Giving Light...

"Transforming yourself is a means of giving light to the whole world."
                                                                                ~Ramana Maharshi

I love to think about light. How light gives life. How we are all made of light. How light vibrates at different frequencies to reveal colors. One of the quotes that is with me every moment is what Buddha said as he was dying.

"Make of yourself a light." Five little words that change everything! I guess actually, we are light whether we make ourselves or not. But I think that we shine a lot brighter and stronger if we know we are light and we live with the intention to shine.

So, let's just shine on...

Your True Nature ~ Infinite Spirit

We try to grasp something strange and mysterious because we believe happiness lies elsewhere. This is the mistake. The Self is all-pervading. Our real nature is liberation, but we imagine that we are bound, we make strenuous efforts to become free, although all the while we are free.


Birth and death pertain only to the body, they are superimposed upon the Self, giving rise to the delusion that birth and death relate to the Self. The universe exists within the Self. Discover the undying Self and be immortal and happy. Be yourself and nothing more. Thoughts change but not you. 


There is neither past nor future; there is only the present. Yesterday was the present when you experienced it; tomorrow will also be the present when you experience it, therefore, experience takes place only in the present, and even the present is mere imagination, for the sense of time is purely mental.

All that is required to realize the Self is to be still. What can be easier than that? Your true nature is that of infinite spirit.                 ~ Ramana Maharshi
