Enlightenment means to know thy Self - to know, "Who am I."
This is Enlightenment. This is Wisdom. This is Bliss.
This is Existence. This is Being. This is Truth.
This truth is not located at a distance - it is your own Self through which you are searching for truth and freedom.

शुद्धता अन्तस की होनी चाहिए, अन्तस शुद्ध होगा तो हम जो भी करेंगे वो पुण्य ही होगा, शुद्ध अन्तस से पाप हो ही नहीं सकता । और यदि अन्तस शुद्ध नहीं है तो हम जो भी करेंगे वो गलत ही होगा, पूण्य भी करना चाहेंगे तो भी ग़लत ही होगा, अशुद्ध अन्तस पूण्य सम्भव ही नहीं है । अन्तस की शुद्धता पूजा पाठ से, धर्म स्थलों पर जाने से, तीर्थ यात्रा पर जाने से, धर्म शास्त्रों के अध्ययन से सम्भव नहीं है । अन्तस शुद्ध होता है ध्यान से, प्रेमपूर्ण चित्त से, करूणा से। प्रेमपूर्ण, करूणावान , और ध्यानस्थ चित्त से ही अन्तस शुद्ध होता है ।

If one’s outlook is changed into Jnana, seen through That, this same world, seen previously as a hell of misery, will be found to be a heaven of Bliss.
('Guru Vachaka Kovai', v. 53)

The purpose of the intellect is to realise its own dependence upon the Higher Power and its inability to reach the same. So it must annihilate itself before the goal is gained.

Anything that you have imposed on yourself to be unhappy, to be bound, is a concept. It is an imaginary concept, so give it away.

It is all your desires that you see, when you think. But when your mind is quiet, without desire, you are complete and as wonderful as you have always been.

If you make human company too important
you will not discover your true Self.
Relationships not based in truth
are never entirely reliable
and are rarely enduring.
Taking time to discover yourself
is the best use of time.
Prioritise this.
One should not excessively seek
partners or friends.
One should seek to know
and be oneself.
As you begin to awaken to the Truth,
you start noticing how well life flows
by itself and how well you are cared for.
Life supports the physical, emotional,
mental and spiritual needs of the one
who is open to self-discovery.
Trust opens your eyes
to the recognition of this.
Surrender allows you to merge
in your own Eternal Being.

He alone knows to whom He will reveal Himself under which form. By what path and in what manner He attracts any particular man to Himself with great force is incomprehensible to the human intellect. The Path differs indeed for different pilgrims.

