Self-luminous Atman, by the power of its own Maya imagines itself in itself. He alone is aware of the objects. This is the conclusion of the Vedanta

The more expectations you have for a relationship, the more likely it is to go awry.
When a relationship feels difficult, examine it closely.
Might it be that one of you is expecting too much?

 “Before a dream is realized, the Soul of the World tests everything that was learned along the way. It does this not because it is evil, but so that we can, in addition to realizing our dreams, master the lessons we’ve learned as we’ve moved toward that dream. That’s the point at which most people give up.”
– The Alchemist

One day, I asked Granny, “Why do these snakes have to lose their skin?” Her reply was full  of wisdom. I realize now that she was speaking of more than snakes. 
“If snakes do not shed their skin,” she replied, 
“they cannot grow. They will suffocate in their old skin.” I often remember her words. Today we too need to grow.

An exceptional relationship is not
one with a good beginning
but one with a good ending.
Relationships often begin accidentally,
but when it comes to ending them,
we usually have choices.
Choose the ending wisely.

Only when the mind is still, tranquil, not expecting or grasping or resisting a single thing, is it possible to see what is true. It is the truth that liberates, not your effort to be free.

Sometimes, you just need to breath, trust, let go and see what happens.

— Spiritual Quote

@SpiritualLibrary @Spiritual_Library_bot

Sastric (scriptural) knowledge is unlimited, and the arts to be learned are many; the time we have is short, and our opportunities to learn are beset with obstacles. Therefore select for learning that which is most important, just as the swan drinks only the milk in water.

Chanakya

Emotions energize the area of focus. If you want to get somewhere in a hurry, just add some emotional energy to it. Emotion shortens the distance between the experience and the experiencer, between the dreamer and the desired.

The first veil to vanish is ignorance; and when that is gone, unskilful behavior goes; next desire ceases, selfishness ends, and all misery disappears.

— Upanishads

@SpiritualLibrary @Spiritual_Library_bot

Mindfulness gives you the inner space and quietness that allow you to look deeply, to find out who you are and what you want to do with your life. You won’t feel the need to make yourself run after meaningless pursuits anymore. You’ve been running, looking for something, because you think that thing is crucial for your peace and happiness. You push yourself to achieve this and that condition so that you can be happy. You believe you don’t have enough conditions to be happy right now, and so you develop the habit many people have, of constantly running after one thing or another. “I cannot be peaceful now, I cannot stop and enjoy things now, because I need more conditions before I can be happy.” You actually stifle the natural joie de vivre that is your birthright. But life is full of wonders, including wondrous sounds. If you can be here, if you can be free, then you can be happy right here and right now. You don’t have to run anymore.

What are you doing with your life by J Krishnamurti

Who are you?
What are you?
What do you want from life?

One of the world's great philosophical teachers, Krishnamurti, offers his inspiring wisdom on many of life's hurdles from relationships and love, to anxiety and loneliness.

He answers such questions as 'What is the significance of life?' and 'How do I live life to the full?' to reveal the best way of being true to yourself.

Read by millions from all walks of life, Krishnamurti shows us there is no path, no higher authority, no guru to follow, and that ultimately it is our own responsibility as to how we live our lives.

There is a flow to life that you can intuitively tune in to. When you surrender to this, you will be carried toward the people, places, and situations that you were meant to experience and learn from. Divine timing happens when you stay in touch with this flow.
Sometimes, though, divine timing may differ from your ego’s timing. If, according to your ego, a goal isn’t materializing quickly enough, be patient and trust the rhythms of your life. Trying to force matters or pressure people will usually backfire.

"Let noble thoughts come to us from every side." - Rigveda 1.89.1

अन्यदेवाहुर्विद्यया, अन्यदाहुरावृत्तिना।
इति शुश्रुम धीराणां ये नस्तद्विचचक्षिरे॥

(Anya devāhur vidyayā, anyadāhurāvṛttinā, Iti śuśruma dhīrāṇāṃ ye nastadvicacakṣire.)

Translation: "Let noble thoughts come to us from every side." - Rigveda 1.89.1

This verse highlights the importance of seeking knowledge and wisdom from various sources and perspectives. It encourages us to keep an open mind and to be receptive to new ideas and thoughts. By doing so, we can broaden our understanding of the world and gain greater insights into the nature of reality.

Let’s dive into boredom today, because it’s an interesting stance, kind of like a place where your interface with time has gone awry. Most people who are bored have suppressed their desires for so long that they feel trapped in a life that lacks any enthusiasm. Maybe during childhood, you wanted to go out and play but were forced to sit and practice piano. Now you resent it. Perhaps you love the outdoors but had to take a “job job” to pay the bills and got lulled into a dreary sleep. Maybe you’re depressed and feel no spark for anything. That’s also common.
Regardless of where you stand with boredom, today’s exercise is to get realigned with what you want to be doing with your life and find a way to integrate it into the life that you have no matter what. What did you enjoy doing as a young child? Where did you like to go and why? What used to impress or intrigue you and make you smile? Chances are you’ll still enjoy such things.

When your mind is liberated your heart floods with compassion: compassion for yourself, for having undergone countless sufferings because you were not yet able to relieve yourself of false views, hatred, ignorance, and anger; and compassion for others because they do not yet see and so are still imprisoned by false views, hatred, and ignorance and continue to create suffering for themselves and for others. Now you look at yourself and at others with the eyes of compassion, like a saint who hears the cry of every creature in the universe and whose voice is the voice of every person who has seen reality in perfect wholeness.
