Quotes from Osho, Eckhart Tolle, Jiddu Krishnamurti, Lao Tzu, Alan Watts, Sadhguru, Thich Nhat Hanh, Mojo, Neale Donald Walsch and other writers.
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. 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. – Papaji
Mediocre people always think they are practical. But actually, they don’t have the courage to attempt anything else. If “who you are” is enhanced, everything you do is enhanced. – Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev
What is possible and what is not is not your business. Nature will decide this. Your business is just to work for what truly matters yo you. – Sadhguru
A great deal of what people say, think, or do is actually motivated by fear, which of course is always linked with having your focus on the future and being out of touch with the Now. As there are not problems in the Now, there is no fear either. – Eckhart Tolle
Know who you are, Here and Now, by simply Being Quiet.
You are this moment, introduce yourself to This,
do not attach your mind to any direction.
No past, no future,
not even emptiness of your heart, not even space.
To be free forever introduce yourself to this Moment.
This Moment is always this Moment, It will not change.
It is Freedom, free from mind and concepts,
and is your fundamental birthright.
The best use of this Moment is to drown in It.
Keep Quiet, you are inside of the inside,
do not dwell anywhere and make no effort.
The concept of effort and practice is bondage.
Just keep Quiet, Wherever you are, Just keep Quiet. – Papaji
Life is not that complicated. You get up, you go to work, eat three meals, you take one good shit and you go back to bed. What’s the fucking mystery? – George Carlin
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
The greater part of human activity is designed to make permanent those experiences and joys which are only lovable because they are changing. – Alan Watts
Don’t run at projections on the screen, be very wise.
Do not lose your peace at any cost.
Things will rise and fall so do not be caught!
Peace is most important.
Here in this moment there is no problem
and daily life is within this moment, you cannot walk out of it.
Just try to invite past and future problems into this moment.
They cannot touch Here so do things of Now Now,
and do not touch yesterday or tomorrow.
Remove all becoming, you are Being.
Becoming is effort, Being is no effort.
You are always That so be like the breeze
that is attached to neither the garbage nor the garden
that it blows over. – Papaji
Tears filled eyes are capable of seeing the beauty of life and the other of it. A man can see further through a tear than a telescope. – Bruce Lee. (Photo: Mooji)
