“It is less what one is that should matter, than what
one is not. To acquire knowledge should not be our
first aim, but rather to rid ourselves of ignorance -
which is false knowledge. The qualities we possess
should never be a matter for satisfaction, but the
qualities we have discarded. ”
~Wei Wu Wei 'Fingers Pointing Towards The Moon'

"Enlightenment reveals that
the universe emerges
spontaneously. Its emergence
and pattern are perfect in
mathematics and symmetry
and involve no chance.
Nothing is random, everything
emerges exactly as it has to.
There is no random chance,
or evolution based on chance."

“When we talk about settling the world's
problems, we're barking up the wrong tree.
The world is perfect. It's a mess. It has always
been a mess. We are not going to change it.
Our job is to straighten out our own lives.”

Just who do you think you are?
Are you other than God?
Are you separate from Me?
If so...
What are you made of?
Where did it come from?"

… The Self never undergoes change; the intellect never possesses
consciousness. But when one sees all this world, he is deluded into thinking, “ I
am the seer, I am the knower.” Mistaking one’s Self for the individual entity, one
is overcome with fear. If one knows oneself not as the individual but as the
supreme Self, one becomes free from fear.
The entire universe is truly the Self. There exists nothing at all other than the
Self. The enlightened person sees everything in the world as his own Self, just
as one views earthenware jars and pots as nothing but clay.
~Shankara

When you say, “I am happy”, you are not happy, because
in this moment you have created a state of happiness.
When you are actually happy, you don't think of saying,
"I am happy", because in that moment of happiness
there is not a knower of the happiness, and you are in
your glory, your wholeness, your globality."
~Jean Klein 'Open to the Unknown'

"...Willpower should be
understood to be the strength
of the mind, which makes it
capable of meeting success
or failure with equanimity. It is
not synonymous with certain
success. Why should one's
attempts always be attended
by success? Success breeds
arrogance and man's spiritual
progress is thus arrested.
Failure, on the other hand, is
beneficial, inasmuch as it
opens his eyes to his
limitations and prepares him
to surrender himself. Self
surrender is synonymous
with eternal happiness."
