“ The Self is always available, is always here. There never was a time when the Self was not. Do not make it complicated for yourself. Simply return to what you were by letting go of everything else. By not reacting to the world. By diving deep within, into the heart center where the true reality awaits you. You are a divine being, a spiritual being. You are not the body or the mind. Know yourself, be yourself! Awaken to the Self! Forget about reincarnation. Reincarnation is not for you. It is for the deluded ones. You are free of all karma, free of all samskaras, free of playing games. Feel your freedom. All is Well.”
Robert Adams

Q: Can I change facts by changing attitude?
M: The attitude is the fact. Take anger. I may be furious, pacing the room up and down; at the same time, I know what I am, a center of wisdom and love, an atom of pure existence. All subsidies and the mind merges into silence.
Q: Still, you are angry sometimes.
M: With whom am l to be angry and for what? Anger came and dissolved on my remembering myself. It is all a play of gunas (qualities of cosmic matter). When I identify myself with them, I am their slave. When I stand apart, I am their master.

favorite thing!
Q: If you are in that state of beingness, is it necessary to say one's mantra?
M: Suppose you are a woman and you have not been accepting yourself as a woman, so you are told you are a woman.
This is the mantra "I am a woman, I am a woman." When you are convinced you are a woman, are you going to repeat,
"I am a woman, I am a woman"? When you are THAT there is no question of choice.
Choice is at the level of body-mind, whether to say the mantra or not to say it.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.

29th November, 1935. Talk 107
Later the Yogi (Swami Yogananda) asked: How is the spiritual uplift of the people to be effected? What are the instructions to be given them?
M.: They differ according to the temperaments of the individuals and according to the spiritual ripeness of their minds. There cannot be any instruction en masse.
D.: Why does God permit suffering in the world? Should He not with His omnipotence do away with it at one stroke and ordain the universal realisation of God?
M.: Suffering is the way for Realisation of God.
D.: Should He not ordain differently?
M.: It is the way.
D.: Are Yoga, religion, etc., antidotes to suffering?
M.: They help you to overcome suffering.
D.: Why should there be suffering?
M.: Who suffers? What is suffering?
(No answer)
Finally, the Yogi rose up, prayed for Sri Bhagavan' s blessings for his own work and expressed great regret for his hasty return. He looked very sincere and devoted and even emotional.

“The realisation of the Supreme Being (Paramatma) as our own self is the realisation of Truth. The universe is the outcome of imagination. Then why try to get a superficial knowledge of the imaginative universe, rather than acquire the knowledge of self (Truth)?”

“ The experience of both imprisonment and release is of illusion. But the experience of the final freedom is of reality. The emancipated soul then experiences continuously and eternally its own infinite freedom.
The world exists only as long as the soul experiences bondage. When the soul realises itself as reality, the world vanishes, for it never was. And the soul experiences itself as being infinite and eternal.”
Mehr Baba
