The enlightened mind is like an unceasing flow and has no fixed abode. It does not identify itself with things and therefore there is no attachment. Such a mind is a liberated mind.

Alan Watts

We do not "come into" this world; we come out of it, as leaves from a tree. As the ocean "waves," the universe "peoples."
Every individual is an expression of the realm of nature, a unique action of the total universe.

Adya

Freedom is a state of complete and absolute insecurity and not knowing. So, in seeking security and safety, you actually distance yourself from the Freedom you want. There is no security in Freedom, at least not in the sense that we normally think of it. This is, of course, why it is so free; there's nothing there to grab hold of.

Chuang Tzu

The mind of a perfect man is like a mirror. It grasps nothing. It expects nothing. It reflects but does not hold. Therefore, the perfect man can act without effort.

Let the entire game happen on its own

Let the entire game happen on its own, springing up and falling back like waves and notice how everything vanishes and reappears, magically, again and again, time without end. ~unknown

Tishan

Drunk with let go
Lost into now
In the flow of life like a feather in the wind
Intensity
Eternity

Maitreya Ishwara

Have a close look at your teacher's suggestions and be aware of subtle embedded ‘shoulds’. Any subtle ‘should’ will allow your ego an escape route as it unconsciously recreates an idealized spiritual identity. You are perfect as you are now for the complex needs of the divine play. All growth happens by Grace, through the power of the One, not by adopting subtle idealistic spiritual ‘shoulds’ from your teacher.

Rumi

Not only the thirsty seek the water,
the water as well seeks the thirsty.

Here and Now

Q: There is statement Be Here and Now. What is Here, what is Now and what is Be?

A: Be is the link between the Here and the Now. Be is the presence of your Soul. The Here is simply the objective reality. The Now is the foundation of All. ~Anadi Kristof

Nisargadatta

In your world you are truly alone, enclosed in your ever-changing dream, which you take for life. My world is an open world, common to all, accessible to all. In my world there is community, insight, love, real quality; the individual is the total, the totality in the individual. All are one and the One is all.

Jump!

You can never go beyond mind if you go on using it.
You have to take a jump, and meditation means that jump.
That's why meditation is illogical, irrational.
And it cannot be made logical; it cannot be reduced to a reason.
You have to experience it.
If you experience, only then do you know.

.... The Only Place and Time!

HERE is the only place.
NOW is the only time!
There is no purpose in life.
Life is simply enjoying Itself, delighting Itself -
energy overflowing, dancing, for no purpose at all! ~Osho

Albert Einstein

Space and time are not conditions in which we live, they are modes in which we think.

Wu-men

If you understand the first word of Zen
You will know the last word.
The last word or the first word,
Is not a word!
