Reality is simply the loss of ego.
Destroy the
ego by seeking its identity. Because the ego is
no entity it will automatically vanish and reality
will shine forth by itself.
- Sri Ramana Maharshi "Be As You Are"
The Teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi
edited by David Godman
The teaching that the ego does not exist--repeated so often in so
parrot-like a way--can help no one, can only create intellectual
confusion and thus harm the search for truth. But the teaching
that the ego is only an idea--however strongly held by the
mind--and as such does exist, can help everyone in the struggle
for self-mastery and can throw intellectual light on the search
for truth.
— Notebooks of Paul Brunton

When you act, you are one with the
action, it is only afterwards that the ego appropriates the act
from which it was absent and says "I have done this."At
the moment of acting there is only acting, without an actor.

Great teachers and philosophies are
like special
portals that point you into the infinite vastness of
Consciousness.
However, most seekers get stuck at these doorways
whenever they begin to worship the portal itself
instead of looking into what they're being pointed
towards.
Unless you find the inner courage to eventually walk
through these Gateways - and be destroyed - you'll
spend your life teetering at the edge of your own
emptiness.
Stop seeking outside of you for something that only
lies within.
Portals are not the Truth.
Portals only point out the Truth.
But be still. Be patient.
Sooner or later, all roads lead to OM.

When the mirror of my consciousness
became clear,
I saw that my family and others I
love are the same as me.
The "you" and "I" thought
does not occur.
The entire world is God.

When we are totally open to the
unknown, the personal entity is absent; then we realize that the
tangible and intelligible universe arises out of this openness in
the eternal present. We want, create and are at every moment
everything in the unity of awareness.
