Suffering

When we argue with what was, the only person who is going to suffer is us. It doesn't matter why we're arguing. It doesn't matter how justified our resistance is. When we begin to look deeply at what our mind is doing, we'll see that our conclusions and justifications for our own suffering are what allow the suffering to continue.

~ Adyashanti
(from 'falling into Grace: insights on the end of suffering')

Osho

Life is very precious and the greatest treasure is hidden in it -- and that treasure is of becoming a witness.

Let body do what it likes

Let the body do what it likes. Thinking thus, I always abide in my own Self as the Perfect fountainhead of Bliss and pure uninterrupted consciousness. I am therefore in the state of perfection and remain unblemished.

~ 'Tripura Rahasya', chapter XVII (104-105)

Surrender

Surrender is a central theme in Bhagavan's teachings. It is the ego/mind that claims ownership of things and objects. However, when we surrender the ego/mind to the Lord, the Self that sits in our Heart, grace floods our being and Self is Realized with immediacy as our own true nature.
