In 1855 President Franklin Pierce of the United States made a “request” to Chief Seathl1 of the Suwamish tribe of Indians (who lived in what is now the State of Washington) to “sell” his land to the government. In reply, Chief Seathl sent the following letter to the President: “The great chief in Washington sends word that he wishes to buy our land. The great chief also sends us words of friendship and goodwill. This is kind of him, since we know that he has little need of our friendsh
No book of spiritual teachings can replace the presence of a teacher. Only the word spoken directly by the Guru, loses its opacity completely. In the presence of a Guru, the last boundaries imagined by the mind disappear. Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj is indeed such a Guru. He is not a preacher, but he offers exactly what a seeker needs. The reality that emanates from his words is inalienable and absolute. It’s authentic. Those who have experienced his words described in the
“Those who are immersed in the consciousness of the body are like strangers in an unknown country. The country where we were born is Ubiquitous, on this earth we are just travelers – guests on a short visit. Unfortunately, many people become unwanted guests for others. They insist on monopolizing small portions of this earth, as if they belonged to them forever. Their constant thoughts are ” my house, my wife, my husband, my children”. Attachment to material things, apparently

“It is said that there was once, a Tibetan monk who would have decided to go on pilgrimage to India. When he left, his grandmother asked him to bring him from there a precious relic, which would offer support to his faith. The monk went on pilgrimage, and when he arrived in India he visited a lot of temples and monasteries, copying sacred texts and learning all kinds of religious rituals. Then he took the road home. Just when he had little left to get to his village, he remembered the good prayer
Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP or NLP after the Abbreviation in English) appeared in the 70s. His parents, linguist John Grinder, and psychology student Richard Bandler had set out to observe how successful psychotherapists managed to alter the behavior of their patients. In the preface of their first book, Virginia Satir, among those studied, wrote: “this book is the result of the efforts of two young people interested in finding out how the changes take place
For the famous “Talks” of Sri Bhagavan Ramana Maharisi, we must be grateful first of all to Swami Ramanananda Saraswati, for noting these discussions, in fact questions asked by those who came to visit the master and his answers, full of wisdom. Although the Great Sage of Arunachala was adept at spreading his teaching especially through silence, in his presence, he trained his disciples and through discourses, through answers
In the current era, perhaps the most fascinating unsolved scientific mystery is the game of life itself, the mystery in which it begins and ends. Do we really know where we’re coming from and where we’re going? Why are we so afraid of death? Maybe it’s because our greatest fear is that we can’t imagine our non-existence. The vast majority of people believe that after the death of the fizc body, they will disappear without a trace, and they will only be… nothingness, and this

When you want something, the whole universe conspires to realize your dream, said the Alchemist, repeating the words of the old king. The lad understood. Someone else had appeared on his way to lead him to his Personal Legend. ― Then are you going to teach me? Nope. You know everything you need. I’ll just help you find your way to the treasure. There’s war between clans, repeats the lad. – I know the desert. I have already found my treasure. I have a camel, money
Questions asked to Baghavan on various occasions by those who came to visit him in his ashram. Question: “What is Illusion?” Baghavan’s answer (Ramana Maharisi): For whom is illusion? Find out and then the illusion will disappear. In general, people want to know about the illusion and do not examine for whom it appears in this way. It’s crazy. The illusion is outside of us and represents the unknown. But the seeker is considered to be known and is found inside. Find out who is right away and close
We have no reason not to love… because we don’t have time for that… we have time (or should we have time) ONLY FOR LOVE. Time will pass by us… anyhow. if we choose what to love and what not to love, WE ARE WRONG. Because love is a great opportunity that is offered to us, not a severe calculation and burdened by dogmas and prejudices. Not the others from whom we come, somehow, our prejudices are to blame for our unloving but we ourselves are the ones who lose the chance of love, when the pure color
We will give you here a part of the questions I was asked and the answers offered. Is there a special reason why you call us- already a second time- to meditation? Yes. In order to be able to ascend spiritually, even if you are integrated into many activities, master meditation is a great chance, which allows a group of people to use their united force and evolve spiritually in a night maybe as much as in 50 years in the usual way. Of course this is a general assessment, because

It means someone is coming
On October 2, 1869, a remarkable man was born in India. This man’s dream was to change humanity for the better. He led India to independence, and initiated social movements that campaigned for non-violence, civil rights and freedom around the world until the end of his life, when he was assassinated in 1948. This man was of course none other than the great Mahatma Gandhi. The honorary title of Mahatma which in translation means “The Great Soul” was his
If it has ever happened to you to have a dream where you were aware that you were dreaming, it can be said that you had the experience of a lucid dream. When this happens to us for the first time, it can be a shocking experience, and usually the dreamer wakes up quickly, because he does not feel comfortable with this experience. It can be very strange for the first time, to become aware that you are in a dream because the state in which we dream, is perceived at that moment as reality. The dream l
This text was written by Paramahamsa Yogananda following the revelations he had in a deep state of samadhi I sought love in many lifetimes. I shed the bitter tears of separation and repentance to know what love is. I sacrificed everything, all attachments and illusions, to finally learn that I am in love with love – with God – just that. Then I drank love from all the true hearts. We have seen that He is the Only Cosmic Lover, the Unique
Any practice that brings you joy and makes you feel bright and light is good to include it in your daily routine. As yogis, the most important tool is the attitude with which you approach the practice and not the practice itself, which promises a positive consistent experience. There is a Zen Buddhist proverb, well known, which in its simplicity is profound and holds the key to a truly happy life:, “Before enlightenment cut wood and carry water, d
Anyone can find that it is USUALLY much easier to get results when we come to the gym and do yoga together. The influence of the spiritual group (especially when it acts in unison) and of the spiritual teacher or master can be so important that the results are much greater, more significant, more intense than if we acted alone. How important is this phenomenon? The effect can be a huge one, the efficiency of our efforts can be
<>In the Buddhist-Tibetan tradition, the Form of Vajrayana, the concept of a protective spirit or Yidam is met; meditation on this spirit is an important form in the practice of those on this path, in order to realize the illusory nature of Yidam.

Question: “What is ego?” Mata Amritanandamayi: You’re actually asking me what non-reality is. But how could it be described? What’s the point of talking about something that is not real, that is non-existent? And how can you talk about what is real? I’ll just give you a few pointers. The mind is the EGO. But the EGO is a big lie. He’s not real. There was once a cattleman who would take his cows to graze every morning and bring them back to the stable every night. Î
