mind

"There is no other way to succeed than to draw the mind back every time it turns outwards and fix it in the Self."

Sri Ramana Maharshi

world is cosmic joke

 Do not give your energy to this world. 

For the whole world is a cosmic joke.

It will suck your energy out, make you weak, 

make you start searching for remedies, 

solutions to your problems.

You will go through life after life doing these things.

The time is now, there is no other time but now. 

Now is the time to become totally free and liberated. 

Awaken, for you were never asleep! 

Awaken from the mortal dream. 

Let not another day go by where you react to people, places or things. 

Quit it! Stop it! 

Do not react to your own body, your own feelings. 

Quit it! Stop it! 

Understand who you really are. 

Stick with it!

Do not look for a time. 

Do not consider how long it takes, 

for most of you know by now there is no time. 

Time is a relative concept, it has no basis, no foundation. 

Look at yourself without time. 

Feel yourself without time.

This means there never was a time when you were a human. 

There never was a time when you were a sinner. 

There never was a time when you had a past. 

There never will be a time when there is a future. 

You are all there is right now! 

All there ever was, all there will ever be 

is right where you are right this minute.

You are that. 

It is you!

teaching

 First know your Self; 

leave alone the idea of teaching others. 

If the world and its people 

remain after your realisation, 

you may teach them.

Sri Ramana Maharshi

Thought

 The one who follows the thought is also a thought! The one who follows the thought IS in thought. When you know that both are thoughts, you are home. You are not at home, you ARE home. Then allow thoughts to arise and allow them to be followed. You remain as That unmoved and unconcerned Being. This is the highest understanding.

~ Sri Poonjaji 'Papaji'

OSHO quotes

 

Peace

Peaceful is the one
who is not concerned
about having more or less.
Unbound by name and fame
he is free
from sorrow,
from the world,
and mostly
from himself.

— Rumi

I m that

Questioner: Is self-realisation so important?

Nisargadatta Maharaj: Without it you will be consumed by desires and fears, repeating themselves meaninglessly in endless suffering. Most of the people do not know that there can be an end to pain. But once they have heard the good news, obviously going beyond all strife and struggle is the most urgent task that can be. You know that you can be free and now it is up to you. Either you remain forever hungry and thirsty, longing, searching, grabbing, holding, ever losing and sorrowing, or go out whole-heartedly in search of the state of timeless perfection to which nothing can be added, from which nothing -- taken away. In it all desires and fears are absent, not because they were given up, but because they have lost their meaning.

~ from 'I Am That', ch.69
