True forgiveness and love arise naturally, effortlessly, from the silence of the heart broken all the way open.
GangajiAll of the searching, all of the struggling, all of the efforting to find your true self is naturally revealed in open, relaxed simplicity.
GangajiThe word God, to me, is like the word enlightenment. It's become so corrupted by our ideas of what God is.
GangajiWhen all mental activity around who you think you are or what you need for happiness is stopped, there is a crack in the authority of perception, in the structure of the mind. I invite you to enter through that crack. Come in through that opening. When you do, the mind is no longer filled with its latest self-definition. In that moment, there is only silence. And in that silence, it is possible to recognize absolute fulfilment: the truth of who you are.
GangajiTrue, absolute silence and true, absolute love are not different. Absolute silent awareness overflows with simple, fulfilled absolute love. Objects - people, nature, emotions - may or may not appear. Objects are not needed and they are welcomed. The joy of this full silence is uncaused and unlimited. Always here, always discovering itself. It is the treasure, and it is hidden only when we refuse to keep quiet and find out who we are.
