I'm not suggesting that you have to overcome your fear of death. But we have to be willing to recognize at any moment, death could come.
Gangaji
Who you are, in truth, who everyone is, is whole and perfect and beautiful. And if that can be recognized, then it is possible that self-torture can stop!
Gangaji
The truth is you really are nothing, but this nothing is full, whole, infinite in everything and everywhere. This nothing is conciousness itself. It is already whole, complete and fulfilled. This is the amazing irony.
Gangaji
Need nothing and then see what happens.
Gangaji
You cannot be happy unless you are serving the truth of your being, however that service looks.
Gangaji
All of the searching, all of the struggling, all of the efforting to find your true self is naturally revealed in open, relaxed simplicity.
Gangaji
Pure no-thing-ness is conscious intelligence.
Gangaji
The choiceless truth of who you are is revealed to be permanently here permeating everything. Not a thing and not separate from anything.
Gangaji
The secret gem of truth has been hidden in the core of your own heart all along. My invitation is to stop all movement of your mind away from truth so that you can discover directly, for yourself, this jewel that is alive within you.
Gangaji
I'm a student of history and know that civilizations get lost - they are born and die - and so I recognize the tender mortality of our civilization. I'm not saying I'm separate from the despair of that, but I'm not controlled by the despair of that.
Gangaji
Finally all that is trustworthy is this immeasurable silent awareness that is the truth of who you are, that is love.
Gangaji
What will happen in your life if you accept the invitation to stillness cannot be known ... what can be known is you will have a larger capacity to truly meet whatever appears.
Gangaji
Be still and know yourself as the Truth you have been searching for. Be still and let the inherent joy of that Truth capture your drama and destroy it in the bliss of consummation. Be still and let your life be lived by the purpose you were made for. Be still and receive the inherent truth of your heart.
Gangaji
You are here. However you imagine yourself to be, you are here. Imagine yourself as a body, you are here. Imagine yourself as God, you are here. Imagine yourself as worthless, superior, nothing at all, you are still here. My suggestion is that you stop all imagining, here.
Gangaji
The word God, to me, is like the word enlightenment. It's become so corrupted by our ideas of what God is.
Gangaji
My responsibility is simply being who I am and not buying into any projection as real. No projection is finally real, but projection does play a very important role.
Gangaji
When you are willing to stop looking for something in thought, you find everything in silence.
Gangaji
In a sacred moment, when attention is pulled inward, rather than continuing in its usual outward direction, silence is realized.
Gangaji
Surrender all thought, emotion, and circumstance to that which is bigger and deeper. Surrender your identity. Surrender your suffering to that which is closer than identity, deeper than suffering. Do you discover victory or defeat in this surrender?
Gangaji
Safety is knowing that when this particular life form is finished, what it has served remains.
