Mind Training: The 72 Exhortations (31-33)

Great beings who are free of desire

Have no need for a karmamudra.

When the mind is mixed with desire,

The mudra will lead you to lower realms.

Don’t look at inferiors’ bad examples,

The causes of nondharmic behavior.

Instead, see them as deserving compassion,

And follow the mahasiddhas’ footsteps.

Skillfully give up negative friends.

Follow exalted spiritual friends

With learning and venerable qualities

Who have given up the world. [...]

Ramana Maharshi

“The question ‘Who am I?’ is not really meant to get an answer, the question ‘Who am I?’ is meant to dissolve the questioner.”

Maha Kalika Devi 

The goddess is stated to destroy evil in order to defend the innocent.

OSHO

Loneliness is a misunderstood aloneness. Once you misunderstand your aloneness as loneliness, the whole context changes. Aloneness has a beauty and grandeur, a positivity; loneliness is poor, negative, dark, dismal. Loneliness is a gap. Something is missing, something is needed to fill it, and nothing can ever fill it because it is a misunderstanding in the first place. As you grow older, the gap also grows bigger. 

People are so afraid to be by themselves that they do any kind of stupid thing. I have seen people playing cards alone; the other party is not there. They have invented games in which the same person plays cards from both sides. Those who have known aloneness say something absolutely different. They say there is nothing more beautiful, more peaceful, more joyful than being alone.

Love, Freedom, Aloneness THE KOAN OF RELATIONSHIPS Osho St. Martin’s Griffin New York

OSHO

If you want to be an authentic individual, use sadness; don’t escape from it. It is a great blessing. Sit silently with it, rejoice in it. There is nothing wrong in being sad. And the more you become acquainted with it and its subtle nuances, you will be surprised—it is a great relaxation, a great rest, and you come out of it rejuvenated, refreshed, younger, livelier. And once you have tasted it, you will seek those beautiful moments of sadness again and again. You will wait for them, you will welcome them, and they will open new doors of your aloneness . . . 

Alone you are born, alone you will die. Between these two alonenesses you can deceive yourself that you are not alone, that you have a wife, a husband, children, money, power. But between these two alonenesses you are alone. Everything is just to keep yourself engaged in something or other, so that you don’t become aware of it.

If you come to doubt, I'll give you every reason to doubt. If you come suspicious, I'll give you every reason to be suspicious. But if you come seeking Love, I'll show you more love than you've ever known

Love. 

Buddha says: If the mind does not arise all things are blameless. 

What more is there to be said: And even this much is enough to blame everything!

Once you are in tune with me, you cannot lose me. You can again and again fall in line with me wherever you are, because it is something of the inner. It has nothing to do with the physical presence. Any moment, anywhere, you can close your eyes and remember me, and you will find me just close by.
