Wake Up Now Quotes

“Ultimately, your every desire—the desire for material things, relationships, career success, sexual gratification—is really the desire for the peace you experience for brief moments when you attain the object of your desire.”
― Stephan Bodian, Wake Up Now

“But awakening, once it occurs, tends to be ruthless and uncontrollable, like a wildfire that burns up everything in its path. “Spirituality isn’t child’s play,” warns Nisargadatta Maharaj. “My sentences will tear to pieces anyone who listens to them.” After all, what you awaken to is the truth, which shatters the illusion of who you’ve believed yourself to be. You might want to consider whether you’re ready to have your tidy little world torn to pieces or consumed in a conflagration before you set out to discover who you are. I’ve known many people whose lives were turned upside down by awakening and who spent years learning how to live in a completely new way.”
