Nurtureoneslife:
If we are the doers of deeds, we should reap the fruits they yield.
But when we question, ‘Who am I, the doer of this deed?’ and realize the Self, the sense of agency is lost and the three karmas slip away.
Eternal is this Liberation.

Sri Ramana Maharshi
(Reality in Forty Verses)

वेदों में कहा है, "युवक, बलशाली, स्वस्थ, तीव्र मेधावाले और उत्साहयुक्त मनुष्य ही ईश्वर के पास पहुँच सकते है"।

SHIVA'S WAY

The Holy Ganga, descends from the Heavens. She is full of Divine force and wisdom, and it is not possible to straight away receive her upon the earth. Thus it is Shiva's way to meditate, Receive the Gyan Ganga upon His head; Stabilize the impact and then, trickle it down gently for the others, so that they too may quench their thirst.  This forms the basis of the "Guru Shishya" Maryada of Hinduism. The Guru, who has himself attained to Samadhi and is steeped in God consciousness, may then help others on their path.
Aum Namah Shivaye.
~ Shail Gulhati: Shiva and Mysticism.

“ The Causal Body is the state of the “unknowable” or “the void” which is presented in the point of view of western philosophers.This state which is devoid of all thoughts,imagination,and doubts,is often mistakenly taken by aspirants to be Samadhi,and thought to be the same as Brahman without concepts or qualities (Nirvikalpa Brahman). When this void or state or emptiness is reached, one is likely to get a false satisfaction and say, “Today I saw Brahman.” The interval or pause between where one modification of the mind disappears, and another one does not arise(such as the space between two thoughts, or the intervening pause before sleep sets in and the waking state disappears) is a state of pure forgetfulness. This is what is described as the “Covering of Bliss” (Anandamaya Kosha) in the scriptures.In the Causal Body all chaos,struggle,and the infinite number of waves of thought have ceased. Therefore,there is a sense of peace in this third body that is not found in the other two bodies.It is true that the aspirant experiences a certain joy,but this is not Ultimate Peace,or even true Bliss.”
-Shri Sadguru Siddharameshwar Maharaj

"Don't belittle yourself or raise yourself high
Don't say who you are, for you don't know even that...
Just remain empty of identity and intention.
Keep quiet.
Let the Truth reveal who you are."

Understanding human nature is the highest knowledge, and only by knowing it can we know God. It is also a fact that the knowledge of God is the highest knowledge, and only by knowing God can we understand human nature

knowledge that bound is not true knowledge swami vivekanand

When you see events as just ‘happenings’, rather than as ‘doings’, you are liberated right away.

Self-attention is the sole aim of all Bhagavan's teachings. He taught us that self alone exists and is real, and that all else is a dream, a figment of our imagination. He said, 'Attend to that for which you came'; we came for knowing self and not for learning many theories. However, a thorough understanding of his teachings and the theories he proposed will enable us to quieten our mind in any situation.

The Paramount Importance of Self Attention by Sadhu Om as recorded by Michael James.

When you realise the magnanimity of what you are.Then all praise ,insult don't mean much to you.

~ Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar ji

Screen of consciousness. Mind don't exist. It's not no mind state. Mind merge. There is nothing called as peaceful mind.

You must go and sit inside the cave of your own heart.
When you can bear your own emptiness,
You are free.

The apparently Self-realised person does not hanker after more pleasure in daily living, nor does he resist whatever comes his way as a sense objects. Wanting some thing positively or not wanting something negatively are both aspect of volition, and in case of apparently Self-realised person there is absolutely no volition. His sensorial apparatus responds to an external stimulus without the intervention of the mind. He lives his life 'like a dry leaf in the breeze'. He knows that his life is being lived according to God's Will or the Cosmic Law, like everyone's life, and merely witnesses life happening naturally.

Shining as the bright void, devoid of concepts raised by the villainous ego, this is the true experience of infinite Being-Awareness, the one non-dual bliss of pure silence.

(Guru Vachaka Kovai)

You believe in thoughts,
therefore you become
easily confused
and so peace is hidden.
Behind the screen of mind
is the realm of
unchanging awareness
—silent, vast and perfect.
The wise leave aside
the incessant murmurings
of the mind
and merge themselves here
in the infinite stillness of Being.

Being ātma-niṣṭhāparaṉ [one who is completely fixed in and as oneself], giving not even the slightest room to the rising of any cintana [thought] other than ātma-cintana [thought of oneself], alone is giving oneself to God. Even though one places whatever amount of burden upon God, that entire amount he will bear. Since one paramēśvara śakti [supreme ruling power or power of God] is driving all kāryas [whatever needs or ought to be done or to happen], instead of we also yielding to it, why to be perpetually thinking, ‘it is necessary to do like this; it is necessary to do like that’? Though we know that the train is going bearing all the burdens, why should we who go travelling in it, instead of remaining happily leaving our small luggage placed on it [the train], suffer bearing it [our luggage] on our head?