Surrounded by nothingness
you have to do nothing.
You have to do nothing
to be who you are.
Nothing at all.
♥️ Papaji
god
God is the life behind your life, the sight behind your eyes, the taste behind your tongue, and the love behind your love. To realize this to the fullest extent is Self-realization.
Without God's power you can do nothing. If you always hold this thought, you cannot go wrong, because you will have purified the temple of your mind and your soul with the vibrations of God.
-- Sri Paramahansa Yogananda
एकांत
*निर्भयता से स्वयं के मन को एकांत में जानने की कोशिश*
आधा घंटे के लिए कम से कम रोज, मन जैसा है उसको वैसा ही सहज रूप से प्रकट होने का मौका देना चाहिए। बंद कर लें उस सम्राट की तरह एक कमरे में अपने को, और मन में जो भी उठता हो उसे मुक्त कर दें और उससे कहें कि जो भी तुझे सोचना है और जो भी तुझे विचारना है, वह सब उठने दें। सारा सेंसर जो हम बिठाए हुए हैं अपने ऊपर कि कोई चीज बाहर न निकल आए, वह सब छोड़ दें। और मन को एक फ्रीडम, एक मुक्ति दे दें कि जो भी उठता हो उठे, जो भी प्रकट होना चाहता हो प्रकट हो। न तो हम कुछ दबाके, न हम कुछ रोकेंगे। हम तो यह जानने को तत्पर हुए हैं कि भीतर क्या है! बुरे और भले का निर्णय भी नहीं करना है,क्योंकि निर्णय करते ही दमन शुरू हो जाता है। जिस चीज को आप बुरा कहते हैं उस चीज को मन दबाने लगता है और जिसको आप अच्छा कहते हैं उसको ओढ़ने लगता है।
तो न तो बुरा कहना है, न भला कहना है। जो भी है मन में, जैसा भी है, उसे वैसा ही जानने के लिए हमारी तैयारी होनी चाहिए। तो इस भांति अगर मन को पूरा मुक्त छोड़ दिया जाए और वह जो भी सोचना चाहता हो, वह जो भी विचारना चाहता हो, जिन भी भावों में बहना चाहता हो, उनमें उसे बहने दिया जाए। बहुत घबड़ाहट होगी, लगेगा कि हम पागल हैं क्या?
लेकिन जो भीतर छिपा है, उसे जान लेना अत्यंत जरूरी है, उससे मुक्त हो जाने के लिए। उससे मुक्त हो जाने के लिए पहली बात उसकी जानकारी और उसकी पहचान है। और उसकी पहचान न हो, उसकी जानकारी न हो, तो जिस शत्रु को हम जानते नहीं उससे हम जीत भी नहीं सकते हैं। उससे जीतने का कोई रास्ता नहीं है। छिपा हुआ शत्रु, पीठ के पीछे खड़ा हुआ शत्रु खतरनाक है उस शत्रु से जो आख के सामने हो, जिससे हम परिचित हों, जिसे हम पहचानते हों।
पहली बात है, मन के ऊपर से सारा सेंसर, सारा प्रतिबंध, जो हमने लगा रखा है सब तरफ से कि मन को हम कहीं उसकी सहजता में प्रकट नहीं होने देते। मन की जितनी स्पांटेनिटी है, जितनी सहजता है, सब रोक रखी है। सब असहज हो गया है, सब झूठा कर डाला है, सब पर्दे ओढ़ लिए हैं, सब झूठे मुंह पहन लिए हैं, और कहीं से भी उसकी सीधी बात को हम प्रकट नहीं होने देते। तो उसे उसकी सीधी बात में प्रकट होने देना, अपने सामने कम से कम शुरू में, ताकि हम परिचित हो सकें एक—एक अंश से मन के, जो भीतर छिपे हैं और दबा दिए गए हैं।
मन का बहुत हिस्सा अंधकार में दबाया हुआ है। वहां हम कभी दीया नहीं ले जाते। अपने ही घर के बाहर के बरामदे में जीते हैं, भीतर के सारे कमरों में अंधकार छाया हुआ है और वहां कितने कीड़े—मकोड़े और कितने जाल और कितने सांप—बिच्छू इकट्ठे हो गए हैं, इसका कोई सवाल नहीं। अंधकार में वे इकट्ठे हो ही जाते हैं। और हम डरते हैं वहां रोशनी ले जाने से कि हमारा घर ऐसा है, यह हम सोचना भी नहीं चाहते, यह हम कल्पना भी नहीं करना चाहते। यह भय छोड़ देना अत्यंत आवश्यक है साधक के लिए।
मस्तिष्क, मन और विचारों के जगत में क्रांति लाने के लिए पहला काम है, वह भय छोड़ कर, निर्भय होकर स्वयं को जानने के लिए तैयार हो जाए।

quotes 1
The truth is I'm more ordinary than I have ever been because I have found the utter fulfillment of this existence of being. I'm an ordinary human being and I experience all states of emotion and some are more welcome than others, but even in the unwelcome ones I know what is truly at peace and that is what I am. And that's who you are. That's who each of us is; each of us has that same existence. Each of us is a human being that is fundamentally, inherently, utter fulfillment.
~ Gangaji

