Buddhas Quotes and Sayings

• So long as you seek Self-realization the Guru is necessary. Guru is the Self. Take Guru to be the real Self and your self as the individual self. The disappearance of this sense of duality is the removal of ignorance. So long as duality persists in you the Guru is necessary. Because you identify yourself with the body you think that the Guru is also a body. You are not the body, nor is the Guru. You are the Self and so is the Guru. This knowledge is gained by what you call Self-realization. - Ramana Maharshi
   

• Deep contentment is the visible sign of love. Whenever a person is in love, he is in deep contentment. Love cannot be seen, but contentment, the deep satisfaction around him…his every breath, his every movement, his very being is content. - Osho
   

• To become aware of ignorance is the beginning of candor, of honesty. To be unaware of ignorance breeds obstinacy and credulity. Without being aware of ignorance, to try to become honest only leads to further confusion. Without self-knowledge mere sincerity is narrowness and gullibility. If one begins to be self-aware and observes what is candor, then confusion yields to clarity - Jiddu Krishnamurti
   

• A real person takes the courage to move with things that make him happy. If he remains poor, he remains poor; he has no complaint about it, he has no grudge. He says: “I have chosen my way — I have chosen the cuckoos and the butterflies and the flowers. I cannot be rich, that’s okay! But I am rich because I am happy.” - Osho
   

• Undivided loyalty to the Master does not introduce any narrowness in the sphere of the life of the disciple. To serve the Master is to serve your own self in every other self. The Master dwells in Universal Consciousness and wills universal spiritual well-being: to serve the Master is therefore, to participate in his cause which is to serve all life. - Meher Baba
   

• While sharing the work of the Master, the disciple may he required to be in touch with the world; but though moving in the world in accordance with the work which is in store for him he is in inward contact with the Master as Infinite Being. Therefore, by sharing the work of the Master the disciple comes closer to him and becomes an integral part of his consciousness. Serving the Master is the quickest means of realising him. - Meher Baba
