From one point of view the present is shorter than a microsecond. From another, it embraces all eternity. – Alan Watts
The most enduring power happens from within. Life happens from within. How aware you are of it, decides the quality of your body, your mind, and your experience of life. – Sadhguru
Be as you are in whatever circumstances, just always Be. It doesn’t need any practice. Whatever you get by practice you will lose, but Being will never be lost because you will not get it by any experience or practice. It simply is, Simply Be.
Don’t stir your mind in Being, don’t think and don’t make effort. I will tell you how to be Being itself. No effort, no thinking. Avoid thinking and avoid not thinking. What is between these two? – Papaji
At every moment, we are in fact a different image. A different entity when mirroring, when hungry, when reading this. Every second we become different persons as we go through different states. All this complex and almost schizophrenic subconscious behaviour is the result of a vastly parallel distributed system in our brain.
There is no specific center of consciousness, the appearance of a unity is, in fact, each of these separate circuits enabled and being expressed at one particular moment in time. – Joseph E LeDoux
You are the unchangeable awareness in which all activity takes place. Always rest in peace. You are eternal Being, unbounded and undivided. Just keep quiet. All is well. Keep quiet here and now. Do not entertain any notions that you are in trouble. Be kind to yourself. Open to your heart and simply be. – Eckhart Tolle
Sit quietly and watch where the mind goes. If you observe it you will see that it is always running off to enjoy or suffer experiences that belong to the past and future. So, whenever you catch it doing this, bring it back to the present moment. In this present moment there are no dialogues going on. In this present moment there is nothing to control or repress.
You are not accidental. Existence needs you. Without you something will be missing in existence and nobody can replace it. That’s what gives you dignity, that the whole existence will miss you. Everything in the universe will feel a small place is vacant which cannot be filled by anybody except you. This gives you a tremendous joy, a fulfillment that you are related to existence, and existence cares for you. – Osho
