ShivAllahSita sutra 79

[Guest guest]

Meditation and self-discipline

are not all that's needed, nor even

a deep longing to go through

the door of freedom.

 

You may dissolve in contemplation,

as salt does in water,

but there's something more

that must happen.

 

~Lalla

 

Why desire at all? Desiring a state of freedom from

desire will not set you free. Nothing can set you

free, because you are free. See yourself with

desireless clarity, that is all.

 

~Nisargadatta Maharaj

 

Kriya Yoga for twenty-five years;

Linda Angel for three years plus 12,000;

b, the Beloved for one clear year, that's all.

Be interested in yourself beyond all experience,

be with yourself, love yourself; the ultimate

security is found only in self-knowledge. The

main thing is earnestness. Be honest with

yourself and nothing will betray you. Virtues

and powers are mere tokens for children to play

with. They are useful in the world, but do not

take you out of it. To go beyond, you need alert

immobility, quiet attention.

 

~Nisargadatta Maharaj

 

Enlightenment is merely an understanding in

which there is no comprehender. It is a surrender

in which there is no one to surrender anything.

 

~Ramesh S. Balsekar

 

Bhakta broke the seal of the Heart.

Jnana broke the seal of Self.

Silence broke the bowl of tradition.

 

~M

 

You live, you feel, you think. By giving attention

to your living, feeling and thinking, you free

yourself from them and go beyond them. Your

personality dissolves and only the witness

remains. Then you go beyond the witness. Do

not ask how it happens. Just search within yourself.

 

~Nisargadatta Maharaj

 

Absolute Presence is the ubiquitous eye that

measures the universe. It is the center of

infinity that sees everything and yet does not

see because it is the seeing itself.

 

~Ramesh S. Balsekar

 

In the eye of creation's electrical storm, this body,

the eye of the mind circles itself

motionless, centered, seeing.

 

~M

 

These forms are transient and to be attached to them

is to be confused. Anything that rises, be it thought,

desire, emotion, feeling or object will give you suffering

and no one in the world can avoid this. Both the

enjoyer and the enjoyed are washed away.

 

But the wise discriminate between the Real and the

unreal. They know what is Real and so allow their

feelings and thoughts to arise because they know all

is One and the same! In this way you will not suffer.

 

~Papaji

 

Be aware of being conscious and seek the

source of consciousness. That is all. Very

little can be conveyed in words. It is the

doing as I tell you that will bring light, not

my telling you. The means do not matter much…

 

~Nisargadatta Maharaj

 

Measuring words out weighs on the mind.

Meanings gleaned from words is a way-station to the Moonless state.

Why wait for words in order to walk through the bright, naked night?

 

~M
