The trance of separateness is
The jail.
The imagination is
The jailer.
When one no longer believes
What one imagines oneself to be,
The cell door opens and
The realization dawns that
A life filled up with being somebody is
An empty existence.
Wu Hsin
Nothing exists except the one reality. The one unity alone exists forever. All that you see depends on the seer. Apart from the seer, there is no seen.
Ramana Maharshi
Q: “The Supreme Spirit is Real. The world is illusion,” is phrase of Sankaracharya. Others say, “The world is reality”. Which is true?
Ramana Maharshi: Both statements are true. They refer to different stages of development and are spoken from different points of view.

It is the false identity of the Self with the body that causes the idea of preference, etc. Are you the body? Were you aware of it when you were fast asleep last night? No! What is it that exists now & troubles you? It is ‘I’. Get rid of it, and be happy.

The mind is made useful by its reflected light. It is used for seeing objects. When turned inwards, it merges into the source of illumination which shines by Itself, and the mind is then like the moon in the daytime.
Ramana Maharshi, Maharshi’s Gospel
The moon shines by reflecting the light of the sun. When the sun has set, the moon is useful for displaying objects. When the sun has risen, no one needs the moon, though its disc is visible in the sky. So it is with the mind and the heart.
Ramana Maharshi, Maharshi’s Gospel
After all, all the Yogas, whatever their source and character, have only one aim: to save you from the calamity of separate existence, of being a meaningless dot in a vast and beautiful picture.
Nisargadatta Maharaj, I Am That, Chapter 63
You must deal with the ‘I’-sense if you want to be free of it. Watch it in operation and at peace, how it starts and when it ceases, what it wants and how it gets it, till you see clearly and understand fully.
Nisargadatta Maharaj, I Am That, Chapter 63
Everyone is still looking for words. Words are meaningless. When you listen to words you're really taking the power away from yourself. You have all the answers. All you have to do is to become still long enough and everything will be revealed to you.
Robert Adams, Transcript 44
Yoga, drugs, drink, all the various stimulants, produce their own results, but they cannot possibly make the mind into that astonishing instrument of inquiry, search and discovery.
You go into a brand new dimension of nothingness. That’s where all the power is. That’s your real home. That’s where you really belong, in deep silence where there is no good and bad, no one trying to achieve anything. Just being, pure being.
Robert Adams
Silence is the ultimate reality. Everything exists in this world through silence. True silence really means going deep within yourself to that place where nothing is happening, where you transcend time and space. You go into a brand new dimension of nothingness.
Robert Adams
People are afraid that when ego or mind is killed, the result may be a mere blank. What really happens is that the thinker, the object of thought & thinking, all merge in one Source, which is Consciousness and Bliss itself, and thus that state is neither inert nor blank.
Ramana
@JioCare , I got in touch with support and instead of helping me they told me to disconnect the connection if I have so much problem, idk if that's how support works
Mind has neither birth nor death. Mind means the speech (thoughts). The mind becomes silent when the word-flow ceases. The word comes from space, mind comes through the word, and your behavior depends upon your mind. In fact, you are not the doer.

Radical cystectomy ( surgical removal of the bladder ) - The largest complication in all surgeries even more than pancreatectomies ( Whipple) which I used to do!
Imagine if we can avoid this surgery .
