A true spiritual partner is one who encourages you to look deep inside yourself for the beauty and love you've been seeking. A true teacher is someone who helps us discover the teacher in yourself. #ThichNhatHanh

The Guru's Grace (spiritual teacher) is both external and internal. From the outside, he pushes the mind inwards, and from the inside he pulls the mind towards the Self and helps it keep quiet. That is the grace. There is no difference between God, guru and Self. A guru's help is necessary and useful to start you on the inquiry, but you yourself must pursue it.
God is in the heart and soul of every being.
#ParamahansaYogananda
The truth is that there is one Reality which is consciousness in the abstract and also transcendental, irradiating the whole universe in all its diversity from its own being, by virtue of its self-sufficiency, which we call Maya or Sakti or Energy. Ignorance lies in the feeling of differentiation of the creatures from the Creator. The individuals are only details in the same Reality.
#TripuraRahasya
All your seriousness is about sand castles. And you yourself will leave them one day, trampling them down, and you will not look back. The people who take it seriously miss the beauty of playfulness.

The man of Tao remains unknown.
Perfect virtue produces nothing.
"No-Self" is "True-Self" And the greatest man is
Nobody.
#ChuangTzu
Why do you run around
looking for the truth? Be still and there it is, in the mountain, in the pine, in yourself.
#LaoTzu
#SriRamanaMaharshi
Q.: Will the Maharshi express an opinion about the future of the world, for we are living in critical times?
M.: Why should you trouble yourself about the future?
You do not even properly know about the present!
Take care of the present;
the future will then take care of itself.
What we are all doing is, we realised or regard as real that which is unreal.
This habit of ours has to be given up.
