Satsang is the invitation to Rest and let Grace dissolve what is
unreal. It takes more effort to maintain the persona than to Rest
in what Is!
- Pamela Wilson
The joke is that it is the ego, the "me," that wants
enlightenment, and enlightenment cannot come until the
"me" is demolished.

Spontaneity is being present in the present. Spontaneity
by-passes the processes of the conceptual (aspect of) mind.
Re-integration with Nature, which we are, is the recovery of
spontaneity.
Wei Wu Wei, from Why Lazurus Laughed, posted to
Distillation
Your mind is steeped in the habits of evaluation and acquisition,
and will not admit that the incomparable and unobtainable are
waiting timelessly within your own heart for recognition. All you
have to do is to abandon all memories and expectations. Just keep
yourself ready in utter nakedness and nothingness.
Nisargadatta Maharaj, from I Am That
Through knowledge you can only pretend to know Truth. True
knowledge is freedom from knowledge itself after it has
disappeared into the vacancy of a fasting mind.

To exist means to be something, a thing, a feeling,a thought, an
idea. All existence is particular. Only being is universal, in
the sense that every being is compatible with every other being.
Existences clash, being - never. Existence means becoming,
change, birth and death and birth again,while in being there is
silent peace.
- Nisargadatta Maharaj, posted to ANetofJewels
Self is only Being -
not being this or that.
It is Simple Being.
BE, and
There is the end of ignorance.
- Ramana Maharshi
