      In moments of transcendence,
             when time stands still,
         your biological clock will stop.

The spirit is that domain of our awareness
              where there is no time.

                                                                                            Deepak Chopra

Life has come from a very beautiful source. If you remain in touch with that source, everything about you will be beautiful. ~ Jaggi Vasudev


And that is the essence of wisdom—to be in harmony with nature, with the natural rhythm of the universe. And whenever you are in harmony with the natural rhythm of the universe, you are a poet, you are a painter, you are a musician, you are a dancer. ~ Osho


Without love there is no art. When the artist is playing beautifully there is no ’me'; there is love and beauty, and this is art. This is skill in action. ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti


All true artists, whether they know it or not, create from a place of no-mind, from inner stillness. The mind then gives form to the creative impulse or insight. ~ Eckhart Tolle

Whenever you have the chance, laugh as much as you can. ~ Anandamayi Ma


When anybody laughs he has no thought, there is no mind, and there is no suffering. It is the mind that suffers. Therefore laugh away your problems. ~ H.W.Poonja


While you are laughing you cannot be in the past or future. ~ Osho


When you really laugh, for those few moments you are in a deep meditative state. Thinking stops. It is impossible to laugh and think together. When you really laugh, suddenly, the mind disappears. And the whole Zen methodology is how to get into no-mind. ~ Osho

Don’t take the ego too seriously. When you detect egoic behavior in yourself, smile. At times you may even laugh. ~ Eckhart Tolle


Laughter is good for thinking because when people laugh, it is easier for them to admit new ideas to their minds. ~ Dalai Lama


Nothing kills the ego like playfulness, like laughter. When you start taking life as fun, the ego has to die, it cannot exist anymore. ~ Osho


Because only man is capable to laugh, that means laughter is the highest point of consciousness, the highest point of understanding, the highest point of evolution. That's why I have started calling laughter 'the prayer time'. ~ Osho

The Self, our Being, is awareness. ~ Sri Muruganar


The Self stands beyond the mind. ~ Nisargadatta Maharaj


All happiness comes from awareness. ~ Nisargadatta Maharaj


The Self (awareness) alone can give you happiness. All happiness is from the Self. All trouble, sorrow and suffering is from the mind. ~ H.W.Poonja


If you do not mess your mind, you will naturally be joyful. ~ Jaggi Vasudev

Mind as a slave to consciousness is a beautiful servant; mind as a master of consciousness is a dangerous master. ~ Osho


Mind is nothing but the absence of your presence. ~ Eckhart Tolle


Awareness goes on growing higher and the mind goes on growing smaller – in the same proportion. If awareness is fifty percent then mind is cut to fifty percent. If awareness is seventy percent, only thirty percent of the mind remains. The day awareness is a hundred percent, there is no mind to be found at all. ~ Osho


To become conscious of Being, you need to reclaim consciousness from the mind. This is one of the most essential tasks on your spiritual journey. It will free vast amounts of consciousness that previously had been trapped in useless and compulsive thinking. ~ Eckhart Tolle

A situation becomes stressful only when you compulsively react to it. ~ Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev


If you shift from compulsiveness to consciousness, being joyful will not be an effort. ~ Jaggi Vasudev

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

There is one thing that can erase the karma that is awareness. Knowledge. Self-awareness, if you are aware of yourself, if you are in total love, then you are free from karma. ~ Sri Sri Ravi Shankar


Awareness has the strength to dissolve and destroy any karma. ~ Sri Sri Ravi Shankar


If you just live totally, you will dissolve lots of karma. Living totally means that you experience anything that comes fully and intensely. ~ Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev


The pain-body may seem to you like a dangerous monster that you cannot bear to look at, but I assure you that it is an insubstantial phantom that cannot prevail against the power of your presence. ~ Eckhart Tolle

Love these

Just heard a line in a song that relates to these quotes, funnily enough: 'There's no sense in dancing 'round the subject/ A wound gets worse when it's treated with neglect.' - The inimitable Stevie Nicks (from 'Talk To Me')
