Nirvana Quotes

“Believing is not the same as knowing. Believing is second-hand knowledge, whereas knowing is first-hand experience. When your action comes from a level of belief, there is fear, doubt and restlessness behind such action. When your action comes from a level of knowing, there is conviction, certainty and calm behind such action.”
― Yogi Kanna, Nirvana : Absolute Freedom

“Meditation is not a means to an end. Meditation is simply being who you are. Meditation is the rigorous refusal to identify yourself with who you are not.”
― Yogi Kanna, Nirvana : Absolute Freedom

“Peace-Freedom-Joy is your natural state of being. You get a glimpse of this self-content and peaceful state during deep sleep. When you want something that you already have, you lose awareness of what you already have. When you lose awareness of what you have, it is like not having it at all! So whenever we seek peace, we end up feeling worried; whenever we seek freedom and security, we end up feeling insecure; whenever we seek joy, we end up feeling depressed.”
― Yogi Kanna, Nirvana : Absolute Freedom

“When you are at unease with ‘what is,’ you experience suffering; when you are at ease with ‘what is,’ you experience peace; and when you are in love with ‘what is,’ you experience bliss.”
― Yogi Kanna, Nirvana : Absolute Freedom
