“lots of things happen in our lives without any apparent justification. but whatever happens to us,takes us one step ahead in the path of self realisation.

if only we could cultivate a sense of detachment,life would have been much easier.”

She would polish and hone that.”

“I sensed that one of the most significant events of my life had taken place: that which tells us about ourselves exists in fragments, scattered in time and space...

― Sergei Lebedev, Oblivion

― Torron-Lee Dewar, Creativity is Everything

“The notion of my future suddenly snapped into focus: it didn't exist yet. I was making it, standing there, breathing, fixing the air around my body with stillness, trying to capture somethingâ€� a thought, I guess —as though such a thing were possible, as though I believed in the delusion described in those paintings â€� that time could be contained, held captive. I didn't know what was true. So I did not step back. Instead, I put my hand out. I touched the frame of the painting. And then I placed my whole palm on the dry, rumbling surface of the canvas, simply to prove to myself that there was no God stalking my soul. Time was not immemorial. Things were just things.”
― Ottessa Moshfegh, My Year of Rest and Relaxation

― Oscar Wilde, De Profundis

“When kashays (anger-pride-deceit-greed) do not result in punishment, it is called Gnan (Knowledge of the Self). When kashays result in punishment, it is called agnan (ignorance of the Self).”
― Dada Bhagwan, Life Without Conflict

“A veil over the Knowledge of the Self (Gnan) is agnan, and a veil over the Vision of the Self (Darshan) is adarshan. What would be the outcome of agnan and adarshan?

― Dada Bhagwan, Adjust Everywhere

“Permanent Knowledge is itself the Self indeed. The Self is Knowledge and that indeed is the absolute Self. There is no need to search for any other absolute Self.

A visible representation (murti) also exists and so does the One that is invisible (amurta)!”
― Dada Bhagwan, Who Am I?

“The realisation has to come from within you. That’s how it becomes self-realisation. So does motivation.”

“I reach for the water and drag it across the table. I shouldn’t criticise or mock, but I do feel antagonistic toward the woman whose eyes follow the jug as it slides away from her.

― Paul Donaldson, Swami Premananda & The Temple of Whom
