And All Will Be Lost

Your Own

"Once you realise that there is nothing in the world which you can call your own, you look at it from the outside as you look at a play on the stage, or a picture on the screen, admiring and enjoying, but really unmoved.

As long as you imagine yourself to be something tangible and solid, a thing among things, actually existing in time and space, short lived and vulnerable, naturally you will be anxious to survive and increase"
 - Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Let Them Teach You

"Watch any plant or animal and let it teach you acceptance of what is, surrender to the Now. Let it teach you Being. Let it teach you integrity - which means to be one, to be yourself, to be real. Let it teach you how to live and how to die, and how not to make living and dying a problem" - Eckhart Tolle

To Be Alone

"It's beautiful to be alone. To be alone does not mean to be lonely. It means the mind is not influenced and contaminated by society" - Jiddu Krishnamurti

Let Your True Nature Emerge

"There is nothing to practice. To know yourself, be yourself. To be yourself, stop imagining yourself to be this or that. Just be. Let your true nature emerge. Don't disturb your mind with seeking" - Nisargadatta Maharaj
