Do not look for God,

look for the one looking for God...

But why look at all?
God is not lost,

God is right here...

closer than your own breath.

~Rumi

This was taped on my door when I returned home,
after my Valentines vacation with my Beloved;
my sister had left it there for me....

In the spirit of this Lovely Love day being everyday -
here's one more Valentine...
hope you can read it!

WUV!!!!!!!!

(ps... click on the cartoon, it shows a larger, easier to read version...)

****

When the mind eventually sinks in the Heart,

undistrubed Bliss is overwhelmingly felt.

There is then a feeling that is not divorced from pure Awareness,

head and Heart become one in the same...

~Sri Sri Ramana Maharshi

****

HAPPPY VALENTINES DAY TO ALL....LOVE!

****

Always remember deep in your heart that all is well,

and everything is unfolding as it should.

There are no mistakes anywhere, at any time.

What appears to be wrong is simply your
own false imagination.. That's all.

We live in a Universe of Brahman, of Absolute Reality,

Self contained Consciousness,

where there's perfection, perfect life, perfect bliss, perfect being.

That perfection knows nothing about wrong and right,
good and bad, happy and sad.
It knows only itself as Perfection,
and You are That.

~Robert Adams

****

In all ten directions of the universe,

there is only one Truth.
When we can see clearly, the great teachings are the same.

What can ever be lost? What can be attained?
If we attain something, it was there from the beginning of time.
If we lose something, it is hiding somewhere near us.

Look: this ball in my pocket...

can you see how priceless it is?

~Ryokan (1758-1811)

"You simply cannot deny that you are Consciousness.
You dwell in the Lotus of the Heart as Joy in Bliss.
Keep Quiet and you will reveal your Self to your Self."

Papaji (H. L. Poonja)

****

Reason has no way to say its Love.

Only Love opens that secret.

If you want to be more alive,
Love
is the Truest health.

~Rumi

****

The great sea has set me in motion,

set me adrift...

moving me like a weed in a river.

The sky and the strong wind

have moved the spirit inside me
till I am carried away

trembling with Joy...

Uvanuk
(mid-19th Early 20th Century)

****

Ten thousand flowers in spring,
the moon in autumn,
a cool breeze in summer,
snow in winter.

If your mind is not clouded by unecessary things...
this is the best season of your life.

Wu-men (1183-1260)

****

When emptiness is still...

that is eternity.

When it moves...
that is Love.

~Adyashanti

****

God is a pure no-thing,
concealed in now and here...

the less you reach for him,
the more he will appear.

Angelus Silesius (1624-1677)
