I Am Boundless Space

I am boundless space.
The world is a clay pot.

This is the truth.

There is nothing to accept,
Nothing to reject,
Nothing to dissolve.

-Ashtavakra Gita 6:1

Unitive State

For aspirants who want to climb the mountain of spiritual awareness, the path is selfless work; for those who have ascended to yoga the path is stillness and peace. When a person has freed himself from attachment to the results of work, and from desires for the enjoyment of sense objects, he ascends to the unitive state.

-Bhagavad Gita 6:3-4

My Mind Fell Like a Hailstone

My mind fell like a hailstone
into the vast expanse of Brahman's ocean.
Touching one drop of it.
I melted away and became one with Brahman.
This is wonderful indeed!
Here is the ocean of Brahman,
full of endless joy.

- Adi Sankara

Seeing God in Everything

It is better to see God in everything than to try and figure it out.

-Neem Karoli Baba

The Cause of Delusion

Delusion arises from the duality of attraction and aversion, Arjuna; every creature is deluded by these from birth. But those who have freed themselves from all wrongdoing are firmly established in worship of me. Their actions are pure, and they are free from the delusion caused by the pairs of opposites.

-Bhagavad Gita 7:27-28

Meditation is Superior

Meditation is superior to severe asceticism and the path of knowledge. It is also superior to selfless service.

-Bhagavad Gita 6:46

The Formless Self Within Each One of Us

The guru is the formless Self within each one of us. He may appear as a body to guide us, but that is only his disguise.

-Ramana Maharshi
