As you move about during the day,

stay in the state of neutrality.

Just be in the neutral place. It is not difficult for you.

You don’t have to be suppressing the senses

or steering them in some way.

You didn’t wake up this morning

and turn on perception.

Just perception is happening by itself, spontaneously.

 

Without You, the light of consciousness,

perception has no meaning,

the functioning of the senses has no meaning.

You don’t have to cultivate this;

it’s a very natural thing.

 

Avoid going into the story of the person,

the egoic identity. It is the most corrosive

and keeps a heaviness in the form.

The ego sense is heavier than any mountain.

It takes a lot of energy

to support the expression of egoic identity.

It takes no energy to be the Self.

🌸 Mooji

Who gave us this crazy idea

that we should know how to live?

Does a tree know how to grow?

Does a cloud know how to rain?

Does the wind know how to blow?

Does a road know that it is going somewhere?

Please, don’t know how to live,

let life be its own spontaneous unfolding

and let joy flood your being.

~ Mooji

One has to learn tolerance in the face of dualities such as happiness and distress, or cold and warmth, and by tolerating such dualities become free from anxieties regarding gain and loss.

Bhagavad Gita

🍁🍁🍁🍁

Fear not on seeing this empty world, which appears as a dream in the sleep of Self-forgetfulness. This imaginary and bondage-causing world-picture, [projected on the background] of the dark, dense mind, will not stand in the light of Supreme Knowledge, Sat-Chit-Ananda.

('Guru Vachaka Kovai', v. 27)

When enlightenment downs , you will realize that you were never born,nor have you carried out any worldly actions.neither remembrance nor forgetfulness actually exist . There is no awaked one ; there is only self realisation. ~ Nisargdatta Maharaj

If you are depressed you are living in past. If you are anxious you are living in future.if you are at peace you are living in the present. ~ Lao tzu

You worry whether you can function without the mind. Before you were three years old, did the mind give you the sense of having a form? The mind has great importance only because you have not gone beyond it. The Wisdom Teachings of Nisargadatta Maharaj

Realise you are love, don't try to give somebody, it's too much for them to take. Know that you are giving them more than what they can handle and then your love turns into hatred. Don't let them happen.

~ Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
