Alrighty then

[Guest guest]

The world is the mountain,

and each action, the shout that echoes back.

 

~Rumi

 

 

Before the beginning you are pure Consciousness.

You are the Fullness of Love in Love

and the Emptiness of Awareness.

You are Existence and the Peace beyond peace.

You are that screen on which all is projected.

You are the Light of Knowledge,

the One who gave the concept of creation to the creator.

Forget what can be forgotten and know yourself

to be that which can never be forgotten.

You are the substratum on which everything moves, let it move.

You are Now, you are Nowness:

what "I" is there which can be out of this Now?

You are Truth and only Truth Is.

 

~Papaji

 

 

Emotional reactions, born of ignorance or inadvertence, are

never justified. Seek a clear mind and a clean heart. All you

need is to keep quietly alert, enquiring into the real nature of

yourself. This is the only way to peace.

I wearied myself searching for the Friend

with efforts beyond my strength.

 

I came to the door and saw how

powerfully the locks were bolted.

 

And the longing in me became that strong,

and then I saw that I was gazing

from within the presence.

 

With that waiting, and in giving up all trying,

only then did Lalla flow out

from where I knelt.

Liberation is our very nature. We are that. The very fact

that we wish for liberation shows that freedom from all

bondage is our real nature. It is not to be freshly acquired.

All that is necessary is to get rid of the false notion that we

are bound. When we achieve that, there will be no desire

or thought of any sort. So long as one desires liberation,

so long, you may take it, one is in bondage.

 

~Sri Ramana Maharshi
