"Don't believe your thoughts. 'I am the body' is a thought. 'I am the mind' is a thought. 'I am the doer' is a thought. Worry is only a thought. Fear is only a thought. Death is only a thought. When all thoughts are stilled, "Pure Consciousness remains" over. To bring about peace means to be "free from thoughts" and to "abide as Pure Consciousness.: The "thoughts change" but "not you". "Let go the passing thoughts" and hold on to the "unchanging Self." ~ Ramana Maharshi

The greatest master that you will ever meet, is the "nature of your mind". No matter how many clouds arise in space, space can never be harmed or destroyed. Likewise, no matter what arises in the mind, no matter how many clouds of ignorance, anger and desire there are, the nature of mind is always there, and it will "always be pure". Dharma practice is like the wind that blows away these clouds, revealing what has always been there, in all its nakedness… the greatest master that you will ever meet… "your ultimate nature… the nature of your mind." ~ Chamtrul Rinpoche 🙏 Nobody can pull us out of samsara. Our liberation and enlightenment depends on ourselves alone. But until we know exactly what we have to do, we need to take refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha - the teachings and teachers who show us the direction that we have to go in. However, ultimately "we are our own master". When we know exactly what we have to do, we will no longer need to be shown the direction. "But until that time comes, refuge is a vital part of our path". If we dismiss refuge, it would be like turning our back on a map and a guide, and then "wandering off into the wilderness on our own." ~ Chamtrul Rinpoche✨️ Samsara refers to uncontrollable recurring rebirth, with all its uncertainty, problems, dissatisfaction, and suffering. So it is absolutely no surprise that you will most probably meet with many obstacles in your life. Unfortunately, this really is to be expected of your samsaric rebirth. But if you are a great practitioner, you will view these obstacles as the perfect training grounds of the path that leads to the freedom from samsara. And once free, you will never fall back. ~ Chamtrul Rinpoche 🙏

....This is the highest path of Karma or action. It leads directly to God, as differentiated from outer activities of religion, such as ceremonies and missionary work in which the Mind is on precepts rather than absorbed in the actual inner experience of God. Many preach the Kingdom of God; yogis find it within. Hare Krishna! Bhagavad-Gita 3-7

That divine moment is now! It just is and you are that. ================================= When you try to think about it you spoil it. When a thought arises, the moment is forgotten. You therefore have to do anything and everything you can to learn to rest in the moment. The moment is right here, right now. There are no problems and no troubles and no sickness and no lack, no evil in this moment. Isn't that true? It's only when you start to think. As soon as you start to think you start thinking about what you need, how to make your life better, how to remove certain things from your life so you can succeed and be happier. This is all folly. You can never do that! When will you learn this! When you remove the things from your life that have been holding you back so you say, new things will pop up. It will never end. There is just no end to it. You've got to find the moment exactly where you are now. That divine moment does not exist five minutes from now or a second from now. That divine moment is now! It just is and you are that. There is no thing to search for, there is no one to see, there are no special mantras you have to memorize. Even self-inquiry is only a method to put you in the moment. If you teach yourself not to think but to stay in the moment, in that moment you are divine, in that moment you are ultimate oneness. That moment is sat-chit-ananda, nirvana. There is only the moment, time and space does not exist. Time and space become condensed in the moment. In that moment you are total freedom. ~ Robert Adams
