I've been reflection on the Ramana Maharshi quotes the past few days, very cool :bliss:
I first heard of him in Rehab actually, read a book on him too while I was there. My roommate was a completely devote Buddhist :awesome:

I honor the place in you in which the entire universe dwells. I honor the place in you which is of love. of truth. of light, and of peace. When you are in that place in you and I am in that place in me. We are one.

"Why do we close our eyes.. when we pray, when we cry, when we kiss, when we dream?  Because in this world the most beautiful things cannot be seen, but felt only by the heart." - unknown

"To do, or not to do.  Its the warrior's choice.  But if you stand, stand.  If you sit, sit.  Whatever you do, don't wobble.  Make each decision with every inch of your being." - The way of the peaceful warrior

"If you're going to try, go all the way. Otherwise don't even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives, jobs. And maybe your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery, isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance. Of how much you really want to do it. And you'll do it, despite rejection in the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you're going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods. And the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It's the only good fight there is." - unknown

"The only sane way to live is in acceptance of what is." - Eckhart Tolle

When I was, God was not.  When God is, I am no more.
--unknown Indian mystic

Know thyself, O divine lineage in mortal guise!
--Marsilio Ficino

The problem is that with magic, being in many respects a science of language, you have to be very careful with what you say, because if you suddenly declare yourself to be a magician, without any knowledge of what that entails, then one day you are likely to wake up and discover that that is exactly what you are.
--Alan Moore

“Strengthened by contemplation and study,
I will not fear my passions like a coward.
My body I will give to pleasures,
to diversions that I’ve dreamed of,
to the most daring erotic desires,
to the lustful impulses of my blood, without
any fear at all, for whenever I will—
and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

Quote:

If Life offends us we have in some way offended Truth . Our former errors lie in wait for us and we are ambushed to ruin.  All the generations struggle to reduce truth to unity, to a God-idea, to Justice, Love and Power.  My God was Power, and in my powerlessness I realize that I have built upon foundations of sand.
...
My house has collapsed, and great was the fall of it.  Antichrist lies in ruins before the indestructible feet of Christ shod with the love of the world, the love made manifest in deeds. O life, mock me not!  Thou hast conquered, Galilean, thou hast conquered in the very heart of thy greatest foe!
...
Credo quia absurdum: I believe the absolute absurdity of Jesus, but still I cannot be saved.  To the very last I cannot surrender my pride of intellect, my conviction that Jesus must stoop to Nietzsche, even though he is a heap of ruins!  No more enemies--no more hate--only a world-embracing love!  That is no kingdom for me!  I must have lightning and thunder, and die while the world crashes about my ears!...



--from My Sister and I by Friedrich Nietzsche

"A Zen student went to his master one day and asked 'master, why must we always focus on the breath? Its so boring!'  So then the master took his student and held his head under water for quite a long time.  After he pulled him up, he asked 'while you were underwater did you find the breath boring?'"  :wink:

"Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening,
terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities, the political, the religious, the educational authorities who attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations, informing, forming in our minds their view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority and learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable, open-mindedness; chaotic, confused, vulnerability to inform yourself."

"The prophecy was that I should be dismembered; and- Aye! I lost this leg. I now prophesy that I will dismember my dismemberer. Now, then, be the prophet and the fulfiller one. That's more than ye, ye great gods, ever were. I laugh and hoot at ye, ye cricket-players, ye pugilists, ye deaf Burkes and blinded Bendigoes! I will not say as schoolboys do to bullies- Take some one of your own size; don't pommel me! No, ye've knocked me down, and I am up again; but ye have run and hidden. Come forth from behind your cotton bags! I have no long gun to reach ye. Come, Ahab's compliments to ye; come and see if ye can swerve me. Swerve me? ye cannot swerve me, else ye swerve yourselves! man has ye there. Swerve me? The path to my fixed purpose is laid with iron rails, whereon my soul is grooved to run. Over unsounded gorges, through the rifled hearts of mountains, under torrents' beds, unerringly I rush! Naught's an obstacle, naught's an angle to the iron way!"

~Herman Melville, Moby Dick

To me it meant that light is consciousness, life and it being very brief compared to eternity.  Death is darkness, the unknown, and a belief in eternity and reincarnation, though I don't believe that people reincarnate as animals.
I find it a spiritual belief.

Sri Bhagavan: People would not understand the simple and bare truth - the truth of their every day, ever-present and eternal experience. That Truth is that of the Self. Is there anyone not aware of the Self? They would not even like to hear it (the Self), whereas they are eager to know what lies beyond - heaven, hell, reincarnation. Because they love mystery and not the bare truth, religions pamper them - only to bring them round to the Self. Wandering hither and thither you must return to the Self only. Then, why not abide in the Self even here and now? The other worlds require the Self as a spectator or speculator. Their reality is only of the same degrees as that of the spectator or thinker. They cannot exist without the spectator, etc. Therefore they are not different from the Self. Even the ignorant man sees only the Self when he sees objects. But he is confused and identifies the Self with the object, i.e., the body and with the senses and plays in the world. Subject and object - all merge in the Self. There is no seer nor objects seen. The seer and the seen are the Self. There are not many selves either. All are only one Self.
