The fool thinks, "I am the body"; the intelligent man thinks, "I am an individual soul united with the body." But the wise man, in the greatness of his knowledge and spiritual discrimination, sees the Self as the only reality and thinks, "I am Brahman."

There is only one kind of love, and it is unconditional. If it’s not unconditional, it’s not love.

The future is already here; everything is contained in the eternal now or golden present. Like a river flowing, we see only a
section of time that is present to us. There’s no direction, no space, no
limitations—there is no time. It’s all one, eternal now. Swami Satchidananda

What is acceptance? How do I ‘do’ acceptance? Acceptance is not something we do. It’s a not doing. Not resisting what is. This very moment, just as it is, is what is. Allowing this moment to be, without resistance, is acceptance. After acceptance, real change can begin.

First we surrender our resistance, then we surrender the one who resists, then we surrender the surrendering. – Rupert Spira, The Heart of Prayer To continue reading, order your copy here: amzn.to/48WjGeT

You create your future by your thoughts now; if you think nobly, you will be noble in conduct. If you think basely no environment will make you different. Thus, thoughts and actions are interdependent. Be vigilant and allow only good thoughts in your mental field. - Saraswati

There is nothing in the world that you cannot know, when you know yourself. Once you are inwardly integrated, outer knowledge comes to you spontaneously. At every moment of your life you know what you need to know. - Nisargadatta.

The cub thought for a moment... "Maybe," he said quietly, "we each have our own gifts to offer the world, and we should celebrate them, rather than wishing we had someone else's.' Art by James Norbury

Thought is never free because it is based on knowledge, and knowledge is always limited. ~ J. Krishnamurti

Just as a centimeter measures distance, and has no tangible reality of its own, time measures change and has no tangible reality of its own. Time is a concept. What Is Now changes. The concept of time helps us speak about that, and slowly change our Now in accordance with that.

A person who thinks all the time has nothing to think about except thoughts. So, he loses touch with reality and lives in a world of illusions. Alan Watts

"There is no difference between the mind and the Self. The mind turned inwards is the Self; turned outwards, it becomes the ego and all the world. The cotton made into various clothes, we call by various names. But all the clothes are cotton.” ~ Sri Ramana Maharshi

Everything is God. God is all there is. There is only the ONE, and the ONE is everything that exists. You consequently have to start feeling this in your heart. For your heart center is omnipresence, all-pervading. It includes the whole universe. Robert Adams

The future is a concept, it doesn’t exist. There is no such thing as tomorrow. There never will be, because time is always now. That’s one of the things we discover when we stop talking to ourselves and stop thinking. We find there is only present, only an eternal now. Alan Watts

“Acceptance means: For now, this is what this situation, this moment, requires me to do, and so I do it willingly.” - Eckhart Tolle

The teaching that is written on paper is not the true teaching. ~ Shunryu Suzuki

Our bodies are not where we begin and end, and nature is not located outside of us. ~ Maurizio and Zaya

In other words, I am not my thoughts. I am that which is aware of those thoughts.
