Meditation

If you are surrounded by lots of thoughts, if the thought-process is going on continuously, if you have forgotten your being just here and now -- please make your breathing deep and deeper suddenly, and continue it; and you will feel all thoughts have been vaporized, and you will return to home to your being right now!

People are talking about misery and you must think that they want to get rid of that misery -- you are wrong!

Never try to belittle their misery: they will be very angry and they will never forgive you. They are rejoicing that they have the greatest misery in the world -- and you are trying to belittle it or ignore it!

The human mind is a very strange creature. Rather than trying to understand your misery, you start glorifying it. You start feeling a kind of martyrdom -- and martyrdom is a desease, a sickness of the soul.

But the whole tradition of humanity has praised the martyrs as great human beings. They were simply masochists who wanted an opportunity to be tortured! Nobody says it is so because that means your whole history has to be written again: it is not about the sincere and the real people, it is about the sick psychopaths.

Hum a sound,
such as ahhhhh . . . uuuuuuu . . . mmmmmm,
or hreeeeemmmm, or eemmm,
or even the sound hum itself.
Bathe in the sound with infinite leisure . . .

As the sound fades
into an imperceptible hum,
it will carry you
into the hum of the universe.

Thinking

You are not paying so much attention to the Reality.
You are paying so much attention to the the body-form, the mental form. You are thinking, always thinking creating great problems all the way through, making them rooted to this thinking, of depression, boredom, lack of interest, the body, all these things.  So much energy is wasted at this mental level, intellectual level, physical level. Your identity is beyond that.

Selfless Self Talks with Shri Ramakant Maharaj

Let go

WHEN FEELINGS 'LET GO'

Give up the struggle
to 'let go'
of fear, anger, sadness.

Instead, become exceedingly curious
about these 'unwanted' visitors.
Breathe into them, give them room,
let them stay, today;
bless them with non-judgemental attention.

When they feel loved enough,
when they feel safely held
in your non-resistant awareness,
when they are ready,
they will 'let go' of you.

For the more you resist your fear,
the more it controls you.

The more you try to be 'free from'
your sadness or your anger,
the more of a victim you feel.

Instead, know that you are Presence,
Life Itself, the great Field in which
fear, anger and sadness are allowed
to live, grow, and die.

You've let go of your attempts to 'let go'.
You've let feelings come,
and you've let feelings go, effortlessly,
in their own sweet time.

Feelings were only ever seeking sanctuary
in the vastness of your Heart.

Don't run; be love, instead.

- Jeff Foster

Life

"And so, instead of trying to ‘fix’ our lives, instead of trying to neatly resolve the unresolveable and quickly complete the epic story of a fictitious ‘me’, we simply relax into utter not knowing, unravelling in the warm embrace of mystery, sinking deeply into the moment, savouring it fully, in all its uniqueness and wonder.

And then, perhaps without any effort, without any struggle or stress, without ‘you’ being involved at all, the true answers will emerge in their own sweet time."

- Jeff Foster

friends

“Mind, like a crystal, is colored by its surroundings.
You are bound to reflect the qualities and shortcomings of the good or bad friends whose company you keep.

If you associate with the malevolent, the selfish, the rancorous, the intolerant, and the arrogant, their faults will affect you. You would do better to keep your distance.”

~ H.H. Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
