Nisargadatta

If you expect any benefits from your search, material, mental or spiritual, you have missed the point. Truth gives no advantage. It gives no higher status, no power over others; all you get is truth and the freedom from the false.

Meister Eckhart

There is a huge silence inside each of us that beckons us into itself, and the recovery of our own silence can begin to teach us the language of heaven.

Lakota Prayer

Great Mystery, Teach me how to trust my heart, my mind, my intuition, my inner knowing, the senses of my body, the blessings of my spirit. Teach me to trust these things so that I may enter my sacred space and love beyond my fear and thus walk in balance with the passing of each glorious sun.

The 10 Principal Upanishads

You cannot see the seer of the sight, you cannot hear the hearer of the sound. You cannot think the thinker of the thought. You cannot know the knower of the known. Your own self lives in the heart of all. Nothing else matters.

Mooji

From Whisper’s from Eternity by Yogananda

Oh Infinite!

Every reflection upon every surface is of You, but in no reflection can we see your enormity. If one could piece together every fragment, even then how pale the likeness.

My heart aches to dive deep below the shallow surface of things to catch a glimpse of your shining glory. Pull me under and away from the shallow and obvious. Render me senseless with the depths o you.

Then send me up with a choking gasp poised at the mouth of the eddy that I might pull into these arms all of this surface world and place it at Thy feet.

Asotoma Sadgamaya

Om
Lead me from the unreal to the real.
Lead me from darkness to light.
Lead me from death to immortality.
May peace be, may peace be, may peace be.

Rumi

You come to us
from another world

From beyond the stars
and void of space.
Transcendent, Pure,
Of unimaginable beauty,
Bringing with you
the essence of love

You transform all
who are touched by you.
Mundane concerns,
troubles, and sorrows
dissolve in your presence,
Bringing joy
to ruler and ruled
To peasant and king

You bewilder us
with your grace.
All evils
transform into
goodness.

You are the master alchemist.

You light the fire of love
in earth and sky
in heart and soul
of every being.

Through your love
existence and nonexistence merge.
All opposites unite.
All that is profane
becomes sacred again.
