"When you try to trace the ego, based on which alone the world and all exist, you find the ego does not exist at all and so also all this creation."

Day by Day with Bhagavan

The sense of one's personal will is lost. That is enlightenment. Enlightenment means there is no "me" with a sense of personal doership. "I" can do nothing. Everything that happens is God's will. One-hundred percent acceptance of that—which is surrender to God's will—is enlightenment. That does not lead to enlightenment, that is itself enlightenment.

RAMESH BALSEKAR

This world is a garden, a game, play this divine game very well. See things only as they are but do not possess them or you will be in trouble because even your body is transient.
The next breath is not guaranteed so do what you have to do Now: play well, play wisely, by first finding out who you are. Yoga only, no bhoga, first finish your work, then go to the world with a heart that is dancing. Don't use words for this dance because the game is tricky. Just be silent.

The world is like a tail of a dog, its nature is to curl.
The best you can do is to stay Quiet
and not let anything bother you.
Visitors will come and go, don't interfere with these waves.
Be always empty and let desires dance.
Being asleep in the waking state is
being asleep to desires and aversions.

~ Papaji

"The moon’s reflection cannot be seen clearly in ruffled water, but when the water’s surface is calm a perfect reflection of the moon appears. So with the mind: when it is calm you see clearly reflected the moonèd face of the soul. As souls we are reflections of God. When by meditation techniques we withdraw restless thoughts from the lake of the mind, we behold our soul, a perfect reflection of Spirit, and realize that the soul and God are One."

— Paramahansa Yogananda
"Where There Is Light"
