{"quotes":[{"text":"It is only through silent awareness that our physical and mental nature can change. This change is completely spontaneous. If we make an effort to change we do no more than shift our attention from one level, from one thing, to another. We remain in a vicious circle. This only transfers energy from one point to another. It still leaves us oscillating between suffering and pleasure, each leading inevitably back to the other. Only living stillness, stillness without someone trying to be still, is capable of undoing the conditioning our biologoical, emotional and psychological nature has undergone. There is no controller, no selector, no personality making choices. In choiceless living the situation is given the freedom to unfold. You do not grasp one aspect over another for there is nobody to grasp. When you understand something and live it without being stuck to the formulation, what you have understood dissolves in your openness. In this silence change takes place of its own accord, the problem is resolved and duality ends. You are left in your glory where no one has understood and nothing has been understood.","author":"Jean Klein","tags":["advaita","awareness","conditioning","non-duality","spirituality"],"id":12372,"author_id":"Jean+Klein"},{"text":"All paths are valid, but in the end you will find that the realization of the ultimate truth is a pathless path.","author":"Enza Vita","tags":["awakening","awareness","beingness","enlightenment","inspirational","meditation","motivational-enlightenment","non-duality","nonduality","self-realization","spiritual","spiritual-growth","spiritual-insights","spiritual-life","spiritual-paths","spiritual","spiritual-sayings","spiritual-teachers","spiritual-teachings","spiritual-wisdom","spirituality","wisdom"],"id":13170,"author_id":"Enza+Vita"},{"text":"The Self, when finite, is Human and when infinite, is God.","author":"Abhijit Naskar","tags":["advaita-vedanta","brainy","consciousness-mind-brain","consciousness","divine-self","god","inspiring","life","life-lessons","meditation","mindfulness","non-duality","nondual-philosophy","philosophy-of-science","religion","religion-and-science","self","self-knowledge","truth"],"id":29852,"author_id":"Abhijit+Naskar"},{"text":"Not knowing anything, not searching for anything, understanding that we can’t hold on to anything, leaves us with nothing — nothing except our original nature, pure awareness.","author":"Enza Vita","tags":["awakening","awareness","beingness","enlightenment","inspirational","meditation","motivational-enlightenment","non-duality","nonduality","self-realization","spiritual","spiritual-growth","spiritual-insights","spiritual-life","spiritual","spiritual-sayings","spiritual-teachers","spiritual-teachings","spiritual-wisdom","spirituality","wisdom"],"id":30704,"author_id":"Enza+Vita"},{"text":"Mind makes a man of God.","author":"Emmanuel Diogu","tags":["awakening","awareness","ego","identity","mind","non-duality","space"],"id":32932,"author_id":"Emmanuel+Diogu"},{"text":"Realization is not about you, the wave, realizing it is ocean.

To say nothing except what can be said, I.E. The propositions of natural science, I.E. Something that has nothing to do with philosophy: and then always, when someone else wished to say something metaphysical, to demonstrate to him that he had given no meaning to certain signs in his propositions. This method would be unsatisfying to the other - he would not have the feeling that we were teaching him philosophy - but it would be the only strictly correct method. My propositions are elucidatory in this way: he who understands me finally recognizes them as senseless, when he has climbed out through them, on them, over them. (He must so to speak throw away the ladder, after he has climbed up on it.) He must surmount these propositions; then he sees the world rightly.
