“We become aware of the void as we fill it.”
― Antonio Porchia

"... To know the self as the only reality and all else as temporal and transient is freedom, peace and joy... Self -realization is beyond the mind... To know that the known cannot be me nor mine, is liberation enough. Freedom from self-identification with a set of memories and habits. To know the source as source and appearance as appearance, and oneself as the source only is self-realization... Just as every wave subsides into the ocean, so does every moment return to its source. Realization consists in discovering the source and abiding there....

Experience, however sublime, is not the real thing. By its very nature it comes and goes. Self-realization is not an acquisition. It is more of the nature of understanding. Once arrived at, it cannot be lost. On the other hand, consciousness is changeful, flowing, undergoing transformation from moment to moment. Do not hold on to consciousness and its contents...

All experience is illusory, limited and temporal. Expect nothing from experience. Realization by itself is not an experience, though it may lead to a new dimension of experiences. Yet the new experiences, however interesting, are not more real than the old. Definitely realization is not a new experience. It is the discovery of the timeless factor in every experience. It is awareness, which makes experience possible. Just like in all the colors light is the colorless factor, so in every experience awareness is present, yet it is not an experience..."

Your mind will use any material from your life to draw your attention from the present moment. Mind does not exercise quality control; it will throw up stories and feelings from your past or imagined future to prevent you from directing your attention elsewhere. Mind constantly presents the past or future as present. ~ Jac O'Keeffe

Nothing outside of you has the power to impact on you in any way. It is your thoughts and ideas about the external world and your reactions to it that create the undesired effect. ~ Jac O'Keeffe

There is never a time when a desire must be fulfilled. This is simply a belief with strong identification that can develop into obsession. If fulfilled desires brought happiness, the world would be a more joyous place for all to live. If you are interested in liberation, then be prepared to drop your desires. ~ Jac O'Keeffe

The search for truth does not end in finding truth phenomenally: there is nothing gained anew in Self-realization. ~ Jac O'Keeffe

You do not need to leave your room....
Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait. Do not even wait, be quite still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked. It has no choice. It will roll in ecstasy at your feet.

Franz Kafka.

Of all things, good sense is the most fairly distributed: everyone thinks he is so well supplied with it that even those who are the hardest to satisfy in every other respect never desire more of it than they already have.

That's because everyone is the center of their universe.

"If you identify yourself with the Immaculate, Unchanging, Eternal Screen itself, which is the same before, during and after the show, you will not change and so you will not suffer the changes but enjoy them.

All Beings are this one immaculate screen. There is no need for practice to 'clean the dust' off it because it is beyond everything. The teachers who want you to do lifetimes of practice can clean this dust off their own minds."

~ Sri H.W.L. Poonja
