Awakened Awareness: Know Thyself!

What you call love is not created by another. It is your own fullness. The changes of the other belong to the mind. Remain as the Self, and love remains the same. -The Still Point

Silence is of four kinds: silence of speech, silence of the eye, silence of the ear, and silence of the mind. Only the last is pure silence and is the most important. ~ Sri Ramana Maharshi

Relief never arrives as predicted, because the mechanism that seeks it is itself the unrest. The very movement that tries to secure peace creates the feeling of being insecure. It is not that desire is wrong. It is that the sense of a separate manager—trying to convert life into a guarantee—cannot be satisfied, because it is built out of dissatisfaction. -The Still Point

“Everything is temporary” isn’t a lullaby. It’s a discipline. Yes — it will pass. So stop tightening around it. Do what needs doing. Then let it move through. A calm man isn’t passive. He’s not grabbing life by the throat. -Man in Presence
