That which will be the day you laugh is also here and now.

When there are thoughts, it is distraction: when there are no thoughts, it is meditation.
Ramana Maharshi

The body dies, but the spirit that transcends it cannot be touched by death.
Ramana Maharshi

Grace is always present. You imagine it as something high in the sky, far away, something that has to descend. It is really inside you, in your heart. When the mind rests in its source, grace rushes forth, sprouting as from a spring within you.