self
Those who have destroyed ignorance by the clarity of knowledge and who are established firmly in Self-abidance, are completely dead-minded. They will survive as eternal Muktas (liberated beings), their mind having been given jiva-samadhi (the physical and Absolute are merged) at the Feet of Siva (God).
(Guru Vachaka Kovai)
quotes 1
The more you read,
the more knowledge you gain...
And who profits by this?
The ego, every book that you read gives you more intelligence...
Who has intelligence?
The ego...
Every time you think you have to mediate,
it is the ego that is meditating...
Does the Self have to mediate?
Does reality have to meditate on reality?
All of the gurus you've seen,
everything that you've done has
actually put you back in time,
not forward but back....
Robert Adams....
quotes 11
Do you want to believe this lie,
that you die, that you get old,
that there are problems in this world?
This is all a lie. It's the mortal dream...
Do not identify with the mortal dream...
Know who you are once and for all...
You are that which was never born, which does not prevail, and can never die...
You are that which is beyond all concepts,
all reasoning, all thoughts...
You are that which has always existed
as pure awareness....
You are that which is neither female or male, which is neither good nor bad,
which is neither right or wrong, which just is...
Beauty, joy, love, harmony, peace, bliss,
this is your real nature, this is who you are...
Why not accept this and become free,
right now?
Robert Adams...
quotes 10
Leave everything outside and come in.
Everything you see, you must leave.
Don't want anything, not even enlightenment.
Everyone can do this.
Come right into that place before all these things were formed.
Allow yourself to be undone of all falsehood.
Then you will discover for yourself
that emptiness that has never moved.
Everything else has moved.
This is your ground. The ground of Being.
Your very Self is that.
🌺 Mooji

"The jnani’s state is one which transcends the mind. It cannot be described by the mind. Only Silence can correctly describe this state and its characteristics. Silence is more effective than speech. From Silence came the ego, from the ego came thought, and from thought came speech. So if speech is effective, how much more effective must be its original source?"
~ Ramana Maharshi
quotes 9
Nothing touches you. What is there to renounce? Let it all go, the body and the mind. Let yourself dissolve.
You see the world. But like the snake in the rope, it is not really there. You are pure. Let yourself dissolve.
You are one and the same in joy and sorrow, hope and despair, life and death. You are already fulfilled. Let yourself dissolve.

CONVERSATIONS WITH ANNAMALAI SWAMI
In the peace of the Self, there are no vasanas. If you can establish yourself in the Self, all vasanas will be destroyed.
Witness the vasanas as they arise but don't identify with them or act on them. If you want to get rid of your vasanas you must learn to practice non-involvement.
If you feel yourself identifying with a vasana when it starts to rise, remind yourself. 'This vasana is not me' and withdraw into the Self. If you learn to ignore your vasanas in this way they will eventually stop rising.
- Living by the Words of Bhagavan, p. 346
quotes 5
Don't be so quick to believe in the mind’s projections.
You are not the mind.
Don't come under its spell.
The mind is a great magician.
It has hypnotised 7 billion human beings.
In the realm of personhood, it is full of tricks and has the power to make a lot of mischief, confusion, distortion and delusion.
But yours is a greater power. It is the power of the pure Self.
The power to observe with detachment, to recognise that all phenomena are transient appearances and that oneself is the formless witness—timeless and ever-perfect.
💙 Mooji
quotes 4
Sometimes you’re not entirely sure where to fit in, just how to be, or exactly where you belong. It’s so hard to squeeze inside all their tight spaces at just the right intervals. You’re ahead of your time and too pure for the future, yet in this moment unrestricted you find the innermost place that is true to your very being and where you shine unforgettably. So keep becoming who you are, timeless being…for this momentary world needs such endless beauty that is in you.

quotes 3
There is no one on this earth who does anything.
The whole universe is a puppet show.
We're dancing the dance of Shiva.
We think we're something important. But we're really nothing as we appear.
Your job is to observe, to watch, to see what's going on and not to react to anything that is happening but to stay separate from the happenings. To separate yourself from what is happening.
What's happening is happening to the 'I', to the ego, not to you.
~ Robert Adams

quotes 8
True love has nothing to do with liking someone, agreeing with him or her, or being compatible. It is a love of unity, a love of seeing God wearing all the masks and recognizing itself in them all.
Without it, Truth becomes an abstraction that is sort of cool and analytical, and that is not the real Truth. The Truth exposes itself in the willingness to open to this intimate connectedness with everything.
Whether the personality likes it or not, an intimate connection is there. Sometimes it will rush to the fore and make itself known in a very obvious way. Sometimes it will burn in the background like embers, just there for everything.
With this love, you can feel the walls of opposition come down naturally in the acknowledgement of a deep connection. Not only do the walls of opposition fall, but love is felt for every human being and for life itself.
- Adyashanti, Emptiness Dancing 57
quotes
"The Highest Form of Grace is Silence (mowna). It is also the highest upadesa (instruction)." In Talk 518 (Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi). Silence and Grace are frequent topics that occur in devotee conver
sations with Bhagavan.

