You have to examine yourself.

You have to see who you are.

You have to begin to understand,
you are not the doer and become still and relaxed and peaceful
with yourself.

The way you become peaceful is by realizing I am not the doer.

I didn't ask to be born the way I am.
I didn't ask to be born of certain parents,
in a certain country, at a certain time.
I didn't ask to be born into an impoverished family or into a
wealthy family or into a spiritual family or into an atheist family or
into a family of agnostics.
You didn't ask for that yet you find yourself in that particular
family.

If you are fortunate enough when you get to the age of reason you
begin to question, "How did I get here?
What am I doing in this environment?
Who put me here?
What is my purpose?"

As you sincerely ask yourself these questions, the answers will be

revealed to you and you will begin to understand that everything
was predetermined, preordained.
If you are fortunate enough to come under the tutelage of a guru, or
a Jnani it will be explained to you that you may appear to think that
you were born into this particular family under these circumstance
but in reality that is not you. You are not that.
You are boundless.
You are free.
You are of the unborn.
You have always been and you will always be.
That is your true nature.

The first principle in eliminating worry is to understand

that
everything you experience in your life
is invited, attracted and created by you.
There are no exceptions.

Change yourself and you have done your part in changing the
world.

- Paramahansa Yogananda

“We were born with silence,

and as we grew up we lost the silence
and we were filled with words.

We lived in our hearts,

and as time passed we moved into our heads.

Now the reverse of this journey is enlightenment.

It is the journey from the head back to the heart,
from words back to silence;
getting back to our innocence in spite of our intelligence.”

If you knew who you were you'd have nothing to say. Because
you don't know who you are you have plenty to say.

Robert Adams

I can only say what I am not .. But I choose not to say

anything .. Only silence ....

The PURPOSE of everyone’s life is to become a door through

which the SUPREME can find expression in this form. HE is
inside already but seemingly hidden by what becomes our
first choice, second choice or whatever our preferences
are: desires, attachments, etc. They create veils over the
SUPREME. When we are undressed of our own identity, HE
alone shines through in this body. THIS IS THE ONE...
- Mooji

Remember, you are entirely on your own.

You do not come from somewhere,
you do not go anywhere.
You are timeless being and awareness.

~Nisargadatta Maharaj
Realize that your world is only a reflection of yourself
and stop finding fault with the reflection.
Attend to yourself, set yourself right;
mentally and emotionally.
The physical self will follow automatically.

~Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

There is really only ONE question of any value, of any worth,

of any importance at a given moment and it is this;
“WHAT DO I CHOOSE NOW?”
That is all that matters, that is all that counts.
The answer to THIS question is the key to your future.
It is the fuel that drives the creative engine of your experience.

So look at any experience in your life and decide

WHO and WHAT you choose to be NOW in regard to that.
Do you choose to be angry?
Do you choose to be sad?
Do you choose to be suspicious?
Do you choose do be depressed?
Do you choose to be dysfunctional in your relationships?
Do you choose to continue to feel victimized?
Do you choose to be healed?
Do you choose to live from understanding,
compassion, forgiveness and love?
Do you choose to live without worry?
WHAT DO YOU CHOOSE?

The reason the answers to these questions are important is

because what you choose will be reproduced in your life
through the Law of Attraction.
All states of mind reproduce themselves.
The universe is like a giant copy machine that can only reproduce
what is on the original copy.
The original copy is always your thought.

~Dr. Robert Anthony

ANNAMALAI SWAMI REMEMBERED

Self-correction: ‘The sun is simply bright. It does not correct

anyone.’

Bhagavan taught that one should reform oneself rather than find
fault with others. In practical terms, this means that one should find
the source of one's own mind rather than make complaints about
other people's minds and actions.
I can remember a typical reply that Bhagavan gave on this subject.

A devotee, who was quite intimate with Bhagavan, asked him,

‘Some of the devotees who live with Bhagavan behave very
strangely. They seem to do many things that Bhagavan does not
approve of. Why does Bhagavan not correct them?'

Bhagavan replied, 'Correcting oneself is correcting the whole

world. The sun is simply bright. It does not correct anyone.
Because it shines the whole world is full of light. Transforming
yourself is a means of giving light to the whole world.'

Once, while I was sitting in the hall, someone complained to

Bhagavan about one of the devotees who was sitting there: 'He is
not meditating here, he is just sleeping.' 'How can you know that?'
retorted Bhagavan. 'Only because you yourself gave up your
meditation to look at him! First, see yourself and don't concern
yourself with other people's habits.'
Bhagavan sometimes used to say: 'Some people who come here
have two aims: they want Bhagavan to be perfect and they want
the ashram to be perfect. To achieve this goal they make all kinds
of complaints and suggestions. They don't come here to correct
themselves; they only come here to correct others.

These people don't seem to remember the reason why they came to
Bhagavan in the first place If they do one namaskaram to us they
think that the ashram is then their kingdom. Such people think that
we ought to behave like their slaves, only doing whatever they
think we ought to do.’

Living by the Words of Bhagavan p 116

There is no one to realize. As long as there is someone left over to

realize it is not self-realization. You cannot say, "I am self-realized,
I no longer exist." There is no one to be realized. Otherwise it’s
duality, there is not two. There’s not I who has become
self-realized there is just realization. There is really nothing at all.
Words spoil it. Therefore there are people who have to go after
God-realization and there are people who give their own meaning
to self-realization. This is why words keep us back. The more we
talk about these things. The more confused we become and the less
we really know. It all has to do with silence. In silence there is
strength. When we try to explain it we spoil it.

-- Robert Adams, T39: Sitting In The Silence

engaging with the world."
