WORLD ISN’T TURNING YOUR WAY ?
▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

“I know there are some of you who believe, ‘Well I must have committed some great sins in the past, perhaps in previous lives, because I’m sure suffering now.’ Are you really suffering? Is there such a thing? Think about that. The only reason you think you are suffering is because the world is not turning the way that you want it to. Isn’t that true?

You think you should be this instead of that, you should live here instead of there, you should have this instead of that, and that’s what causes you to suffer. But when you become one-pointed, and focus your attention on your Self—with a capital S—it is virtually impossible to suffer because suffering doesn’t exist.”

~ Robert Adams (20th century American Advaita mystic)

LEAVE THE WORLD ALONE !
▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

Begin to see the truth. Begin to stand up tall. Become fearless. Become strong. Leave the world alone. It will take care of itself. There is a mysterious power that guides the world to its right destiny. It doesn’t need any help from you. If you’re meant to do certain work in the world, it will be done, but you have nothing to do with that. It doesn’t mean that you have to leave your job or go sit in a cave or give up your life. Wherever you are right now is where you’re supposed to be. Just feel, “I am not the doer,” and your work will go on. Do not be attached to your work. Do not react to any situation or any condition. Be your Self. Focus your attention on consciousness and your body will go on doing whatever it came here to do.

Everything is preordained. Even when I raise my finger like this it is preordained. Do not be egotistical to believe that you have any power over everybody or anybody or that you are the doer. It’s a privilege to have been born on this earth and the reason you have been born is to find your real Self. Go for it, do it, and become free.

STOP LOOKING ! YOU FOUND IT !
▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

“What is spirituality? True spirituality is realizing you are not the body nor the mind phenomena. That you are consciousness, you are the absolute reality. When one realizes this, what is there left to do? Is there anything one has to do in this world when one understands their true nature? There’s total happiness and bliss at all times, always, unending. I believe this is what we are all looking for, happiness, harmony, peace, bliss.

Stop looking, you found it! If only you would learn to keep still mentally, it’s been there all the time. All the joy you’re looking for—the happiness, the peace of mind, the harmony—is you. This is your real nature. This is what you are. You do not have to go search for it. You do not have to practice sadhanas, spiritual practices, meditation, deep breathing, yoga. What has this got to do with reality? These are practices that you do for better health, to improve your body.

But as the years pass, the body gets older anyway. It doesn’t care how long you have been meditating or what you have been doing. The body becomes older and older and older and you get disappointed and discouraged because nothing has happened..It is not more practices that you need, it is an awakening that you need. To totally, completely wake up! Wake up to the Self! That’s all you have to do. When you awaken to your Self, there is nothing else to do forever.”

~ Robert Adams (20th century American Advaita mystic)

EVERYTHING IS CHANGING
▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎ ▪︎▪︎▪︎

“You will find out as you keep [watching your thoughts] everything begins to change all around you. Yet everything is the same all around you. You see things that other people do not see. You become things that other people can never become. For instance, you become all-pervading. You begin to feel your presence, your essence in the leaves, in the trees, in the sky, in the animals, in the insects. You begin to see that all this is the Self, and ‘I am that.’

This is when you have total reverence for all of life. Everything becomes God. Everything becomes consciousness. You’re no longer saying, ‘I, I, me, me, I need this, I want that, I feel this way, I feel that way.’ You have grown out of this. [You continue using the term I with people because otherwise] they do not understand what you are talking about, so you use the term I with them. But you yourself know that I does not exist. There is no longer an I to keep you in bondage. The I has given way to omnipresence.”

~ Robert Adams (20th century American Advaita mystic)

JUST ALLOW IT TO TAKE OVER
▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎▪︎

The presence, the power. It starts within your heart, and begins to spread all through your body, encompassing your body. Your body merges with it, and it continues to spread until all of us in the room have become it. We are no longer human. We have become it. It keeps on expanding and expanding until the entire world is it. It keeps on expanding, expanding until all the galaxies, planets, stars and solar systems are it. It keeps on expanding, expanding until the entire universe is it. Then there is no longer anything that is separate from it. Everything is it. We may call it consciousness, the Self, absolute reality. This is it. This is your real nature.
