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

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.

Success and failure are
due to prarabdha karma,
and not to willpower or
the lack of it....
One should try to gain
equipoise of mind under
all circumstances....
That is willpower.....

" Even the power to see is seen.
You see through perception, you see through wisdom, you see through spirit, you see through understanding.
The sense of being a person appears to be a fact but inquiry bypasses the person on the way to looking and the person itself becomes an object also.
The ultimate thing is not a thing at all and it is no other than you..."

Happy Osho's Enlightenment Day! 💜💜💜
"You cannot make a goal of enlightenment; it can never be tomorrow. Either it is here and now, or never. Remember those words: now or never!
You have misunderstood the idea of enlightenment. The idea of enlightenment is to remain in the present moment. I call it meditation -- not to go into the past, which is no more, not to go into the future, which is not yet -- because if you go into past and future, you are going to miss the present moment, which is the only reality.
Just be here, now. And if you are here and now, enlightenment comes of its own accord. It is not a goal that you have to reach. It is not somewhere far away so that you have to travel a path to it. It comes to you, you never go to it. It is not your doing, it is a happening.
All that you have to understand is: be authentically in the present because there is no other reality anywhere. This small moment, this silence -- and suddenly you will feel something arising from the very depths of your being. It has always been there; you never gave it a chance. You have been wandering everywhere, but you have not allowed your innermost core just a little space, a little time."
💜 Osho 💜

“Pain is physical; suffering is mental. Beyond the mind, there is no suffering. Pain is essential for the survival of the body, but none compels you to suffer. Suffering is due entirely to clinging or resisting; it is a sign of our unwillingness to move on, to flow with life.” ~Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Visitor. I am taught that Mantra Japam is very potent in practice.
Bhagavan: The Self is the greatest of all mantras and goes on automatically and eternally. If you are not aware of this
internal mantra, you should take to do it consciously as japam, which is attended with effort, to ward off all other thoughts.
By constant attention to it, you will eventually become aware of the internal mantra, which is the state of
Realisation and is effortless.
Firmness in this awareness will keep you continually and effortlessly in the current,
however much you may be engaged on other activities.
Listening to Veda chanting and mantras has the same result as conscious repetitions of japam – its rhythm is the japam.

MEDITATION
.....
The Jnani (sage) is the Self, and sees nothing apart from himself.
(Day by Day with Bhagavan)
....
“I know one (Sri Ramakrishna Dev) whom the world used to call mad, and this was his answer:
“My friends, the whole world is a lunatic asylum: some are mad after wordly love, some after name, some after fame, some after money, some after salvation and going to heaven. In this big lunatic asylum I too am mad; I am mad after God. You are mad; so am I.
I think my madness is after all the best.”
- Swami Vivekananda

A JNANI HAS NO BODY
Before leaving the ashram, I wrote down several questions for Guy Hague to ask Bhagavan that I had not had a chance to ask myself. I had been bothered by the fact that so many saints and enlightened people had been ill and suffering physically. I asked, “Should they not have perfect bodies and why do they not cure themselves?” In Europe, I got a letter from Guy saying he had discussed my question with Bhagavan. He wrote:
“Bhagavan told me to tell you that the spiritually perfect person need not necessarily have a perfect body. The reason, as he explained it, is very simple.
“You see, the ego, the body, and the mind are the same thing. The spiritually perfect person, like Bhagavan, is above these three things. Consequently, he has… no body to heal, neither a mind — or ego — to heal it with. He is beyond all this because it is illusion. He is living in Reality. Christian Scientists can take the mind and heal the body — for they are the same thing. American Indians heal, too, in this manner. It is faith healing.
“But if the spiritually perfect person is sick in body it is because the body is working out its karma. Bhagavan gave an illustration of karma, which he says is like an electric fan and must just run its course, only gradually ceasing even after it has been turned off.
He says the mind is born into illusion and builds a body and a world to suit it — that is, a world that it has earned and deserves (by its karma). Bhagavan, knowing the body and the mind to be illusion, cannot experience any bodily ailment or discomfort. We make him suffer pain, loss of weight, etc. It is in our minds, not his. He is actually bodiless, though you and I cannot realize this as a fact.”
