STOP LOOKING ! YOU FOUND IT !

“What is spirituality? True spirituality is realizing you are not the body nor the mind phenomena. That you are consciousness, you are the absolute reality. When one realizes this, what is there left to do? Is there anything one has to do in this world when one understands their true nature? There’s total happiness and bliss at all times, always, unending. I believe this is what we are all looking for, happiness, harmony, peace, bliss.

Stop looking, you found it! If only you would learn to keep still mentally, it’s been there all the time. All the joy you’re looking for—the happiness, the peace of mind, the harmony—is you. This is your real nature. This is what you are. You do not have to go search for it. You do not have to practice sadhanas, spiritual practices, meditation, deep breathing, yoga. What has this got to do with reality? These are practices that you do for better health, to improve your body.

But as the years pass, the body gets older anyway. It doesn’t care how long you have been meditating or what you have been doing. The body becomes older and older and older and you get disappointed and discouraged because nothing has happened..It is not more practices that you need, it is an awakening that you need. To totally, completely wake up! Wake up to the Self! That’s all you have to do. When you awaken to your Self, there is nothing else to do forever.”

~ Robert Adams (20th century American Advaita mystic)
