Transforming Quotes-1

Sometimes we are stuck in our life and we need a way to come out of it. If we are a bit aware then even one genuine quote can not only get us out, but can also transform our lives. With that intention, I am sharing a few good quotes, including those by the enlightened ones.

Before that, I would suggest you to read the quotes in the following fashion or manner:

How to read quotes :

• Go slow while reading quotes. Stop other work.

• First time read the quotes as it is, word to word without understanding the meaning, but with full attention.

• Close your eyes for a few seconds. Let the quote penetrate into your subconscious mind (Here the transformation happens). Do not contemplate now.

• Open your eyes and read the quotation again as you read it generally with contemplation and understanding.

• Then go for the next quote in the similar fashion given above.

Now for the Transforming Quotes:

1. "Bliss is not something to be got. On the other hand you are always Bliss. This desire [for Bliss] is born of the sense of incompleteness.  

To whom is this sense of incompleteness? Enquire. In deep sleep you were blissful. Now you are not so. What has interposed between that Bliss and this non-bliss? It is the ego. Seek its source and find you are Bliss." – Ramana Maharishi

2. “A person searching for God is like a fish searching for water.” – Unknown

3. “We are not human beings having Spiritual Experience, but Spiritual Beings having Human Experiences” - Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

4. "Most of us do not know what love means. So, out of that loneliness, out of that insufficiency, out of the privation of life, we are attached to something, attached to the family; we depend upon it. And when the wife or the husband turns away from us, we are jealous.

Jealousy is not love; but the love which society acknowledges in the family is made respectable. That is another form of defense, another form of escape from ourselves.  So every form of resistance breeds dependence.

And a mind that is dependent can never be free." – J. Krishnamurti

5. “Religion is belief in someone else’s experience. Spirituality is having your own experience” – Deepak Chopra

6. "Surrender gives you the eyes to see God, and everything that is brought to these eyes becomes Divine." - Osho

7. "All the gadgets, jets, the refrigerators, the rockets, the exploration into the atom, space, they are all the result of knowledge, thought. All these are not creation; invention is not creation; capacity is not creation; thought can never be creative because thought is always conditioned and can never be free. It is only that energy which is not the product of thought that is creative." – J. Krishnamurti

8. "The highest form of human intelligence is to observe yourself without judgment." – J. Krishnamurti

9. "The more you know yourself, the more clarity there is. Self-knowledge has no end - you don't come to an achievement, you don't come to a conclusion. It is an endless river." – J. Krishnamurti

10. "Self-knowledge is the beginning of meditation - not the knowledge that you pick up from my books, from authorities, from gurus, but the knowledge that comes into being through self-inquiry, which is self-awareness." - J. Krishnamurti
