“Whatever you do, whatever you utter - the very words, are sounds of music from the hand of God playing His instrument.

Always think that you are an instrument in His hand - He is the power house. Even when you do nothing, this is also His wish.

He is the player, let Him play the drum as He wishes.”

- Ma Anandamayi

Conversations With Annamalai Swami

Q: So we only think that we have choices. The sense of choice is not real?

Annamalai Swami: Correct! All the difficulties that we experience in life have been given to us by Bhagavan in order to turn our minds towards the Self.

Swami Yogananda once asked Bhagavan, 'Why did God choose this way of giving grace only through misery? Why did He not choose some other way?'
Bhagavan replied, 'It is His way. Who are you to question Him?'

Q: Is it desirable to want to see God?
AS: Manikkavachagar said in one of his songs:

'God is not a person, nor is He any particular thing.
Yet without God, there is nothing because He alone is everything.'

To see one's Self and to see this same Self in all that is, that is seeing God.

- Living With Bhagavan
p 283

You think you must have this or that and then you can be happy. But no matter how many of your desires are satisfied, you never will find happiness through them. The more you have, the more you want. Learn to live simply.

Lord Krishna said: "His mind is full with contentment whose desires ever flow inward. That man is like a changeless ocean which is kept brimful with constantly entering waters. He is not a muni who bores holes of desires in his reservoir of peace and lets the waters escape."

- Sri Paramahansa Yogananda

🕉
"If you repeat OM continuously, year in and year out, it will become your habit. It will become a subtle layer around you; it will prevent you from hearing the real OM. The real OM cannot be produced by you.

OM is not a mantra. So, don′t use it as a mantra.

OM has all the secrets in it, but it is not something to be repeated. It has to be understood.

OM is not a word; it is a pure sound, the purest, the ultimate sound of existence. When all is gone, that sound remains. That is the sound of soundlessness, the sound of silence.

Symbolically, OM represents your waking consciousness, your dreaming consciousness, your sleeping consciousness, and the beyond - the Turiya - the fourth state, where one becomes Bhagwan, where one becomes Christ, Buddha, where one is one with totality.

Repeating won′t help; it will deceive you. Walking on the road, walk with full awareness, knowing that you are walking. Then slowly, slowly transform every act into awareness. De-automatize every act."

OSHO
The Secret 🕉

The light of the world comes and goes, it is unstable. The Light which is eternal can never be extinguished. By that Light you behold the outer light and everything in the universe; only because It always shines within you, can you perceive the outer light.

Whatever appears to you in the universe is due only to that great Light within you, and solely because the Supreme Knowledge of the essence of things lies hidden in the depths of your being is it possible for you to acquire knowledge of anything.

- Ma Anandamayi

He Himself is the pot-maker; and

Himself even the clay of the pot."

Q. Is it comparative religion you want to preach?

Vivekananda: It is really the philosophy of religion, the kernel of all its outward forms. All forms of religion have an essential and a nonessential part. If we strip from them the latter, there remains the real basis of all religion, which all forms of religion possess in common. Unity is behind them all. We may call it God, Allah, Jehovah, the Spirit, Love.

It is the same unity that animates all life, from its lowest form to its noblest manifestation in human beings. It is on this unity that we need to lay stress, whereas in the West, and indeed everywhere, it is the nonessential that people are apt to lay stress. They will fight and kill each other for these forms, to make their fellows conform.

Seeing that the essential is love of God and love of human beings, this is curious, to say the least.
