you have simply made the mistake of thinking that one of them is you.Enza Vita
28
Realization is not about you, the wave, realizing it is ocean. The ocean realizes itself in you and reveals itself to have never been just a wave. Nothing changes except the falling away of a false belief.Enza Vita
29
Looking forward” to what you think enlightenment might be at some grand point in the future keeps you from seeing the truth of its presence right now.Enza Vita
30
Awareness is that which is reading these words right now, whatever “that” is. You know without a doubt that there is something reading these words right now and awareness is precisely what that is.Enza Vita
31
Not knowing anything, not searching for anything, understanding that we can’t hold on to anything, leaves us with nothing – nothing except our original nature, pure awareness.Enza Vita
32
The one who believes himself to be a person needs to try to find that person. This is a solution, an antidote, offered to a ghost that thinks it actually exists.Enza Vita
33
The One that experiences itself as your body-mind is the same One that experiences itself in every other body-mind, form, or appearance that exists.Enza Vita
34
Just knowing that there is no gate to pass through doesn’t mean that we are at the end of the search, not if we are still standing outside that gateless gate.Enza Vita
35
At the moment of enlightenment, everything is dropped–body, mind, all states, all things–everything. At that moment, there is no separate entity that can become enlightened, because there is no I that can experience it.Enza Vita
36
Nothing can be the total truth in the worlds of manifestation and the more solid your concepts, the more likely they are going to sink you, sooner or later.Enza Vita
37
Anything that appears and disappears cannot actually be you because it is being observed by you. By removing the attention from these things and noticing what remains, you are left only with what is permanent – the truth of who you are.Enza Vita
38
Even amazing states of bliss, peace, clarity and spaciousness have nothing to do with awakening as these are just experiences coming and going in the impersonal awareness that you are.Enza Vita
39
In enlightenment, the seer and the seen disappear. Or, more accurately, are seen through as illusions. In reality, they were never there, apart from being concept and misunderstanding.Enza Vita

Om is the presence which steals away. It steals away the ordinary mundane existence of strife, struggle and duality; it steals away anxiety, aggression, fear, grief and sorrow; it steals away the debris of anger, hatred, confusion and ignorance, to fill us with the nectar of joy, immortality and life eternal.Banani Ray

I am a lonely figure when I run the roads. People wonder how far I have come, how far I have to go. They see me alone and friendless on a journey that has no visible beginning or end. I appear isolated and vulnerable, a homeless creature. It is all they can do to keep from stopping the car and asking if they can take me wherever I'm going. I know this because I feel it myself. When I see the runner I have much the same thoughts. No matter how often I run the roads myself, I am struck by how solitary my fellow runner appears. The sight of a runner at dusk or in inclement weather makes me glad to be safe and warm in my car and headed for home. And at those times, I wonder how I can go out there myself, how I can leave the comfort and warmth and that feeling of intimacy and belonging, to do this distracted thing. But when finally I am there, I realise it is not comfort and warmth I am leaving, not intimacy and belonging I am giving up, but the loneliness that pursues me this day and every day. I know that the real loneliness, the real isolation, the real vulnerability, begins long before I put on my running shoes.George Sheehan

Meditation brings Nirvana, and Nirvana brings Buddhahood.Abhijit Naskar
44
Om is the signature sound of this Universe. It is the soundless sound of existence.Banani Ray
45
Om was there in the existence, when no religion was formed or founded. It will be there in the existence, if all the religions are demolished.Banani Ray
46
Maybe that is the purest and most radical kind of religion — simple attention. Present-moment awareness. Instead of a belief system, awareness sees through all beliefs.Joan Tollifson

The runner is coming to know, or will know if he runs enough...that the universe is the smallest divisible unit.George Sheehan
