Adhyashanti

When someone tells you, 'I love you,' and then you feel, 'Oh, I must be worthy after all,' that's an illusion. That's not true. Or someone says, 'I hate you,' and you think, 'Oh, God, I knew it; I'm not very worthy,' that's not true either. Neither one of these thoughts hold any intrinsic reality. They are an overlay. When someone says, 'I love you,' he is telling you about himself, not you. When someone says, 'I hate you,' she is telling you about herself, not you. World views are self views-literally.

​​Man was supposed to be the maker of his own destiny. It is partly true. He can make his destiny only in so far as he is allowed by the Great Power which overrides all our intentions, all our plans and carries out His Own plans. I call that Great Power not by the name of Allah, not by the name of Khuda or God but by the name of Truth. For me, Truth is God and Truth overrides all our plans. The whole truth is only embodied within the heart of that Great Power- Truth. I was taught from my early days to regard Truth as unapproachable- something that you cannot reach. A great Englishman taught me to believe that God is unknowable. He is Knowable to the extent that our limited intellect allows.

Bhagavad Gita As It Is by His Divine Grace Sri A.C Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada

Bhagavad-gita is knowledge of five basic truths and the relationship of each truth to the other: These five truths are Krishna, or God, the individual soul, the material world, action in this world, and time. The Gita lucidly explains the nature of consciousness, the self, and the universe. It is the essence of India's spiritual wisdom, the answers to questions posed by philosophers for centuries. 
In translating the Gita, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada has remained loyal to the intended meaning of Krishna's words, and thus he has unlocked all the secrets of the ancient knowledge of the Gita and placed them before us as an exciting opportunity for self-improvement and spiritual fulfillment.

Thich Nhat Hanh

We can use an example that is easy to understand, of a tangerine or a durian fruit. If there is a person who has never eaten a tangerine or a durian fruit, however many images or metaphors you give him, you cannot describe to him the reality of those fruits. You can only do one thing: give him a direct experience. You cannot say: "Well, the durian is a little bit like the jackfruit or like a papaya." You cannot say anything that will describe the experience of a durian fruit. The durian fruit goes beyond all ideas and notions. The same is true of a tangerine. If you have never eaten a tangerine, however much the other person loves you and wants to help you understand what a tangerine tastes like, they will never succeed by describing it. The reality of the tangerine goes beyond ideas. Nirvana is the same; it is the reality that goes beyond ideas. It is because we have ideas about nirvana that we suffer. Direct experience is the only way.

​​“Wisdom cannot be imparted. Wisdom that a wise man attempts to impart always sounds like foolishness to someone else … Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it.”

Rama-Sita meet in the garden and the story of King Nimi

अस कहि फिरि चितए तेहि ओरा। सिय मुख ससि भए नयन चकोरा।। भए बिलोचन चारु अचंचल। मनहुँ सकुचि निमि तजे दिगंचल।।

According to legends, King Nimi resides on the eyelids of all humans and that's why our eyes blink. When Rama visited Pushp Vatika, Sita and Ram had an eye contact and that's when Nimi left the eye of Sita, out of respect for Rama (who was going to be his son-in-law). Due to this, Sita's eye stopped blinking until the eye contact was changed. Nimi was the first king of the Videha kingdom and belonged to the Janaka lineage of Mithila.

​​Fear sees limits, while love sees possibilities. Each attitude will be justified by the belief system you cherish. Change your allegiance from fear to love, and love will sustain you wherever you walk. A Course in Miracles tells us, “Love cannot be far behind a grateful heart and thankful mind …These are the true conditions for your homecoming.”

Swami Paramananda

Every day we can keep the light burning within but when the light is burning we must not become so elated that we cease to be watchful. If we have something real and vital in our life, we cannot go astray. So long as we live in the spiritual depths of our being we are safe. When we live with an exalted spiritual Ideal constantly before us, our life will radiate power and the brightness of true joy.

Karma Yoga by Swami Vivekananda

There are several means of realizing God. The path of selfless work is one among them.

It shows the readers the technique of converting the mundane activities of everyday life into a means of attaining supreme felicity.

Jnana Yoga by swami Vivekananda

In the pages of this book one comes across a brilliant exposition of the philosophy of Vedanta and its practice through the method of enquiry and discrimination. These lectures were delivered by Swami Vivekananda at London and New York. The great Swami's exposition of this abstruse subject makes its comprehension easy even for an uninformed yet astute reader. Published by Advaita Ashrama, a publication centre of Ramakrishna Math, this is one of the best books dealing with the 'Path of Discrimination' for attaining the summum bonum of human life and hence very important, not only for the seekers of truth, but also for the academicians and students of Vedanta.

Bhakti Yoga by Swami Vivekananda

Love in its varied aspects is the motive force behind all the actions of living beings. But love takes its highest form when directed towards the God. Among the different paths leading man towards the attainment of the Supreme Truth is the one of love, devotion, and complete surrender. In this book published by Advaita Ashrama, a publication centre of Ramakrishna Math, Belur Math, India, Swami Vivekananda expounds how this path of Bhakti leads man to God. Being an exposition by one of the pioneers in the religious and spiritual realm of the modern times, the value of this work need not be emphasized. Lucid, simple, and to the point, the words of the Swami touch the hearts of the readers and puts them on to the divine path of love supreme.

Haemin Sunim

When we go through a difficult period in our lives, allowing our heart to trust the universe can be enormously helpful. Even if we don’t get the job this time, or are rejected by a romantic interest, we have faith that the universe will guide us to the right one soon. We can congratulate other people’s success because we know that we will have other opportunities to create our own version of success as well. We can choose to forgive those who have wronged us and move on because, once we do that, the universe will open a new chapter of our lives for us. Even if a family member or close friend passes away, we can trust that they aren’t alone and will be received by the universe with kindness and compassion.

Ramana Maharshi

​​A questioner said to Ramana, "I do not know how to read. How
can I realize?" Ramana said,

“A spiritual book is like asking you to see yourself in mirror. The mirror book reflects only what is on the face (in consciousness). If you consult the mirror after washing your face (realizing Self-awareness], the face will be shown to be clean (free of confusion).

"Otherwise, the mirror will indicate, "There is dirt here confusion; come back after washing clarity?"

"A book does the same thing. If you read the book after realizing the Self, everything will be easily understood.
But if you read it before realizing the Self, it will say,
'First, set yourself right; and then see me'.

"That is all. So: first, know the Self!"

​​“How does one seek union with God?”

“The harder you seek, the more distance you create between Him and you.”

“So what does one do about the distance?”
“Understand that it isn’t there.”

“Does that mean that God and I are one?”
“Not one. Not two.”

“How is that possible?”

“The sun and its light, the ocean and the wave,the singer and his song. Not one. Not two.”

​​When you wake in the morning, take your previous night's failures, dreaded dreams and darkness; stand before the sun. and make them a burnt offering into the sun's flames. Then, walk in light.

When you take a cleansing shower, let all the rivers of this earth and all the streams of solar lights dwell in the flowing waters. Make your mind so that all its impurities and petty malices are washed off and you emerge a newborn, to look at all things afresh. Then, walk in light.

Sitting for your meditations, take a breach of fire and burn your hidden, private, envious, ungenerous evil person, who is made up of wrong thoughts, false words, poisoned foods and undirected deeds. Yes, burn him inside you and with an expelled breath scatter his ashes to the winds. Then rise, and walk in light.

In the evening take your day's concerns and hurts, depressions and pleasures, and the shadows of falsehood; 
stand before the setting sun, and burn them in the flames.Then find your inner sun, and repose in its light. Even at night rest in light.
