“Go deeply into the urge to be silent and not the mental interference of how, where and when. If you follow silence to its source you can be taken by it in a moment.” SilenceMeditationStillnessNondualityRetreatVedantaContemplative PrayerPure PrayerPrayerfulness Book:Who Am I?: The Sacred Quest Source: Who Am I?: The Sacred Quest
“Deep inquiry leads to contemplation, or prayer. Through dedicated contemplation we can attune to consciousness, the light which constitutes all phenomena. This light is our intrinsic nature. Our being is always shining. Our real nature is openness, listening, release, surrender without producing or will. Prayer or contemplation is welcoming free from projection and expectation. It is without demand and formulation. It invites the object to unfold in you and reveals your openness to you. Live with this opening, this vastness. Attune yourself to it. It is love. Ardent contemplation brings you to living meditation so ultimately they are one.” LoveSilenceOnenessStillnessNondualityPresenceVedantaContemplative PrayerPure PrayerPrayerfulness Book:Who Am I?: The Sacred Quest Source: Who Am I?: The Sacred Quest
