Truth is very simple, don't complicate it.
You must be in the Light to know the darkness:
Just be aware of yourself, the Light.
Jump into the fire of Knowledge
and don't be concerned with what will happen
to your clothing of concepts and vasanas.
This fire will burn all

- Papaji

Awakening

Daylight breaks
The mind is stilled
Silent, at peace
Movement nil.

No pebble drops into its pool
No ever widening ripple
A placid mirror lake
untouched by thought
Serenity stands on its shore to watch.

The sun appears.
Rays of pure light
Engulf the landscape mind
And in the vanished scene
Birds sing for all mankind.

"Awakening" hand written by Robert November, 1994

Reality Manifests When You Let Go Of All Beliefs

Commonsense too will tell you that to
fulfill a desire you must keep your mind
on it. If you want to know your true
nature, you must have yourself in mind
all the time, until the secret of your
being stands revealed.

- Nisargadatta Maharaj

Row Row Row Your Boat

There is neither creation nor destruction,
neither destiny nor free will,
neither path nor achievement;
this is the final truth.

- Ramana Maharshi

God, who is immanent, in his grace takes
pity on the loving devotee and manifest himself
according to the devotee's development. The
devotee thinks that he is a man and expects a
relationship between two physical bodies. But
the Guru who is God or the Self incarnate works
from within, helps the man to see the error of
his ways and guides him on the right path until
he realises the Self within.

- Sri Ramana Maharshi

All spiritual teachings are only
meant to make us retrace
our steps to our
Original Source
We need not to acquire anything new, only give
up false ideas and useless accretions.
Instead of doing this, we try to grasp something
strange and mysterious because we believe happiness
lies elsewhere. This is a mistake

- Ramana Maharshi

Effort is necessary up to the state of
realization. Even then the Self should
spontaneously become evident, otherwise
happiness will not be complete. Up to
that state of spontaneity there must be
effort in some form or another.

There is a state beyond our efforts or
effortlessness. Until it is realized
effort is necessary. After tasting such
bliss, even once, one will repeatedly
try to regain it. Having once experienced
the bliss of peace no one wants to be out
of it or to engage in any other activity.
