Ritesh Arora on Instagram: ""There is a substratum of all existence. It is love. It is absolute reality, pure awareness. And the substratum is your existence. That is what you are. You are God. The person is not God, the body is not God, but you are God. If you identify as God how can you possibly have a problem? Can God have a problem? Can God feel depressed? Can God believe something is wrong? The reason you will not accept the fact that you are God is because of your orthodox upbringing. You
Ritesh Arora on Instagram: ""When you ask for forgiveness or you forgive somebody else, it's the big ego that does that because you think you are good. You say, 'Now I have forgiven that person. I have asked that person to forgive me.' It's like saying, 'I can do it again and again.' Forget about that, but go within yourself and ask the question, 'Who needs forgiveness?' And you will realize that forgiveness and your ego are synonymous. When there is no ego there is no idea of forgiveness. The
Ritesh Arora on Instagram: "If you only knew who you were, if you only realized who you really were, what you were, who you are right now, who you've always been, it would make all the fireworks seem like nothing. Robert Adams. You have always been all-pervading. There never was a time when you were not. There never was a time when you were born. And there will never be a time when you vanish. Your true nature is nirvana. Robert Adams. There is nothing outside that is not within you. This i
Ritesh Arora on Instagram: ""We're dancing the dance of Shiva. We think we're something important. But we're really nothing as we appear. ..For your true nature is Brahman, absolute reality, pure awareness. This is what you really are , whether you like it or not." Robert Adams, January 19th, 1993 When you begin to identify with your real nature, which is love, then you sail through all the so-called calamities of life. But if you identify with the world of appear- ances, and as you know there
Sri Ramana Maharshi Teachings on Instagram: "Learn to live in the now. There really is no past and there's no future. There's only this moment, and in this moment all is well. I know it appears sort of rough to some of you. You're thinking of what you have to do next week. You have to pay your bills, you have to go to the doctor, you have to get married, you have to get divorced. Your needs, your wants, your passions, all these things go through your mind all the time. But if you would only le
Ritesh Arora on Instagram: ""Think of what it means to [be detached], how wonderful you will feel all the time. You'll never depend on people again for anything, yet you love people. It doesn't mean that you become sarcastic, obnoxious. It means that you become a loving being, an understanding being, a compassionate being. You leave things alone and you leave people alone. You turn within yourself. And all the answers are within yourself. All the answers that you've been looking for, everythin
Sri Ramana Maharshi Teachings on Instagram: "Actually the human body cannot keep silent. There's something else that enters the silence. It has nothing to do with your humanity. It's only after years perhaps of meditation in previous lives, that you can be mature enough to really know what this path is all about. When I give you these practices, it's not for you as a human being. You appear to be able to go through it as a human being, but I can assure you your humanity has nothing to do with i
Ritesh Arora on Instagram: ""Some people still ask me 'When you say you feel love, what do you mean?' The love that I feel is totally unconditioned. This is the reason I can love you no matter what you do, no matter how you act, no matter where you come from, no matter what's going on. I can love you because I love myself. And there is only one Self. So the Self that I love is you. It's not separate. If I loved you as a separate entity I'd have a problem, for the separateness would show me dif

Sri Ramana Maharshi Teachings on Instagram: "At one of my experiences in India, I was with a yogi called Neem Karoli Baba. And one day a bunch of us, and one of the people there was Ram Dass, you remember Ram Dass he was there too.
