“You asked me how to get out of the finite dimensions when I feel like it. I certainly don t use logic when I do it. Logic s the first thing you have to get rid of.”
“It is never too late to turn on the light. Your ability to break an unhealthy habit or turn off an old tape doesn t depend on how long it has been running; a shift in perspective doesn t depend on how long you ve held on to the old view. When you flip the switch in that attic, it doesn t matter whether its been dark for ten minutes, ten years or ten decades. The light still illuminates the room and banishes the murkiness, letting you see the things you couldn t see before. Its never too late to take a moment to look.”
“We all are so deeply interconnected; we have no option but to love all.”
“ In meditation we discover our inherent restlessness. Sometimes we get up and leave. Sometimes we sit there but our bodies wiggle and squirm and our minds go far away. This can be so uncomfortable that we feel’s it’s impossible to stay. Yet this feeling can teach us not just about ourselves but what it is to be human…we really don’t want to stay with the nakedness of our present experience. It goes against the grain to stay present. These are the times when only gentleness and a sense of humor can give us the strength to settle down…so whenever we wander off, we gently encourage ourselves to “stay” and settle down. Are we experiencing restlessness? Stay! Are fear and loathing out of control? Stay! Aching knees and throbbing back? Stay! What’s for lunch? Stay! I can’t stand this another minute! Stay!””
“Spirituality does not lie in meditating the body of an ex-master. Spirituality exists in mediating on your own inner body.”
“Mindfulness practice means that we commit fully in each moment to be present; inviting ourselves to interface with this moment in full awareness, with the intention to embody as best we can an orientation of calmness, mindfulness, and equanimity right here and right now.”
“The singing Sun the signing moon the singing stars and the singing galaxies are the direct expression of the divine word AUM.”
“The Way to do is to be.”
“We carry about us the burden of what thousands of people have said and the memories of all our misfortunes. To abandon all that is to be alone, and the mind that is alone is not only innocent but young -- not in time or age, but young, innocent, alive at whatever age -- and only such a mind can see that which is truth and that which is not measurable by words.”
“Meditation is the dissolution of thoughts in Eternal awareness or Pure consciousness without objectification, knowing without thinking, merging finitude in infinity.”
“Exercises are like prose, whereas yoga is the poetry of movements.”
“Yoga is not just repetation of few postures - it is more about the exploration and discovery of the subtle energies of life.”
“Meditate, Visualize and Create your own reality and the universe will simply reflect back to you.”
“Yoga is the cessation of the movements of the mind. Then there is abiding in the Seer s own form.”
“The practice of forgiveness is very much like the practice of meditation. You have to do it often and persist at it in order to be any good.”
“The crack in your heart allows light in. ~ GOOD FORTUNE page 238”
“Sit still with me in the shade of these green trees, which have no weightier thought than the withering of their leaves when autumn arrives, or the stretching of their many stiff fingers into the cold sky of the passing winter. Sit still with me and meditate on how useless effort is, how alien the will, and on how our very meditation is no more useful than effort, and no more our own than the will. Meditate too on how a life that wants nothing can have no weight in the flux of things, but a life the wants everything can likewise have no weight in the flux of things, since it cannot obtain everything, and to obtain less than everything is not worthy of souls that seek the truth.”
