Until Grace fully descends ...
Just start NOTICING how every single moment is PERFECT.
All metaphysical discussion is profitless unless it causes us to seek within the Self for the true reality. All controversies about creation, the nature of the universe, evolution, purpose of God, etc., are useless. They are not conducive to our true happiness. Ramana Maharshi
It is never late to ask yourself “Am I ready to change my life, am I ready to change myself?” However old we are, whatever we went through, it is always possible to be reborn. If each day is a copy of the last one, what a pity! Shams of Tabrizi
Why are you anxious? What you seek is that which is already at hand, ever existent. Ramana Maharshi
You have to be your self without the help of books, teachers, systems, governments, or religions. You have to step out of that rut of your conditioning. Become totally unconditioned, as if you were just born. Reading too many books simply adds to the confusion. Robert Adams
You need not cease thinking. Only think of the root of the thoughts; seek it and find it. The Self shines by itself. When that is found, the thoughts cease of their own accord. That is freedom from bondage. Ramana Maharshi, Talk 524
We are always in transition. If you can just relax with that, you'll have no problem. Chogyam Trungpa
Grace is always flowing. It is not an occasional thing. It is causeless and flows forever. It can be experienced by those who meditate. Ramana Maharshi
However old we are, whatever we went through, it is always possible to be reborn. If each day is a copy of the last one, what a pity! Every breath is a chance to be reborn. But to be reborn into a new life, you have to die before dying. Shams of Tabrizi
Once you realize that all happens by itself (call it destiny, or the will of God, or mere accident), you remain as witness only, understanding & enjoying, but not perturbed. You are responsible only for what you can change. All you can change is only your attitude. Nisargadatta
Reality is simply the loss of ego. Destroy the ego by seeking its identity. Because the ego is no entity it will automatically vanish and reality will shine forth by itself. Ramana Maharshi
