Robert Adams: “Ramana Maharshi said to me, “The only spiritual life you need is not to react.” To be calm is the greatest asset in the world. It’s the greatest siddhi, the greatest power you can have. If you can only learn to be calm you will solve every problem. This is something you must remember. When you are perfectly calm, time stops. There is no time, karma stops, samskaras stop. Everything becomes null and void. For when you are calm you are one with the entire energy of the universe and everything will go well with you. To be calm means you are in control. You’re not worried about the situation, the outcome. What is going to happen tomorrow. To be calm means everything is alright. There is nothing to worry about, nothing to fret over. This is also the meaning of the biblical saying, “Be still and know that I am God.” To be calm is to be still.”

~ Robert Adams

“All is well. Exceedingly well. In order for you to prove this you have to let go of those things that have been hounding you for years. Those things that appear to be wrong or erroneous. You have to turn away from these things and turn to consciousness [Self], which is your friend, your lover. Which will never desert you, never leave you, which is always with you under all circumstances. All you have to do is know this truth. That is all you have to do is know it. Know it intimately and wonderful things will begin to happen to you.”

~ Robert Adams (20th century American Advaita mystic)
