Life teaches where all else fails. But the lessons of life take a long time to come. Much delay and trouble is saved by trusting and obeying.

~ Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Look at the content of your mind. You are what you think about. Are you not busy most of the time with your own little person and its daily needs? The value of regular mediation is that it takes you away from the humdrum of daily routine and reminds you that you are not what you believe yourself to be.

~ Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

The all-important word is ‘try’. Allot enough time daily for sitting quietly and trying, just trying, to go beyond the personality with its addictions and obsessions. Don’t ask how; it cannot be explained. You just keep on trying until you succeed.

~ Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

It was not religion that brought me to God, but solitude. The divine Presence came to me when I was alone, in the silence of my soul.

~ Beverly Lanzetta

I have enjoined you to behave as I behaved, but we must respond to the same Mind to do this.

~ Jesus, A Course in Miracles, Text 5.II.12

When you have learned how to decide with God, all decisions become as easy and as right as breathing. There is no effort, and you will be led as gently as if you were being carried down a quiet path in summer. Only your own volition seems to make deciding hard.

~ A Course in Miracles, Text 14.IV.6

“In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their minds and then believe them to be true.”  Buddha

There seem to be two kinds of searchers: those who seek to make their ego something other than it is, i.e. holy, happy, unselfish (as though you could make a fish unfish), and those who understand that all such attempts are just gesticulation and play-acting, that there is only one thing that can be done, which is to disidentify themselves with the ego, by realising its unreality, and by becoming aware of their eternal identity with pure being.

~ Wei Wu Wei

It is not for us to search, but to remain still; to achieve Immobility not Action.

~ Wei Wu Wei

The saint is a man who disciplines his ego. The sage is a man who rids himself of his ego.
