Guest guest Posted August 29, 2002 Report Share Posted August 29, 2002 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 LoveAlways, Mazie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
