Enlightenment is a destructive process.
It has nothing to do with becoming better or being happier.
Enlightenment is the crumbling away of untruth.
It's seeing through the facade of pretense. It's the complete eradication of everything we imagined to be true.
~ Adyashanti
Actually, being what you are is the simplest.
What is difficult is to stop being what you are not.
Because we wish to keep hold of our attachments. Freedom is to be free of attachments and the main attachment is to the 'I'-self.
~ Mooji
A quiet mind is all you need.
All else will happen rightly, once your mind is quiet.
As the sun on rising makes the world active, so does self-awareness affect changes in the mind. In the light of calm and steady self-awareness, inner energies wake up and work miracles without any effort on your part.
Do understand that you are destined for enlightenment. Co-operate with your destiny, don't go against it, don't thwart it. Allow it to fulfill itself.
All you have to do is to give attention to the obstacles created by the foolish mind.
~ Nisargadatta Maharaj
Freedom is from something. What are you to be free from?
Obviously, you must be free from the person you take yourself to be, for it is the idea you have of yourself that keeps you in bondage.
~ Nisargadatta Maharaj
The mind is just like a thief.
It is stealing your happiness by making you run after things and ideas that make you suffer all the time.
Bring it back to the present each and every time you find that it is wandering somewhere else.
~ Papaji
The self is like a pearl.
To find it you must dive deep down into silence, deeper and ever deeper until it is reached.
~ Ramana Maharshi
People see the world.
The perception implies the existence of a seer and the seen.
The objects are alien to the seer.
The seer is intimate, being the Self.
They do not however turn their attention to finding out the obvious seer but run about analysing the seen.
The more the mind expands, the farther it goes and renders Self-Realisation more difficult and complicated.
The man must directly see the seer and realise the Self.
