God

God dwells in you, as you,
and you don't have to 'do' anything
to be God-realized or Self-realized,
it is already your true and natural state.

Just drop all seeking, turn your attention inward,
and sacrifice your mind to the One Self radiating
in the Heart of your very being.

For this to be your own presently lived experience,
Self-Inquiry is the one direct and immediate way."

~ Sri Ramana Maharshi

Spiritual awakening

Spiritual awakening is a remembering. It is not becoming something that we are not. It is not about transforming ourselves. It is not about changing ourselves. It is a remembering of what we are, as if we’d known it long ago and had simply forgotten. At the moment of this remembering, if the remembering is authentic, it’s not viewed as a personal thing. There is really no such thing as a “personal” awakening, because “personal” would imply separation. “Personal” would imply that it is the “me” or the ego that awakens or becomes enlightened.
But in a true awakening, it is realized very clearly that even the awakening itself is not personal. It is universal Spirit or universal consciousness that wakes up to itself. Rather than the “me” waking up, what we are wakes up from the “me.” What we are wakes up from the seeker. What we are wakes up from the seeking.

~ Adyashanti

Mind

You simply have to watch:
Where does mind arise from?
Where does thought come from?
What is the source of this thought?
Then you will see that you have always been Free
and that everything has been a dream.

~ Papaji

Experiences

Whatever experiences may arise,
allow them to be expressed. They flow
within the human expression of consciousness.
Let them be. Because when they have been
given the room to express themselves, then the
space behind, which is joyful, steady and tranquil,
will come to the front. Only don’t name this
enlightenment or feel that you’ve gained something.

Instead recognise and pay full attention to the
unchanging silence which is the substratum of
all that is appearing in the mind.
"White Fire" ~ Mooji

Being

The purpose of worshipping the Impersonal Supreme Being is the incessant remembrance of the truth that you are Brahman. ~ Sri Ramana Maharshi

Self remembrance

SELF-REMEMBRANCE

Remembering the Self, one’s real nature, without faltering even slightly,
is the eminent victory of true jnana.

With your consciousness hold fast to and never abandon the substratum, your real nature, the Supreme that can neither be held nor relinquished.

Is the Self something far away that you have to touch? The higher Self exists as one but it is only your thoughts that make you feel it is not.
You can neither think about it nor forget it.

Other than the thought of the Self, any other thought you may associate with, is a mere mental construct, foreign to that Self.

Thinking of the Self is to abide as that tranquil consciousness. Padam, the true swarupa, can neither be remembered nor forgotten.

The Self is self-luminous without darkness and light, and is the reality which is self-manifest. Therefore, one should not think of it as this or that.

All such thoughts would only end in bondage. The purport of meditation on the Self is to make the mind take the ‘form’ of the Self. In the middle of the heart-cave is the pure Brahman directly manifest as the Self in the form of ‘I-I’. Can there be greater ignorance than to think of It in manifold ways, without knowing it as aforementioned?

-Padamalai p 76, 77
