It is only through silent awareness that our physical and mental nature can change. This change is completely spontaneous. If we make an effort to change we do no more than shift our attention from one level, from one thing, to another. We remain in a vicious circle. This only transfers energy from one point to another. It still leaves us oscillating between suffering and pleasure, each leading inevitably back to the other. Only living stillness, stillness without someone trying to be still, is capable of undoing the conditioning our biologoical, emotional and psychological nature has undergone. There is no controller, no selector, no personality making choices. In choiceless living the situation is given the freedom to unfold. You do not grasp one aspect over another for there is nobody to grasp. When you understand something and live it without being stuck to the formulation, what you have understood dissolves in your openness. In this silence change takes place of its own accord, the problem is resolved and duality ends. You are left in your glory where no one has understood and nothing has been understood.

If Christ attained the state of Absolute Divinity, so can you. And once you do, then only you will understand the true meaning of Religion and God.
I do not hail myself as an atheist, for I am not an atheist. In fact, I have met God, felt God and even lived in God, same as the prophets of human history. But mark you, humanism cannot be compromised because of some doctrines presented as God__ command. In the domain of transcendence, all commands received by the mind, are created by the mind itself. They manifest as divine revelations, but in reality, they are revelations rising from the mind itself. And as such, they have potential to be both good and evil.
You are never alone. You are eternally connected with everyone.
Without the Mind, there is no God. Without you, there is no God.
Your mind is not merely the vehicle of God, rather it is the life-force that keeps God alive. Without the Mind, there is no God. Without you, there is no God.
To think, or not to think...This is the true question.
Who do you love more, your thoughts or God?
what is not true does not exist in this moment.
Have you ever seen a stereogram?The 'Truth' the Stereogram shows us is there in front of us. Training and work doesn't make us see it.It's a point of view, a different way of looking at it.When you see it you try to explain it to someone else and yourealize you can't.It simple, super simple, yet almost impossible to explain.There are 'techniques' to see them but some people may spendyears trying without results. Others can do it in seconds.It doesn't change the fact that the image is there all the time infront of us.And it's Beautiful.

Om was there in the existence, when no religion was formed or founded. It will be there in the existence, if all the religions are demolished.
I once renounced my home in Calcutta, and roamed around the villages of Bengal as a monk. But after I attained the Absolute Divine state of Unification with the Universe, I realized that the purpose of life is not renunciation of anything, but the realization of the purpose itself.
I just realized that I don't have to have an opinion about everything--what a relief!
