The Guru's Grace (spiritual teacher) is both external and internal. From the outside, he pushes the mind inwards, and from the inside he pulls the mind towards the Self and helps it keep quiet. That is the grace. There is no difference between God, guru and Self. A guru's help is necessary and useful to start you on the inquiry, but you yourself must pursue it.
Be soulful.
Be kind.
Be in love.

Why traverse deserts, why confront the storm, if within you resides the formless Form?

If every day is an awakening, you will never grow old. You will just keep growing.

THE ESSENCE
THAT IS ETERNAL
YOU ARE THAT
The Chandogya Upanishad
Those who depart from this world without knowing who they are or what they truly desire have no freedom here or hereafter.
But those who leave here knowing who they are and what they truly desire have freedom everywhere, both in this world and in the next.
We cling to our point of view as though everything depended on it. Yet our opinions have no permanence. Like autumn and winter, they gradually pass away.
#Zhuangzi
Enlightenment simply means you disappear, you become the whole.
There is no question of separation or no separation.
There is no question of oneness, because even in the word oneness there hides behind it twoness.
#Osho
An intelligent person cannot be egotistic; it is impossible.
If your intelligence cannot show you the simple thing
that ego is a false phenomenon
then you don't have intelligence at all.
#Osho
Be true to the
moment, not to the plan.
#Mooji
Throw away all the maps because you are the goal...!
Maps can help if the goal is somewhere else;
maps cannot help if you are the goal...!
They may even distract you, because when you look at a map you cannot look at yourself,
Books cannot help,
because you are the truth...!
My love, stay here...!
Going in search of Self is illusion;
You are already the One Self..!
You will purchase the map,
Only to find you are already Here...!
#Mooji
He who gives himself up to the Self that is God
is the most excellent devotee.
#SriRamanaMaharshi
This Atma ( Self), hidden in all beings, does not shine forth; but it is seen by the people of subtle vision with a sharp subtle intellect.
#Kathopanishad
The eternal, unbroken, natural state of abiding in the Self is jnana. To abide in the Self you must love the Self. Since God is verily the Self, love of the Self is love of God; and that is bhakti. Jnana and bhakti are thus one and the same.
