Into the forest I go
to lose my mind
and find my soul

[Temet Nosce @GnothiSea]

Whatever you come across, go beyond.

Nisargadatta, I Am That, Chapter 53

[Temet Nosce @GnothiSea]

Welcome all that comes with a glad and thankful heart. And love all creatures. This too will take you to your self.

Nisargadatta

[Zen masters @Zenm001]

The art of being a sage is to balance the wonder and terror of being alive.

- Zen teaching

[Zen masters @Zenm001]

To see form, but not be clouded by form,

Or to hear sound but not be clouded by sound, is liberation.

- Bodhidharma

[Temet Nosce @GnothiSea]

When the mind, which is the cause of all cognition and all actions, becomes still, the world will disappear.

Ramana Maharshi

[Nisargadatta Maharaj @Nisargadatta_M]

You alone can undo the evil you have created. Your own callous selfishness is at the root of it. Put first your own house in order and you will see that your work is done.

[Amoda Maa @AmodaMaa]

The light within you, when resolutely recognized in all circumstances, has the capacity to embrace everything.

This uncompromising acceptance is your true nature. It is the unbounded space of consciousness that is here, beyond the story of who you think you are.

[Nisargadatta Maharaj @Nisargadatta_M]

The world problems were created by numberless people like you, each full of his own desires and fears. Who can free you of your past, personal and social, except yourself? And how will you do it unless you see the urgent need of your being first free of cravings born of illusion?

[Temet Nosce @GnothiSea]

You are not the body nor the mind, not even their witness, but altogether beyond.

Nisargadatta

[Temet Nosce @GnothiSea]

If you cultivate the attitude of indifference towards the mind,
gradually you will cease to identify with it.

Annamalai Swami

[Nisargadatta Maharaj @Nisargadatta_M]

Every situation is a challenge which demands the right response. When the response is right, the challenge is met & the problem ceases. If the response is wrong, the challenge is not met & the problem remains unsolved. Your unsolved problems — that is what constitutes your karma.

“Your duty is to be minding your true nature, not finding fault with the world.”

~ Ramana Maharshi

[RamanaEssence @RamanaEssence]

“The thought ‘I have not realized’ is a hindrance to realization. In fact, you are already realized. There is not a single moment when the Self is not present.”

~ Ramana Maharshi

[Amoda Maa @AmodaMaa]

Surrender is often misunderstood. It is not giving up—it is the willingness to stop fighting life. In this softening, we discover that life itself is carrying us.

[RamanaEssence @RamanaEssence]

“If the ego does not rise, the Self alone exists and there is no second.”

“When the mind, which is the cause of all cognition and all actions, becomes still, the world will disappear.”

~ Ramana Maharshi

[Temet Nosce @GnothiSea]

Look at your mind dispassionately; this is enough to calm it. When it is quiet, you can go beyond it. Do not keep it busy all the time. Stop it, and just be.

Nisargadatta Maharaj

[Temet Nosce @GnothiSea]

Think of that which is the center of the cosmos; don’t let your attention stray in any way from this knowledge of beingness, “I Am.”

Nisargadatta Maharaj

[Temet Nosce @GnothiSea]

In awareness you grow.

Nisargadatta

[Temet Nosce @GnothiSea]

If you detach yourself from the identification with the body, and remain relaxed in, and as Consciousness, you will, this very moment, be happy, at peace, free from bondage.