TO REMAIN AS YOU ARE
D: What is the use of samadhi and does thought subsist
then?
M: Samadhi alone can reveal the Truth. Thoughts cast
a veil over Reality, and so It is not realized as such in
states other than samadhi.
In samadhi there is only the feeling ‘I AM’ and no
thoughts. The experience ‘I AM’ is being still.
D: How can I repeat the experience of samadhi or the
stillness that I obtain here?
M: Your present experience is due to the influence of the
atmosphere in which you find yourself. Can you have
it outside this atmosphere? The experience is spasmodic.
Until it becomes permanent, practice is necessary.
D: One has at times vivid flashes of a consciousness
whose center is outside the normal self, and which
seems to be all-inclusive. Without concerning
ourselves with philosophical concepts, how would
Bhagavan advise me to work towards getting,
retaining and extending those rare flashes? Does
abhyasa in such experience involve retirement?
M: Outside! For whom is the inside or outside? These
can exist only so long as there are the subject and
object. For whom are these two again? On
investigation, you will find that they resolve into the
subject only. See who is the subject, and this inquiry
leads you to pure Consciousness beyond the subject.
The normal self is the mind. This mind is with
limitations. But pure Consciousness is beyond
limitations and is reached by the investigation as above
outlined.
Getting: The Self is always there. You have only to remove
the veil obstructing the revelation of the Self.
Retaining: Once you realize the Self, it becomes your direct
and immediate experience. It is never lost.
Extending: There is no extending of the Self, for it is as
ever, without contraction or expansion.
Retirement: Abiding in the Self is solitude. Because there
is nothing alien to the Self. Retirement must be
from some one place or state to another. There is
neither the one nor the other apart from the Self. All
being the Self, retirement is impossible and
inconceivable.
Abhyasa is only the prevention of disturbance to the
inherent peace. You are always in your natural State
whether you do abhyasa or not... To remain as you
are, without question or doubt, is your natural State.
From Maharshi’s Gospel

If you have found something that is priceless to you, surely you will honour it. If you have fallen in love, I don't think you will require anyone to remind you to remember your beloved. As you give some attention to be conscious with what you have discovered, not to tell yourself things about it, but just to stay and confirm and as I said, the best way is to listen, to read again, to watch a recording of this evening's talks. You'll find a growing, an emerging, a deepening conviction of your understanding. The flavour, the perfume of what you are seeing will begin to emanate as openness, as fearlessness and natural trust, a conceptual flexibility, a joy, a peace, an emerging widening of the capacity to love, a lessening capacity of the tendency to judge. All of these things they come, come in naturally. All good and noble qualities manifest spontaneously in the awakened heart. It's not that you have to go and develop, develop, develop. They are already one with consciousness you will discover more and more. This is my joy; that I am not imparting to you a hardship but a wonderful discovery. It is not for or against anyone. In a sense I say,often to those who come to satsang, "You must become like the cow that jumped over the moon." meaning, it didn't go through the moon to push it closer to the sun. It means that somehow it bypassed the conceptual forest of personhood. It avoided the traps of the personal seeker and re-entered its own source. And the commitment I speak of is not a commitment to me particularly, but just to honour that which I put as the most important discovery in the human kingdom for a human being. Continue to just look and to confirm what you are seeing. Its not a rebelliousness. Its not a giving up on life, in fact, it is life affirming but, it is True Life. This I would encourage, that this flourishes inside your own heart and that it spreads through you. This joy and peace and openness and love. So, please as of this moment move in the spirit of this discovery as much as Grace allows you.

