'Waking' and 'sleeping' are a pair of relative and interdependent counterparts, inseparable and only negatively veridical - veridical in mutual negation." ~ T. J. Gray In life nothing can be had without over-coming obstacles. The obstacles to theclear perception of one's true being aredesire for pleasure and fear of pain. Itis the pleasure-pain motivation thatstands in the way. The very freedomfrom all motivation, the state in whichno desire arises is the natural state.~ Nisargadatta Maharaj The serene life is not subject to emotionalcrisis. It has clearly worked out, in the hoursof contemplation, its wise attitude towards lifeand men so that no situation that arises cansweep it off its feet.~ Paul Brunton * "'The cause, displaced in time and space, appears as its effect.'(The Nirvana Prakarna of the Maha Ramayana). Death, therefore,appears as a space-time effect of birth." ~ T.J. Gray It is God who yawns and sneezesand coughs, and now laughs.Look, it's God doing ablutions!God deciding to fast, God going nakedfrom one New Year's Eve to the next.Will you ever understandhow near God isto you?~ Lalla It is false to speak of realization. What isthere to realize? The real is as it is always.We are not creating anything new or achievingsomething which we did not have before. Theillustration given in books is this. We dig awell and create a huge pit. The space in thepit or well has not been created by us. Wehave just removed the earth which was fillingthe space there. The space was there then andis also there now. Similarly we have simplyto throw out all the age-long samskaras [innatetendencies] which are inside us. When all ofthem have been given up, the Self will shine alone.~ Sri Ramana Maharshi O tongue, you are an endless treasure.O tongue, you are also an endless disease.~ Rumi The meaning of life is that life has nomeaning other than the living of it as adream over which one has really nocontrol.~ Ramesh S.
