When the mind moves even a little, that is samsara.
When the mind abides firmly and motionlessly (in the state of the Self), that is liberation.
This is certain.
Therefore know that the wise man must hold his mind firm
by supreme Self-Awareness.

Man issues forth from bodily identification to assume his real form upon attainment of the great liberation.  Such a man lives like a king--eating, playing, and enjoying women, possessions, and family, without identification with the body.
--Chandogya Upanishad

You can't do good unless you feel good.

6. Those who seek everlasting liberation,
should not engage in repeating various sacred syllables
(mantras), in breath-control (pranayama), breath retention
(kumbhaka) or concentration (dharana).

17. (Neither) is there room for performing puja, paying homage,
chanting, meditation and the like.
Hear it from Me: the highest truth acclaimed in the Vedas
can be known only through jnana (wisdom)
There is absolutely no need to know anything outside oneself.

Good one.

Quote:

Jed McKenna said:

"But what about when people explore their inner selves? Make journeys of self-discovery? Aren't they going within to find the truth?"
They're just exploring the ego, making a study of the false self, which is a life-quest as valid as any other. But you don't wake up by perfecting your dream character, you wake up by breaking free of it. There's no truth to the ego, so no degree of mastery over it results in anything true. Putting attention on the false self merely reinforces it.
The misconception about enlightenment stems from, or is at least compounded by, the fact that most of the world's recognized experts on the subject of enlightenment are not enlightened. Some are great mystics, some are great scholars, some are both, and most are neither, but exceedingly few are awake.

False false false true true true, there's no ego to master and no one to master it, anyhow.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.
Matthew 24:25

Probably one of my favorite bible quotes. Can really relate to it after taking mushies alone in the desert. Imagine it, death being nothing joyful, sorrowful, or anything of the sort. Simply an empty state of existing, with nothing to bring comfort to you but the words of attaining peace, and knowing that you did your best to follow them while you were "alive".....whatever that meant  :artistic:  :shrug:

One should abandon all paths which are based on external supports
and meditate solely on that Reality which is beyond the world.

All quotes by U.G. Krishnamurti

"All these godman, gurus and flunkies are offering us a new oasis. You will find out that it is no different from other mirages."

"To be yourself requires extraordinary intelligence. You are blessed with that intelligence; nobody need give it to you; nobody can take it away from you. He who lets that express itself in its own way is a 'Natural Man'."

"The Natural State is a state of great sensitivity--but this is a physical sensitivity of the senses, not some kind of emotional compassion or tenderness for others. There is compassion only in the sense that there are no 'others' for me, and so there is no separation"

"We never look at anything. It is too dangerous to look because that 'looking' destroys the continuity of thinking."


"The body has no independent existence. You are a squatter there."

"A messiah is the one who leaves a mess behind him in this world"


"It is fear that makes you believe that you are living and that you will be dead.What we do not want is the fear to come to an end. That is why we have invented all these new minds, new sciences,new talks, therapies, choiceless awareness and various other gimmicks."


"Cabbages are more alive than human beings."

"Your highly praised inventiveness springs from your thinking, which is essentially a protective mechanism. The mind has invented both religion and dynamite to protect what it regards as its best interests."

"I don't give a hoot for a sixth-century B.C. Buddha, let alone all the other claimants we have in our midst. They are a bunch of exploiters, thriving on the gullibility of the people."

"You are not ready to accept the fact that you have to give up. A complete  and total surrender." It is a state of hopelessness which says that there is  no way out... Any movement in any direction, on any dimension, at any level, is taking you  away from yourself..."

"Real silence is explosive; it is not the dead state of mind that spiritual seekers think. This is volcanic in its nature; it's bubbling all the time--the energy, the life--that is its quality."

"You are trying to enforce peace through violence. Yoga, meditation, prayers, mantras, are all violent techniques. The living organism is very peaceful; you don't have to do a thing. The peacefully functioning body doesn't care one hoot for your ecstasies, beatitudes, or blissful states."

"Nature is busy creating absolutely unique individuals, where as culture has invented a single mold to which all must conform. It is grotesque."

"If you have the courage to touch life for the first time, you will never know what hit you. Everything man has taught, felt and experienced is gone, and nothing is put in its place."

Wanting to reform the world without discovering one's true Self is like trying to cover the world with leather to avoid the pain of walking on stones and thorns. It is much simpler to wear shoes. - Sri Ramana

Nothing is forbidden to the kaula and to those who have achieved the condition of true siddha-vira, since they are and they know.  They are lords of their passions, and they fully identify with Shakti [power].  As the supreme Shakti, or Parashakti, is over and beyond any pair of opposites, likewise the kaula is beyond good and evil, honor and dishonor, merit and sin, and any other value cherished by ordinary people, the so-called pashus.
--Julius Evola

Through enjoyment one gains liberation; for enjoyment is the means of reaching the Supreme Abode.  Hence the wise who wish to conquer [the spirit] should experience all pleasures.
--the Kularnava Samhita

'The lord-of tears' (Rudra) has shown in the left-hand doctrine that spiritual advancement is best achieved by means of those very things which are the causes of man's downfall.
...
Passion alone, when astutely directed, can overcome egoism and pride and sordid calculation.  Alone it has the momentum to draw man away from the bonds that chain him to his interests, his beliefs.
--Alain Danielou
