Unlimited resources

“When you work in the inner mind, you invoke and receive the help of the impersonal, unlimited resources of the universe.”

— Roger McDonald

“Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.” 
― Mother Teresa 

“Everything starts as somebody’s daydream.”

– Larry Niven

“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

— Maya Angelou

“Meditation does not mean concentration, it does not mean contemplation: it means getting beyond the mind. Concentration, contemplation, are both of the mind. Meditation means getting unidentified with the mind, seeing the mind as separate, knowing the mind as separate, witnessing the mind but not getting identified with it. Slowly slowly as witnessing grows, the distance grows between you and the mind. Soon the mind is a faraway echo, and finally you cannot even hear the echo; then you are left utterly alone.” 

― Osho

 — Nirmala

The deeper your watchfulness becomes, the deeper your awareness becomes, and gaps start arising, intervals. One thought goes and another has not come, and there is a gap. One cloud has passed, another is coming and there is a gap. In those gaps, for the first time you will have glimpses of no-mind, you will have the taste of no-mind. Call it taste of Zen, or Tao, or Yoga. In those small intervals, suddenly the sky is clear and the sun is shining. Suddenly the world is full of mystery because all barriers are dropped. The screen on your eyes is no more there. 

– Osho

“Remember, we are all affecting the world every moment, whether we mean to or not. Our actions and states of mind matter, because we’re so deeply interconnected with one another. Working on our own consciousness is the most important thing that we are doing at any moment, and being love is the supreme creative act. “

— Ram Dass

When you follow your bliss, you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while waiting for you, and the life you ought to be living is the one you are living.  When you can see that, you begin to meet people who are in the field of your bliss, and they open the doors to you.  I say, follow your bliss and don’t be afraid, and doors will open where you didn’t know they were going to be. If you follow your bliss, doors will open for you that wouldn’t have opened for anyone else.

— Joseph Campbell

“In awareness there is no becoming, there is no end to be gained. There is silent observation without choice and condemnation, from which there comes understanding.  In this process when thought and feeling unfold themselves, which is only possible when there is neither acquisition nor acceptance, then there comes an extensional awareness, all the hidden layers and their significance are revealed.”

— Jiddu Krishnamurti

“All the Buddhas of all the ages have been telling you a very simple fact: Be – Don’t try to become. Within these two words, be and becoming, your whole life is contained. Being is enlightenment, becoming is ignorance.”

— Osho

“The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers.”

— Thich Nhat Hanh 

Complete surrender does require that you have no desire of your own. You must be satisfied with whatever God gives you and that means having no desires of your own.

— Ramana Maharshi 

“Sweep away the clutter of things that complicate our lives.”

— Henry David Thoreau 

How do you know “being fully awakened” does not look exactly like THIS moment?

— Michael Jeffreys

Be still and play the music of your soul ॐ ♥♥♥

“The divine music is incessantly ringing within all of us, but the loud senses drown the delicate music, which is unlike and infinitely superior to anything we can perceive with our senses.”

– Mahatma Gandhi 

“Bliss is a thing which is always there and is not something which comes and goes. That which comes and goes is a creation of the mind.”

–  Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi
