In marriage you are neither the husband nor the wife; you are the love between the two. You are the clarity and kindness that makes everything orderly and happy. The mystical is most practical, for it makes your life creatively happy
- Nisargadatta Maharaj
I am divine and nothing else.
I am Brahman the Absolute;
Misery and grief cannot touch me.
I am Existence-Knowledge-Bliss.
I am ever-free by nature.
O, my mind, say—Om; Tat Sat Om;
- Swami, Virajananda
Happy Mother’s Day 🌷
To all motherly figures who embody unconditional love—the quiet, divine force that nurtures, heals, and sustains life—I offer my deepest reverence and gratitude.
We love, we are loved, we are love itself ❤️

Man has a special function, which other creatures cannot fulfill. He can serve the earth by becoming a bridge for the higher energies. In order to fulfill his proper function, he needs to develop the connection between the body and the higher mind.
— Madame de Salzmann
The only way to influence people for the better is through your personal example. Harmony with the environment and harmony with others begin with a third harmony: harmony with ourselves.
— Eknath Easwaran
All the activities that the body is to go through are determined when it first comes into existence. It does not rest with you to accept or reject them. The only freedom you have is to turn your mind inward and renounce activities there.

The fate of this body is determined by the prarabdha-karma. What is not meant to happen will never happen; what is meant to happen will inevitably happen. This is certain. Therefore, the best path is to remain silent.
- Ramana Maharshi
Cease crouching at the gates of the world like a beggar with trembling hands outstretched.
Look down.
You are already seated upon a mountain of gold, whose light you have learned to call shadow.
Don't ignore the problem, but keep it light.
Take action with a smile.
Even when the problem is hard, it doesn't need to harden you.
Unknot yourself.
Body loose, head clear, and then take the first step.
Be happy in the doing.
- James Clear
It’s not about what we get at the finish line,
but who we become.
It’s not about counting success or failure,
but remembering who we are, regardless of the outcome.
Bhagavad Gita 2.47:
You have the right to work only, but never to its fruits.
Let not the fruits of action be your motive, nor let your attachment be to inaction.

In work and in life, we’re all supposed to get along. We’re supposed to have so much fun, like puppy dogs with our tails wagging. It’s supposed to be great living; it’s supposed to be fantastic.
— David Lynch
If you choose to be happy from now on for the rest of your life, you will not only be happy, you will become enlightened.
You don’t have to learn any scriptures or renounce the world. You just have to really mean it, regardless of what happens.
— Michael Singer
As you identify less and less with the ‘I,’ you will be more at ease with everybody and with everything.
You are no longer afraid of being hurt or not liked. You no longer desire to impress anyone.
Oh, what a relief. Happiness at last!
— Anthony de Mello
At any moment
If you can
Bring your awareness to your breath and body
Notice your thoughts and emotions
Let go of any resistance
You are experiencing stillness
Ram Dass explores the paradox of suffering a spiritual person lives with, the perfection of it all, better living through chemistry, how we’re touched by grace, and the path of service and love.🎧 https://t.co/QnB8NWuoHC

"The most important part of your journey is the step you're taking at this moment. And that's something to continuously realize and practice, because that's all there ever is." —Eckhart Tolle
