truth

Osho Says:  "REMEMBER remain alert that you don’t get too much attached to the accidental -- and all is accidental except your consciousness. Except your awareness, all is accidental. 

Pain and pleasure, success and failure, fame and defamation -- all is accidental. Only your witnessing consciousness is essential. Stick to it! Get more and more rooted in it. And don't spread your attachment to worldly things. 

I don't mean leave them. I don't mean leave your house, leave your wife, leave your children -- but remember that it is just an accident that you are together. It is not going to be an eternal state. It has a beginning; it will have an end. Remember that you were happy even before it began; and you will be happy when it has ended. 

If you can carry this touchstone, you can always judge what is accidental and what is essential. That which is always is truth. That which is momentary is untrue."

doubter

All doubts will cease only when the doubter and his source are found. There is no use removing doubts. If we clear one doubt, another doubt will arise and there will be no end of doubts. But if the doubter is found to be really non-existent, by seeking for the source of the doubter, then all doubts will cease.- Ramana Maharshi ( Day by Day with Bhagwan-18-10-45)

“If you think it's more 'spiritual' to become a vegetarian, buy organic foods, practice yoga and meditate, but then you find yourself judging those who don't do all these things, you fell into an ego trap.

If you think it's more 'spiritual' riding a bike or public transport at work, but then you're judging those in the car, you fell into an ego trap.

If you think it's more 'spiritual' to stop watching TV because it cancels your brain, but then you're judging those who still look at you, you fell into an ego trap.

If you think it's more 'spiritual' to avoid reading newspapers and gossip magazines, but then you judge those who read them, you fell into an ego trap.

If you think it's more 'spiritual' listening to classical music or sounds of nature, but then you're judging who listens to commercial music, you fell into an ego trap.

You always have to be careful about the feeling of 'superiority.' It is the most important clue we have to realize that we are dealing into an ego trap. The ego is cleverly hidden in noble thoughts like to start a vegetarian diet or use the bicycle and then turn into a sense of superiority towards those who do not follow the same spiritual path."

When the aspiration for real becomes truly and firmly established , all lesser desire disappear.

Deepa-vali: The Self is the one Reality that always exists, and it is by the light of the Self that all other things are seen. We forget it and concentrate on the appearance. The light in the hall burns both when persons are present and when they are absent, both when persons are enacting something, as in a theatre, and when nothing is being enacted. 

-

It is the light which enables us to see the hall, the persons and the acting. We are so engrossed with the objects or appearances revealed by the light, that we pay no attention to the light. 

-

In the waking or dream state in which things appear, and in the sleep state in which we see nothing, there is always the light of Consciousness or Self, like the hall lamp which is always burning. 

-

The thing to do is to concentrate on the seer and not on the seen, not on the objects, but on the Light which reveals them.

~ Ramana Maharshi

do nothing to stop mind

"It has come to my attention that many of you are trying to stop your thoughts, control your thoughts. You cannot really do this. 

Trying to stop your thoughts, as Ramana Maharshi says, is like a thief becoming a policeman to catch the thief. In other words, the thief that becomes the policeman will not catch the thief, because he's a thief himself. And so it is with our minds. When we use the mind to stop the thoughts, the mind will not stop the thoughts at all, because the mind wants to go on living. Stopping the thoughts is annihilating the mind, and the mind does not wish to be annihilated. The mind wants to live on, to fill you full of nonsense, superstitions. Therefore we do not try to stop thoughts. What do we really do? We do absolutely nothing. By doing absolutely nothing, the mind will begin to slow down."
