THE EQUALITY OF THE JNANI D. You have said that the Jnani can be and is active, and deals with men and things. I have no doubt about it now. But you say at the same time, that he has no difference, abheda, to him all is one, he is always in the Consciousness; if so, how does he deal with differences, with men, with things which are surely different? M. He sees these differences as but appearances, he sees them as not separate from the True, the Real, with which he is one. D. The Jnani seems to be more accurate in his expressions, he appreciates the differences better than the ordinary man. If sugar is sweet and wormwood is bitter to me, he too seems to realize it so. In fact, all forms, all sounds, all tastes, etc., are the same to him as they are to others. If so, how can it be said that these are mere appearances? Do they not form part of his life-experience? M. I have said that equality is the true sign of Jnana. The very term equality implies the existence of differences. It is a unity that the Jnani perceives in all differences, which I call equality. Equality does not mean ignorance of distinctions. When you have the Realization, you can see that these differences are very formal, they are not at all substantial, or permanent, and what is essential in all these appearances is the one Truth, the Real. That I call unity. . . . You referred to sound, taste, form, smell, etc. True the Jnani appreciates the distinctions, but he always perceives and experiences the one Real in all of them. That is why he has no preferences, whether he moves about, or talks, or does, it is all the One Real in which he does or moves or talks. He has nothing apart from the one Supreme Truth. - Sat Darshana Bhahashya
Devotee.... When a man realizes the Self, what will he see? Ramana.... There is no seeing.... Seeing is only Being.... Sri Ramana Maharshi....
Sri Mooji This too shall pass Everything you see, comes to pass. Know that you are not that. All things that are heard, come to pass. Know that you are not that. All things that are touched, come to pass. Know that you are not that. All things that are tasted, come to pass, Know you are not that. All things that are thought of, come to pass, Know that you are not that. All things, which are imagined, come to pass. Know that you are not that. All things that are learned, come to pass, Know you are not that. All that is manifest comes to pass, Know you are not that. All things of the mind come to pass, Know that you are not that. That which does not come to pass, but inside which all phenomena come to pass, know That - to be yourSelf.
God takes upon Himself complete responsibility for one who totally depends upon Him. ~ Sri Ramakrishna
Often, in the very moment the flower of pure consciousness is opening, some fear, nervousness and agitation comes up, or a sense of being lost. But something discerns that this is not the old kind of lost feeling. It is not the same old confusion. There is something exciting about this confusion; it is like you are on the cliff of the universe. Sometimes you have to be on the edge of the seat of your own life, not always hiding under the bed looking out. You have to be willing to stand on the cliff of your own existence and feel the air of infinite possibilities that you have never breathed before. In such a moment you will not know a millisecond of what’s in front of you. Nor will you be overly concerned. Facing the great abyss, you will say,“Here I am, take me.” And then plunge into the ocean of your own Source. 💓Mooji
Divine Grace is essential for Realisation. It leads one to God-realisation. But such Grace is vouchsafed only to him who is a true devotee or a yogin, who has striven hard and ceaselessly on the path towards freedom. (Talks 29)

"Don't expect anything from anybody, this is also a great freedom. Don't expect things to be different or people to be in service to you or your own life or projections. Feel gradually that natural feeling of detachment. Dont watch constantly with the eyes of relationship and past and so on. Stay faithful to your own discovery, leave the rest and life will take care of it." ~ Master Mooji

Turn your eyes into your heart and be always joyous by communing with your soul. Then whatever you do with a liberal mind, you are not to answer for it as its agent. Oṃ Śri Gurubhyo Namaḥ Hariḥ Oṃ Maharṣi Vasiṣṭha in Yoga Vasistha Maharamayana

Thoughts manifest themselves within emptiness and are reabsorbed into it like a face appears and disappears in a mirror; the face has never been in the mirror, and when it ceases to be reflected in it, it has not really ceased to exist. The mirror itself has never changed. So, before departing on the spiritual path, we remain in the so-called "impure" state of samsara, which is, in appearance, governed by ignorance. When we commit ourselves to that path, we cross a state where ignorance and wisdom are mixed. At the end, at the moment of Enlightenment, only pure wisdom exists. But all the way along this spiritual journey, although there is an appearance of transformation, the nature of the mind has never changed: it was not corrupted on entry onto the path, and it was not improved at the time of realisation.
Bliss will follow if you are still. But however much you may tell your mind about the truth, the mind will not keep quiet. It is the mind that won’t keep quiet. It is the mind which tells the mind “Be quiet and you will attain bliss”. ~ Thayumanavar.
In bad company, the three poisons grow stronger, Listening, reflection, and meditation decline, And loving-kindness and compassion vanish- To avoid unsuitable friends is the practice of a bodhisattva. A crystal, when placed on a piece of cloth, takes on the color of that cloth, whether white, yellow, red or black. In the same way, the friends with whom you keep company the most often, whether suitable or unsuitable, will greatly influence the direction your life and practice take. - Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
A Sage has absolutely no teaching to give you. If you want to have a teaching, you’ll have to go to a spiritual teacher, a yogi, a meditation master. But a Sage never has a teaching to give you whatsoever. The idea is to just be in the presence of the Sage, that does the teaching. A Sage does not teach tantric yoga, kundalini yoga, hatha yoga, raja yoga, laya yoga or anything else. For all teachings are from the mind. Where else would they come from. They are all mental concepts. The Sage is beyond the mind, beyond the mental concepts. So how can a Sage give a teaching? A Sage is absolute reality, pure awareness. . Robert Adams
Ashtavakra Gita Janaka said: 1.1 Master, how is Knowledge to be achieved, detachment acquired, liberation attained? Ashtavakra said: 1.5 You have no caste or duties. You are invisible, unattached, formless. You are the Witness of all things. Be happy. 1.6 Right and wrong, pleasure and pain, exist in mind only. They are not your concern. You neither do nor enjoy. You are free.
Tat Tvam Asi : तत्त्वमसि) Leave GOD alone. Speak for yourself. You do not know GOD. HE is only what you think of HIM. Is HE apart from you? HE is that PURE CONSCIOUSNESS in which ALL ideas are formed. YOU ARE THAT CONSCIOUSNESS... ~ Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi ♥
