Dogen Zenji quote (The ten thousand things)

That the self advances
And confirms ten thousand things
Is called delusion;
That the ten thousand things
Advance and confirm the self
Is called enlightenment.

The pain you feel?

It is a messenger.

Listen to it.

- Rumi

What is, is God

- Ramana

"You are never not your Self.

You are never not perfect."

"The peace and mindfulness gained from sitting with yourself, in quiet, shows up in your daily life when, we are patient instead of anxious, loving instead of unkind, and compassionate instead of judgmental."

~ Barb Schmidt

Let me remind you again.

Do not try to change your thoughts,

or to change your life style,

or to work on your bad habits,

or to try to remove fear,

and the rest of it.

Rather you lift your vision high,

to the highest, by following the

I-thought to its source.

And one day you will discover

something interesting.

Your body will appear to melt, to dissolve.

The world, the universe will appear to

dissolve. Your God will appear to dissolve.

Everything you stood up for, everything you

have believed in, all of your thoughts, your

feelings, your emotions, will dissolve.

And you will find yourself as omnipresence

all-pervading consciousness.

You will discover that you’ve always been

the ultimate reality, ultimate oneness.

You are the ‘I’ am.

You are free.

Look at this very Moment.

This Moment is your true face.

In this Moment there is no past or future.

In this Moment see what is eternal.

In this Moment what effort can you possibly make

in order to be in this Moment.
