I found myself without desires and without knowledge. There was nothing left but love, the state of witness was left behind; there was only love, all pervading, all embracing, absolute. There were no crucial experiences, no soul-shattering visions. I just ceased imagining myself to be what I never was and there was nothing to replace the unreal with. There was no need to look for replacements - the nothingness was the fullness of understanding, love and silent peace. #SriNisargadattaMaharaj

One should be capable of forgetting things. That is far more important than the capacity to remember things. Remembrance is very ordinary; forgetfulness is unique. And many people suffer from remembrance. Remembrance is like going on playing with your wounds so you never allow them to heal. The healing comes through forgetfulness. Forgetfulness is healing - and if you can forget the past you are forgiving the past. #OSHO

A true spiritual partner is one who encourages you to look deep inside yourself for the beauty and love you've been seeking. A true teacher is someone who helps us discover the teacher in yourself. #ThichNhatHanh

The kingdom of heaven is as close as a quiet mind. Silence reveals the wisdom aspect of Consciousness, Peace, Freedom, Happiness, Bliss, Grace Itself, and everlasting Love. Surrendering your life to That unveils eternity. #Padma

The mind should not be allowed to wander towards worldly objects and what concerns other people. #SriRamanaMaharshi

This is the experience of all the buddhas. There is no peace anywhere. Everything is as if it is on fire, and all that you need to do is to jump out of this fire. Your jealousy is fire, your anger is fire, your fear is fire, your love is fire - all that you are living is nothing but a house on fire. Every moment there is anxiety, every moment there is anguish. #Osho

All human beings are Buddha by nature. Like ice by nature it is water. There is no ice without water. No Buddha without human being. #HakuinEkaku

I used to sit for several hours at a time with nothing but 'I Am' in my mind, and in a short time, a peace, joy and a deep, comprehensive love became my normal state. In Him everything disappeared - me, my Guru, the life I lived, the world around me. Only peace and unfathomable silence left. #NisargadattaMaharaj

It will come all right in the end. There is the steady impulse of your determination that sets you on your feet again after every downfall and breakdown. Gradually the obstacles are all overcome and your current becomes stronger. Everything comes right in the end. Steady determination is what is required. #SriRamanaMaharshi

Nothing is softer or more flexible than water, yet nothing can resist it" #LaoTzu

He is truly rich who is fully contented He has won the world who has won his mind. #AdiShankaracharya

You are perfect, only you don't know it. Learn to know yourself and you will discover wonders. All you need is already within you, only you must approach yourself with reverence and love. Self-condemnation and self-distrust are grievous errors. Your constant flight from pain and search for pleasure is a sign of the love you bear for yourself. All I plead with you is this: make love of yourself perfect. Deny yourself nothing. Give yourself infinity and eternity and discover that you do not need them; you are beyond! #SriNisargadattaMaharaj

If seekers are advised to meditate, many may go away satisfied with the advice. But someone among them may turn around and ask, 'Whoam I to meditate on an object?' Such a one must be told to find the Self. That is the finality. That is vichara. #SriRamanaMaharshi

Gratitude is the greatest prayer. Thank you is the greatest mantra.

The Truth is so innate, natural and pure it doesn't need to be taught or learned. It needs only to be pointed out, recognized and confirmed inside your Heart. #Mooji

A true teacher does not become your master They lead you to your own light.

When you meditate, you do it for the whole of society. You seek solutions to your problems not only for yourself but for all of us. #ThichNhatHanh
