A quiet mind is all you need. All else will happen rightly, once your mind is quiet. As the sun on rising makes the world active, so does self-awareness affect changes in the mind. In the light of calm and steady self-awareness, inner energies wake up and work miracles without any effort on your part.
― Nisargadatta Maharaj
In the great mirror of consciousness, images arise and disappear and only memory gives them continuity. And memory is material -destructible, perishable, transient. On such flimsy foundations we build a sense of personal existence - vague, intermittent, dreamlike. This vague persuasion, “I am so-and-so,” obscures the changeless state of pure awareness and makes us believe that we are born to suffer and to die.
― Nisargadatta Maharaj

When by the flood of your tears
the inner and the outer have fused into one,
you will find Her whom you
sought with such anguish,
nearer than the nearest,
the very breath of life,
the very core of every heart.
~ Anandamayi Ma
So ....lost for words
Frederick Septimus Kelly (1881-1916) - It is not dawn till you awake
Tenor - Andrew Goodwin
Piano - Alan Hicks
It is not dawn till you awake And shew your radiant eyes: It is not day, though day may break, Till sunlike you arise.
In vain the lark shall pierce the sky To find the heav'n of blue. There is no blue but in your eye, There is no heav'n but you.
It is not dusk while yet you keep Those eyelids open wide: It is not night till you're asleep, Then sleeps all else beside.
Save one dim distant unloved star That sighs the lightlong through, There is no light where you are far, There is no love but you!
Always the solution is to go to the source—Spirit—and realise it is only the mind that has unknowingly accepted the collective belief in good versus bad, and that that is the cause of the appearing problem. The solution? Still the mind and let Spirit permeate individual consciousness. Let Spirit dissolve the erroneous “filters” of belief to reveal the omnipresent harmony, joy and fulfilment that Is.
—Paul F. Gorman, 'The Miracle Self'
to fall in love with God is to be the fish that falls in love with water; the bird that falls in love with air; the tree that falls in love with earth
Sergei Rachmaninoff _ Piano Concerto No. 3 in D Minor, Op. 30: I. Allegro Ma Non Tanto
He knows what is best and when and how to do it.
Leave everything entirely to Him.
-Ramana Maharishi
Composer: Hildegard von Bingen (1098 - 1179)
Work: O ignis Spiritus Paracliti from Symphonia armonie celestium revelationum (around 1150)
Performer: Anonymous 4
God is everywhere, He pervades everything.
He, whom you think you have sought in vain for so many years, is not apart from you. Just as a man cannot be without bones, blood, flesh and skin, so the One is present everywhere, at all times, interwoven with everything that exists.
God is one's very own Self, the breath of one's breath, the life of one's life, the Atma. Not until his true Self has been revealed to him may a seeker ever relax his search.
By seeking, one will find the Self is within one's own grasp. To feel fatigued, exhausted, because one has not found Him is a very good sign indeed.
It indicates that one is nearing the purification of one's heart and mind.
- Words of Ma Anandamayi:
Short Communications 4.
“Make your interests gradually wider and more impersonal, until bit by bit the walls of the ego recede, and your life becomes increasingly merged in the universal life. An individual human existence should be like a river — small at first, narrowly contained within its banks, and rushing passionately past rocks and over waterfalls. Gradually the river grows wider, the banks recede, the waters flow more quietly, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being”
— Bertrand Russell
Yes, even when I don't believe — there is a place in me inaccessible to unbelief, a patch of wild grace, a stubborn preserve, impenetrable, pain untouched by the sleeping body, music that builds its nest in silence
Anna Kamieńska, Astonishments: Selected Poems
Often in the deepest darkness of experience, illumination arises, changing the whole aspect and environment. The soul at once recognizes that only through this period of apparent degradation and ignorance, can it evolve. Make the most, and the best of every experience, you will thank God for them all. Do not weep with those who weep, but help them by a mighty love, pure as a mother’s, for the love of a mother is the unselfishness of God.
Learn to become unselfed.
— Christ in You (Anonymous)
The Absolute is above and beyond the conception of finite mind, yet infinitely meek and lowly, filling all space. As you emerge into this all pervading love, the true life becomes manifest and is always the answer to the deepest and highest aspirations of the soul. It is love fulfilling itself. Thank God for NOW. Learn first and thoroughly that you have been, and will be, forever. Your present condition is an opportunity for spiritual advancement. Make the most and the best of your life NOW.
—Christ in You (Anonymous)
Our awareness is overwhelmed by hundreds of different thoughts, feelings, and sensations. Some we latch onto because they’re attractive fantasies or scary preoccupations; some we try to shove away because they’re too upsetting or because they distract us from whatever we’re trying to accomplish at the moment. Instead of focusing on some of them and pushing away others, though, just look at them as feathers flying in the wind.”
—Tsoknyi Rinpoche
It's only by opening ourselves to this immense silence, the unspoken, the unknown, that we actually can really wake up and see things as they are, because that's all enlightenment is.
~ Adyashanti
Meditate ‘I am the Self’. If you do this, the idea that you are the body will go. ‘I am the Self’ is still an idea, and as such, it belongs in maya, along with all other ideas. But you can begin to conquer maya by giving up utterly wrong ideas that bind you and cause you trouble. How to do this? Replace them with ideas that are a better reflection of the truth, and which are helpful in leading you towards that truth.
—Sri Annamalain Swami
