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.

More quotes by Gangaji
If you are willing to take an instant to withdraw attention from whatever your internal dialogue is, to withdraw energy from whatever the latest point of view about your suffering is, it is immediately obvious what is here: the fullness, the richness and the love of oneself as conscious life.
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
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
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
Fufillment has nothing to do with circumstances.
Gangaji
Time is a very useful concept in terms of survival. It's extraordinary that we can delineate a day into segments so that we can actually look at those segments, examine them, and see what worked and what didn't' work. We get very attached to time because it's a power, this invention of time is very powerful, and we like power.
Gangaji
Safety is knowing that when this particular life form is finished, what it has served remains.
Gangaji
Pure no-thing-ness is conscious intelligence.
Gangaji
In a sacred moment, when attention is pulled inward, rather than continuing in its usual outward direction, silence is realized.
Gangaji
But somehow in identifying myself as the healer, there was still a seed of both self-righteousness and defense from a kind of emptiness.
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
You cannot be happy unless you are serving the truth of your being, however that service looks.
Gangaji
Fulfillment has nothing to do with circumstances.
Gangaji
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
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
When you are willing to stop looking for something in thought, you find everything in silence.
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 word God, to me, is like the word enlightenment. It's become so corrupted by our ideas of what God is.
Gangaji
Love has nothing to do with another person. Love is Truth. Love is Beauty. Love is Self. To know yourself, to surrender to the truth of yourself, is to surrender to love.
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.
