The whole idea is you have to let go of all types of longings, wantings, desires. You have to become a true devotee. It means you don’t care anymore. You’re not interested in getting anywhere or trying to do anything. Simply get lost in the teaching itself. Without looking for answers, without trying to become enlightened. Without saying I have to do this, I have to do that. You just live every moment, by moment, by moment in devotion, in love, in joy, not thinking whether you’re going to get enlightened or not get enlightened. Whether you’ll make it in this life or not. The person who is like this is already enlightened, already free.

Right identification => total freedom now -RAdams
“You have to make the right identification. Are you consciousness or are you the [person]? If you believe you are consciousness then you begin to act like consciousness. You will stop worrying, you will stop fearing, you will stop thinking something is wrong someplace. You will feel all is well. Everything is unfolding as it should.
You will be at peace with yourself and the world. But you will know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are all-pervading. Your essence is everywhere and you are total freedom. Right now! Right this minute. You are totally free of any problem that has ever been bothering you.
You are totally free right this minute of anything, of everybody. You’re totally free. … Feel it. You are free! You’re no longer in bondage to person, place or thing. You are infinite freedom, infinite bliss, infinite love. This is your real nature. Love the Self. Love the Self always, and you will always be happy.”
~ Robert Adams (20th century American Advaita mystic)
“[As you begin to awaken] you become more peaceful, more loving, kinder. You begin to understand that there … is nothing to analyze, nothing to discover, nothing to really do, but to be yourself just the way you are. There is no one around that can tell you anything. There is no book around that can teach you anything. You are the one right now. You are the one you’ve always been looking for. You are that! Right this minute, right now, incomprehensible beauty and joy. That bliss that you hear about is yours. It is yours right this moment.”
~ Robert Adams (20th century American Advaita mystic)
Pure awareness is emptiness. Everything comes from nothing. -RAdams
“You have to drop everything you ever learnt. Everything that you’ve learnt in school, in your travels. All of this must be given up if you want to be free, if you want to be liberated. Liberation is your very nature, your swarrupa [true nature]. Absolute reality is what you really are. Pure awareness. But it’s emptiness. These things are totally empty of anything.
Pure awareness, absolute reality, does not carry any knowledge [with] it. It does not contain any bit of knowledge whatsoever. It is emptiness. Total absolute emptiness. Emptiness is what makes the universe comes to pass. It is out of the emptiness that the universe grows. Everything comes from nothing.”
~ Robert Adams (20th century American Advaita mystic)
Different paths, one victorious goal -Papaji
Even when the grace comes from
what is apparently an ‘outside’ source,
the form of the Guru, it is still only
pointing to the Self within, the
power that will take you
into the Self.

Intimate science is consciousness -RSpira
“If we want to know the nature of the world, we have to know the nature of that with which the world is known. The ultimate science is not the science of physics; it is the science of Consciousness.
Our culture now finds itself in a similar position to that in which it found itself in the middle of the sixteenth century. When Copernicus presented his ideas about the heliocentric universe, he ushered in a new era of science that replaced the old religious worldview. Society had outgrown the forms it had created to accommodate itself.
We are now at a similar stage. Our society has outgrown the forms that conventional science created to accommodate itself, and the signs of this are to be found everywhere. The new science is the science of Consciousness. Sooner or later we have to have the courage to face that fact. We can no longer afford to ignore it.”

Suddenly whole world introspective -FJ
Suddenly as if out of nowhere, the whole world appears to have become introspective, if not soul-searching. Such an awakening of conscience can’t be all bad. 🤔
~ Frank Johnson
Even trivial worldly happiness is joy of God, Brahman
आनन्दाभ्यासयोगाद्विकृतजगदानन्दजगतो
अतो हेतोर्धर्मो न भवति शिवः कारणपरः।
हिरण्यात्माssदित्येsक्षिणि उदेतीह भगवान्
नतेश्चाधाराणां श्रवणवचनैर्गोपितधियः।।
To the one who can ‘see’, even the trivial
worldly happiness appears as the joy of
Brahman. For such there is no prop and
standard other than Siva and Self, the
cause of the lofty and the petty alike.
The sun, the illuminator and energizer
of the worlds, appears dawning beyond
the yonder horizon, when in reality it
is in the eye [the figurative I]
of the Knower.
Attention to the spiritual aspirants:
Resist the temptation of re coursing
to loud, exhibitory and ‘clever’ exercises
to reach the all-impregnating Almighty
who is verily the embodiment of peace,
simplicity, unostentatious love and
sweet quiescence. Worship him with
noiseless prayer, quiet joy, guileless
affection, supreme peace and total
self-effacement and you shall
see Him losing to you
in all fullness.
The Ribhu Gita
[Shri Siva Rahasyam]
Do not be in conflict with yourself -RAdams
Do not be in conflict with yourself
Do not be in conflict with your thoughts and the self. When there is no conflict there are no thoughts. Thoughts only appear because there’s conflict. By conflict I mean, you’re worrying about getting rid of your thoughts, you’re doing sadhana, meditation, pranayamas, japa. All of these things cause conflict.
For aren’t you saying, ‘I’m doing these things to become liberated. I’m doing these things to become free.’ The reason there’s a the conflict is because you’re already free and liberated. Therefore when you give yourself the information that you have to do something to become liberated, there is immediately conflict.
