BE AWAKE

BE AWAKEmore thoughts from Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj  (17 April 1897 – 8 September 1981):

“My Guru ordered me to attend to the sense ‘I am’ and to give attention to nothing else. I just obeyed. I did not follow any particular course of breathing, or meditation, or study of scriptures. Whatever happened, I would turn away my attention from it and remain with the sense ‘I am’. It may look too simple, even crude. My only reason for doing it was that my Guru told me so. Yet it worked!”

“Give up all questions except one, “Who am I?” After all the only fact you are sure of is that you “are”. The “I am” is certain, the “I am this” is not. Struggle to find out what you are in reality. “

“Be content with what you are sure of. And the only thing you can be sure of is “I am”. Stay with it and reject everything else. This is Yoga.”

“Love says: “I am everything”. Wisdom says: “I am nothing”. Between the two my life flows.”

“To deal with things, knowledge of things is needed. To deal with people, you need insight, sympathy. To deal with yourself, you need nothing. Be what you are — conscious being — and don’t stray away from yourself.”

STATES OF SUPERSTITION

The idea that human beings in biological bodies can travel throughout intergalactic space, raise families on board a space craft, and freely interact with alien life forms is an example of superstition, based in science fiction, conjecture and wishful thinking….
HIGHER STATES OF STUPIDSTITION

LET’S TRY TO FORGET ABOUT THE HISTORY OF HUMAN SUPERSTITION AND STUPIDITY

AND PRETEND THAT WE HAVE EVOLVED INTO HIGHER STATES OF SUPERSTITION.

LIGHT THOUHTS“The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.”

~ Nikola Tesla ~

“A fundamental conclusion of the new physics also acknowledges that the observer creates the reality. As observers, we are personally involved with the creation of our own reality. Physicists are being forced to admit that the universe is a “mental” construction. Pioneering physicist Sir James Jeans wrote: “The stream of knowledge is heading toward a non-mechanical reality; the universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine. Mind no longer appears to be an accidental intruder into the realm of matter, we ought rather hail it as the creator and governor of the realm of matter. Get over it, and accept the inarguable conclusion. The universe is immaterial-mental and spiritual.”

IMPOSTERS

“The first man who, having enclosed a piece of ground, bethought himself of saying “This is mine”, and found people simple enough to believe him, was the real founder of civil society.
From how many crimes, wars, and murders, from how many horrors and misfortunes might not any one have saved mankind, by pulling up the stakes, or filling up the ditch, and crying to his fellows?: 
“Beware of listening to this imposter; you are undone if you once forget that the fruits of the Earth belong to us all, and the Earth itself to nobody”.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau (June 28, 1712 – July 2, 1778)  was a Franco-Swiss philosopher of Enlightenment whose political ideas influenced the French Revolution.

MORE QUOTES from Rousseau:

“A country cannot subsist well without liberty, nor liberty without virtue. ”

“Virtue is a state of war, and to live in it means one always has some battle to wage against oneself.”

“Men, be kind to your fellow-men; this is your first duty, kind to every age and station, kind to all that is not foreign to humanity. What wisdom can you find that is greater than kindness?”
