Advaita Quotes

“One thing: you have to walk, and create the way by your walking; you will not find a ready-made path. It is not so cheap, to reach to the ultimate realization of truth. You will have to create the path by walking yourself; the path is not ready-made, lying there and waiting for you. It is just like the sky: the birds fly, but they don't leave any footprints. You cannot follow them; there are no footprints left behind.”
― Osho

“It is only through silent awareness that our physical and mental nature can change. This change is completely spontaneous. If we make an effort to change we do no more than shift our attention from one level, from one thing, to another. We remain in a vicious circle. This only transfers energy from one point to another. It still leaves us oscillating between suffering and pleasure, each leading inevitably back to the other. Only living stillness, stillness without someone trying to be still, is capable of undoing the conditioning our biologoical, emotional and psychological nature has undergone. There is no controller, no selector, no personality making choices. In choiceless living the situation is given the freedom to unfold. You do not grasp one aspect over another for there is nobody to grasp. When you understand something and live it without being stuck to the formulation, what you have understood dissolves in your openness. In this silence change takes place of its own accord, the problem is resolved and duality ends. You are left in your glory where no one has understood and nothing has been understood.”
― Jean Klein, I Am

“It [realization of Oneness] means being constantly open to the possibility that we are like two flowers looking at each other from two different branches of the same tree, so that if we were to go deep enough inside to the trunk, we would realize that we are one. Just being open to this possibility will have a profound effect on your relationships and on your experience of the world.”
― Francis Lucille, The Perfume of Silence

“Have you ever seen a stereogram?
The 'Truth' the Stereogram shows us is there in front of us. Training and work doesn't make us see it.
It's a point of view, a different way of looking at it.
When you see it you try to explain it to someone else and you
realize you can't.
It simple, super simple, yet almost impossible to explain.
There are 'techniques' to see them but some people may spend
years trying without results. Others can do it in seconds.
It doesn't change the fact that the image is there all the time in
front of us.
And it's Beautiful.”
― T.R. Cordón, GLIMPSES OF HER

“Sapiosultan (The Sonnet)

They ask me, do I believe in destiny?
Sure, I do - you are looking at it.
I am destiny - of you - of the world,
I am the destiny of entire humanity.

I am the bridge - between everything -
science, poetry, philosophy - everything.
Between everything and everyone -
I am the bridge between hearts still beating.

I am not a servant to the field,
I am a servant to the valley -
the valley of life and light -
beyond the squabbles of dead sanity.

Who am I - or better yet, what am I?
I am but a spark of reason tempered by warmth,
I am but a spark of boldness tempered by humility,
I am but a spark of justice tempered by conscience.

I am neither man nor woman,
I am neither mind nor machine,
I am neither head nor heart,
I am neither spine nor spleen.

I am but that - that one ceaseless truth,
aspiring across all fallacies untrue.
I am but that - that one untainted light,
shining as proof of time yet to come true.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Bulletproof Backbone: Injustice Not Allowed on My Watch
