Self

"That alone is Real which exists by itself, which reveals itself by itself and which is eternal and unchanging."  (MG, II.III)

"Of yourself you can say ‘I exist’. That is, yours is not mere existence, it is Existence of which you are conscious. Really, it is Existence identical with Consciousness." (MG, II.III)

"Consciousness is always Self-consciousness." (MG, II.III)

(Bhagavan quotes from 'Maharshi's Gospel': Bk. II, Ch. III)

Life

Remember, life goes on providing.

The child is born; before the child is born the mother’s breasts are swelling with milk.

The child is yet only on the way, the child is not born yet, but the breasts are getting ready.

Before the hunger of the child, the food is ready.

If you look deeply into life you will find it happening everywhere: Life provides.

And once you know it, great trust arises in life.

That trust is religious.
Trust does not mean believing in a book, in a certain ideology.

Trust means SEEING that life provides, FEELING that life cares, that it is not against you, that it is all for you, that it is not indifferent to you, that it loves you, that it protects you, that you need not be worried, too worried about security.

Life is your security.

Quotes

“It is not true that birth as a man (human) is necessarily the highest, and that one must attain realisation only from being a man (human). Even an animal can attain Self-realisation.”

(Bhagavan in 'Day by Day with Bhagavan' 2-9-46)

Buddha

“The Buddha is not going to project you to Buddhahood, as if throwing a stone. He is not going to purify you, as if washing a dirty cloth, nor is he going to cure you of ignorance, like a doctor administering medicine to a passive patient.

Having attained full enlightenment himself, he is showing you the path, and it is up to you to follow it or not. It is up to you now to practise these teachings and experience their results.”

~ H.H. Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
