Never defile yourself by hating yourself. Never believe there is any mistake you’ve made that is going to rise up against you. Everyone has made mistakes, forget it. Begin to realize who you are, lift yourself up and become free. Robert Adams
I have learned so much from God that I can no longer call myself a Christian, a Hindu, a Muslim, a Buddhist, a Jew. The truth has shared so much of itself with me that I can no longer call myself a man, a woman, an angel, or even a pure soul. Hafiz
Never believe there is any mistake you’ve made that is going to rise up against you. Everyone has made mistakes, forget it. Begin to realize who you are, begin to love yourself dearly, have mercy on yourself, lift yourself up and become free. Robert Adams
Can you stop the wars? He who made the world will take care of it. Can you stop the wars or reform the world? No? Then why do you worry yourself about what is not possible for you? Take care of yourself and the world will take care of itself. Ramana Maharshi, Talk 480
Truth is not a reward for good behavior, nor a prize for passing some tests. It cannot be brought about. It is the primary, unborn, the ancient source of all that is. You are eligible because you are. You need not merit truth. It is your own. Stand still, be quiet. Nisargadatta
As long as you are ignorant of yourself as the creator, your world is limited and repetitive. Once you go beyond your self-identification with your past, you are free to create a new world of harmony and beauty. Or you just remain, beyond being and non-being. Nisargadatta
Peace is always present. Get rid of the disturbances to peace. This peace is the Self. The thoughts are the disturbances. When free from them, you are Infinite Intelligence, i.e., the Self, there is perfection and peace. Ramana Maharshi, Talk 480
The "I am" in movement creates the world. The "I am" at peace becomes the Absolute. Of course you can [change the world you project]. But you must cease identifying yourself with it and go beyond. Then you have the power to destroy and re-create. Nisargadatta
