spirituality

Almost all sadness comes from thinking about the past, and all worry from thinking about the future _ present-mindedness is your only safe haven.

Only when the seeker is lost, the truth is there. Seek, and you will miss. Seek not, and you will find. The very seeking becomes a barrier to truth, to the ultimate experience.

When we constantly meditate on another's faults, it is because we are neglecting our own unhealed wounds.

Look deeply at yourself, and see in yourself the divine architect's incomprehensible art!

Realization includes everything, the mundane and the transcendental. In true awakening, nothing stands apart and nothing is excluded. If we find ourselves in a state where something is excluded, that state, however amazing it is, is still a dualistic state.

God does not live in idols and temples either_of course, idols and temples are some of the ways that remind us of God__ existence. But as you grow up in spirituality, you need to embrace and experience God__ presence through deeds of nature and knowledge of meditation.

Observing is not just seeing. It is watching with attention.

Not knowing anything, not searching for anything, understanding that we can__ hold on to anything, leaves us with nothing _ nothing except our original nature, pure awareness.

Make your life a prayer. Live your mediation.

Realization is not about you, the wave, realizing it is ocean. The ocean realizes itself in you and reveals itself to have never been just a wave. Nothing changes except the falling away of a false belief.

We truly help others working on ourselves. When it comes from the knowledge that the only power we have is over our own choices, we do not struggle taking responsibility for what is not ours to be responsible for. When we choose to be happy our joy works like a lighthouse. The lighthouse does never guide ships to its own light. It always leads them to the safe harbour. Yet it is their choice, whether they want to follow the light or something else.

No church or synagogue pew can produce a higher awareness of God than sitting at the base of a tree and observing His creation.

Deep within ourselves, we find the inner being, the inner source of love, which is our true nature. Love is the only reality, because only love works.

Awareness is that which is reading these words right now, whatever __hat_ is. You know without a doubt that there is something reading these words right now and awareness is precisely what that is.

Words are the fallen ruins of silent majesty.

Being enlightened ironically means realizing that there is no separate entity that can be enlightened or unenlightened.

True freedom is when all the stories, all the insights, all the realizations, concepts, beliefs and positions dissolve. What remains is what you are; a vast, conscious, luminous space simply resting in itself, not knowing a thing, at the point where all things are possible.

The one who believes himself to be a person needs to try to find that person. This is a solution, an antidote, offered to a ghost that thinks it actually exists.
