Well then

[Guest guest]

Don't look for help from someone other

than yourself. The remedy for your wound

is the wound itself.

~Rumi

 

 

 

Whatever your name, Shiva, Vishnu,

the genius who inspired Scherazade,

savior of the Jains, the pure Buddha,

lotus-born God, I am sick. The world

is my disease, and You are the cure,

You, you, you, you, you, you, you.

 

~Lalla

 

 

 

Q: Does my realisation help others?

 

Yes, and it is the best help that you can

possibly render to others. But really there are

no others to be helped. For the realised being

sees only the Self, just as the goldsmith sees

only the gold while valuing it in various jewels

made of gold. When you identify yourself with

the body, name and form are there. But when

you transcend the body-consciousness, the

others also disappear. The realised one does

not see the world as different from himself.

 

~Sri Ramana Maharshi

 

 

 

 

Don't complain of affliction,

for it's a smooth-paced horse

carrying you towards non-existence.

 

~Rumi

 

 

 

 

In reality only the Ultimate is.

The rest is a matter of name and form.

And as long as you cling to the idea that only what has name

and shape exists, the Supreme will appear to you non-existing.

When you understand that names and shapes are hollow shells without

any content whatsoever, and what is real is nameless and formless,

pure energy of life and light of consciousness,

you will be at peace - immersed in the deep silence of reality.

 

~Nisargadatta Maharaj

 

 

 

Fearful, always-moving mind,

the One who has no beginning

is thinking of how hunger

may fall away from you.

 

No ritual,

no religion

is needed.

 

Just cry out one

unobstructed cry.

 

~Lalla
