life

The greatest step towards a life of happiness and simplicity is to let go. Trust in the power that is already taking care of you spontaneously without effort. ~Mooji

I am no thing

I am nothing that can be reached or touched.

I am distance-less Awareness.

I am nothing that can be seen or imagined.

I am image-less Awareness.

I am nothing that can be measured or compared.

I am Infinite Awareness.

~Mooji

sage

Illiteracy is ignorance and education is learned ignorance. Both are ignorant of the true aim.

The Sage is ignorant in a different line.

He is ignorant because there is no 'other' for Him.

life live it

Life is a beautiful mystery, just live it! Trying to understand mystery is confusion. When we live mystery of life totally, then joy dawns.

- Gurudev Sri Sri Ravishankar.

I am

shiva

"The moment I have realized God sitting in the temple of every human body, the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free from bondage, everything that binds vanishes, and I am free."

~ Swami Vivekanand.

Wish you a very auspicious 'National Youth Day'- the birthday of Swami ji.

I am

To meditate you don't have to have any objective, which means you don't have any expectation at all.

In these moments you don't find Reality, the Reality finds you.

Just sit quietly for a moment.

***********

The entire phenomenal manifestation is based on the principle of duality, which starts with the sense "I AM".

6. A Confused Path

Vivekananda Questions – Because of so many problems, we don’t know where we are heading…

8. Not-so-motivating instances

Ramakrishna Answers – Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.

11. Prayers Unanswered

Ramakrishna Answers – There are no unanswered prayers. Keep the faith and drop the fear. Life is a mystery to solve, not a problem to resolve. Trust me. Life is wonderful if you know how to live.

आपणाहूनी आपली स्थिती 

आपली भूमिका वा चित्तवृत्ती 

श्री गुरु जाणे नखशिखांती 

उध्दारगती ही तोच..

घडो तुझे नामःस्मरण 

व्हावी नं इतर आठवण 

यावे मनासी निश्चलपण 

चंचलपण ना तळो।।
