From time to time thoughts arise that point to the bare awareness of reality. Here are some of them.
Wholeness does not arise gradually.
Practice does not make perfect - it only manifests the perfection that was already present in absolute awareness.
No one ever becomes realized because no one exists in realization.
Nothing changes after realization because there was nothing before and after realization.
You appear to be seeking for what is already present.
The seeking is the separation - liberation is not at the end of the search, it is at the end of the searcher.
Anyone who says that they are liberated or realized is speaking falsely - all they can say is that realization is in the awareness of everything happening as it is.
No one can change their nature - they can only give up the idea that they have one.- The divine nature is not separate from human nature - how can it ever be separated, for it is life itself?
Our consciousness is more like a river than a lake - all flowing from and to the same source.
We don't say "I am a body" - we say "I have a body" - why?
We speak of our body as having a brain, legs, arms and hands. If we are not those things, or in any of those things, what are we? Where are we?
We say that we come into the world - but actually nothing comes out of the world and pretends to be something.
Some say that the world was created out of nothing - because before there was anything there was nothing, but nothing was created because nothing has not stopped existing, and if nothing exists then there cannot be anything.
We cannot move toward perfection for perfection is not a gradual attainment - perfection is only found in completeness.
At what moment does a thought become an action? Isn't action always a response to a thought in the past? But everything we do happens now when we do it - so the past has no reality other than in our thoughts.
We are not what we appear to be, but what appears is all there is.
In the public world of Advaita there's always room for one more, but, in the true sense of Advaita there's no room for another.
Non-duality doesn't require our belief. It only requires our death.
Realization is the dance between "me"-ing and "be"-ing.
To be realized is to be content with not knowing that you are.
The Self wants a solution that is only found when it stops wanting it.
The idea that we are on a journey to become a better version of ourselves is an illusion. We are already that.
You can't become anything other than what you already are, until you stop trying.
Awareness occurs at the moment before thoughts occur.
Trying to outrun thoughts - it is impossible!
We do not create our thoughts - our thoughts create us.
