Bliss

You are the Self (Atman), and that is the "Essence of Bliss."
Happiness is the nature of our own Inner Being. If your mind is
content, then that contentment will be present in all outward
circumstances.

However, we get deluded when we think that we get
happiness from sense objects. This is a mistake that all are making.
How can you have sorrow if you are convinced that you are not a
body but only the Self? What will happen? No matter what you say or do, only that which is destined to happen will happen.
So, why should we worry?

Sadguru Sri Siddharameshwar Maharaj

Be calm

Ramana Maharshi said to me...

"The only spiritual life you need is not to react."

To be calm is the greatest asset in the world.
It's the greatest siddhi, the greatest power you can have.
If you can only learn to be calm you will solve every problem.
This is something you must remember.
When you are perfectly calm, time stops.
There is no time, karma stops, samskaras stop.
Everything becomes null and void.
For when you are calm you are one with the entire energy of the universe
and everything will go well with you.
To be calm means you are in control.
You're not worried about the situation, the outcome.
What is going to happen tomorrow.
To be calm means everything is alright.
There is nothing to worry about, nothing to fret over.
This is also the meaning of the biblical saying,
"Be still and know that I am God."

To be calm is to be still.

Life is waiting for you to smile

Our body has the capacity to sustain the vibrations of bliss and peace much longer than negative emotions. That is because positivity is in the centre of our existence.

The self

The Self

"When the person in the eye resides in the body,
he resides where the organ of sight
has entered into the Akasa (i.e. the pupil of the eye);
the eye is the instrument of seeing.
He who is aware of the thought:
Let me smell this,’ he is the Self;
the nose is the instrument of smelling.
He who is aware of the thought:
Let me speak,’ he is the Self;
the tongue is the instrument of speaking.
He who is aware of the thought:
Let me hear,’ he is the Self;
the ear is the instrument of hearing.
He who is aware of the thought:
‘Let me think this,’ he is the Self; the mind is his divine eye.
He, the Self sees all these desires in the World of Brahman through the divine eye, the mind and rejoices.
The gods meditate on that Self.
Therefore all worlds belong to them and all desires.
He who knows that Self and understands It
obtains all worlds and all desires."
Thus said Prajapati, yea, thus said Prajapati.

Ramana quotes

Sri Bhagavan: There is no karma without a karta (doer). On seeking for the doer he disappears. Where is Karma then?

(From 'Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi' 628)

Light

We are so engrossed with the objects,
or appearances revealed by the light,
that we pay no attention to the light.

.
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 _/\_

Realization

Realisation is not attained by going far,
but only by staying still;
not by thought,
but by cessation of thought.

~ Tripura Rahasya, Chapter IX, v.81
