InnerRealisation

That in which there is no question of form or formlessness, of beyond form and attributes, of transcending even the beyond – That alone is worthy of human aspiration.

– Anandamayi Ma

No matter how people attack you with ugly words or hatred, respond with kindness in your heart and speech. Sweetness of speech is a marvelous panacea, a magic power of soul magnetism. The way of a divine life is to be so secure in your determination to be good that no one can shake you from it. If in response to hateful behaviour only soothing kindness flows from your soul, you will be continually refilled by an inflow of God’s love, able to channel a divine flood of happiness to all. Apply that understanding to all troublesome trials, and each one will resurrect some dormant attribute of God’s image within you.

– Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda

Theoretical religion is only superficially satisfying; its supports give way under the stress of tests. True religion is the actual experience of God. Man came from God, but lost Him midst the dazzling desires of the world; and this loss is the cause of all human grief and suffering.
As man descended from transcendental Spirit into the body and the sensory world, when his life and consciousness flowed down and outward through the seven subtle cerebrospinal centers, the door to this inner kingdom leading back to God became locked by materialism. It cannot be opened by theorization and blind belief.
It is better to forge by scientific meditation the key of Self – realization, which alone will unlock the door to inner God -communion, rather than remain outside in material consciousness, unable to reach God with useless loud theological lamentations of dissatisfaction.
Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda

Freedom is the start of something
that Nobody knows:
there is no end to Satsang,
it is always new fathomless Bliss.

The firm conviction
that one is Existence-Consciousness-Bliss
is the end of the Teaching.
Yet there is a sacred secret beyond even this.
This sacred secret must be asked for in secret
and followed sacredly.

Constantly go to the Source.
Don´t even land in the Source,
but forever go deeper.
Still beyond It Is.

You have to take the last half step
from Peace-Awareness-Bliss
into the mystery beyond the mind.

~ Papaji

Believe me: what you will see with your inner eye is infinitely more beautiful than what you have seen so far with your external eyes. But as long as you are not ready to close the external eyes, the inner one will not open.

~ Sri Anandamayi Ma

If you give up all that you have read, heard,
seen, touched or tasted, freeing yourself from all
past notions. What will be left?
You alone will remain – that which you have always been,
what you will always be, and what you are now.

~ Papaji

“When women carrying jars of water on their heads, stop to talk, they are very careful, keeping their mind on the water jars. Similarly, when a sage engages in activity, his mind remains fixed in the Self and his activity does not distract him.”

Sri Ramana Maharshi

It isn’t necessary that you be with the guru and talk to him – just be mentally in tune. I feel and recognize the vibrations of those who are mentally in tune with me, wherever they may be. Those that come to me with a sincere heart will never be the same again. But you must not waste your time. Use this lifetime for finding God. There is no other purpose in life – we are here for that supreme realization.
Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda

All desires actually end in freedom. Your desire is fulfilled and you are empty. The emptiness brings you happiness, but it is unconscious. You attribute your happiness to a possession, not the emptiness. It is the freedom from desire that gives you happiness.

So long as mind’s movement does not turn within, it is impossible to find God. Therefore, try your utmost to make your mind look inwards. By becoming inward-tuned, God, who is enthroned on the lotus of your heart, will be revealed.