Q: When will the suffering cease?
Not until individuality is lost. If both the good and bad actions are his, why should you think that the enjoyment and suffering are yours alone? He who does good or bad, also enjoys pleasure or suffers pain. Leave it there and do not superimpose suffering on yourself.
❤ Ramana Maharshi

Sri Mooji
Start today
No one has the power to make you unhappy or miserable. Mainly, we do this by ourselves. Happiness is our real nature. Sadness comes mostly through habit and through identification with the personal self. We can be happy every moment but mostly, due to habit, we choose to focus on what makes us unhappy and so lose or hide our natural joy.
Develop the excellent attitude of gratitude to all of existence. Overlook petty thoughts, worries and troubles, the bitter and the sweet. Instantly, you will begin feeling uplifted in your spirit and in a short time you will begin seeing life through brighter, wiser and more loving eyes. Start today.

There is a love that doesn't require
to know something about you first.
It has no condition, has no requirement.
I don't need to know if you have some
special talent before I will except to love you.
The very fact that you Are,
and you are the Being,
is already known
that you are That
and That loves Itself.
This is the real love.
Not a love that is about something,
"I love you because you are so beautiful",
"I love you because you give something to me",
"I love you because I see what you do",...
There is a love that is there
that doesn't require any condition,
it doesn't require background,
because it knows and recognizes you
as Love itself.

"Everyone runs after happiness and enjoyment. Yet, supreme happiness and bliss- are ever There and nowhere else. That which is eternal must be revealed, and then the question of going in search of anything does not arise."
~ Anandamayi Ma.
Reality
Reality is simply the loss of ego. Destroy the ego by seeking its identity. Because the ego is no entity it will automatically vanish and reality will shine forth by itself.
This is the direct method, whereas all other methods are done only by retaining the ego. In those paths, there arise so many doubts and the eternal question `Who am I?' remains to be tackled finally. But in this method, the final question is the only one and it is raised from the beginning. No sadhanas are necessary for engaging in this quest.
There is no greater mystery than this - that being the reality we seek to gain reality. We think that there is something hiding our reality and that it must be destroyed before the reality is gained. It is ridiculous. A day will dawn when you will laugh at your past efforts. That which will be on the day you laugh is also here and now.
- Be as you Are
quotes 6
Just as we don't deem a dream, a dream till we wake up, the dream looks quite real while it lasts. Similarly, this waking state will not appear a dream till we wake up into jnana ( realization).
~ Ramana Maharshi
quotes 5
"In the beginning, I used to ask my teacher in school about it, and the teacher sent me to the principal. And the principal called my mother. And my mother did take me to the doctor. And the first doctor said I had hay fever. And then I discussed it with some of my friends and I realized fast I'd better shut up.
Even now my family thinks I'm crazy. I told you before, during Christmas I spoke to my brother who I haven't seen in about sixteen years and he said, 'Are you still good for nothing?' I said, 'Yes, are you good for something?' But then I asked him if he was happy and he shut up."
-- from Silence of the Heart, p 357

One should remain as witness to whatever happens, adopting the attitude ‘Let whatever strange things happen, happen; let us see!' ~ Sri Ramana
quotes 3
"When the house is full, the thieves will not enter."
==================================
Only when you possess or attain something does the concept and fear of losing arise.
Only Self cannot be lost.
If you have attained peace,
mind will come back; just let it come
just watch from where it arises.
Allow the mind to run, but directing it to Now,
do not let it land in the graveyard of the past.
Clinging to the past is keeping evil association.
When you meditate,
all these patterns will leave you.
The trick is to keep full attention on
who wants to meditate,
because when the house is full,
the thieves will not enter.
Don't expect and do not search and you will find it.
~ PAPAJI
quotes 1
Let the mind come, but don't `have' a mind.
Mind helps you to exercise your wisdom, your own power of discernment to stay as you are and not divide yourself. When this is appreciated, you will stop fearing the mind. Gradually, as understanding deepens to reveal the Self as one's own reality, the mind becomes a friend and servant.
~ Mooji
quotes
"Everybody lives in his own world. Not all the worlds are equally good or bad. The mind that projects the world, colors it its own way. When you meet a man he is a stranger. When you marry him, he becomes your own self. When you quarrel, he becomes your enemy. It is your mind's attitude that determines what he is to you."
~ Nisargadatta Maharaj.
