Quote by Ramana Maharshi

“Does the realized being tell you that the world is full of pain? It is the other one who feels the pain and seeks the help of the wise saying that the world is painful. Then the wise one explains from his experience that if one withdraws within the Self, there is an end of pain. The pain is felt so long as the object is different from oneself. But when the Self is found to be an undivided whole, who and what is there to feel? The realized mind is the Holy Spirit and the other mind is the home of the devil. For the realized being this is the Kingdom of Heaven: „The Kingdom of Heaven is within you.“ That Kingdom is here and now. (p. 387)”

And sometimes the cost of love is pain, grief, and heartbreak. Love means laying down our lives:”

“Jesus is saying the defining mark of His Church is that she will move to every place hell attempts to set up camp and when she arrives, the enemy will have no choice but to flee. The work of the Church is the continual eviction of the kingdom of darkness in her city.”

“Esiste un certo pro-Principio regale, pro-privo di intelligibilità, pro-privo di sostanza e pro-dotato di rotondità, che chiamiamo Zucca. Con questa Zucca coesiste una potenza che chiamiamo anche Supervacuità. Questa zucca e questa Supervacuità essendo uno, hanno emesso, senza emettere, un Frutto visibile da ogni parte, commestibile e gustoso, che il linguaggio chiama Cetriolo. Con questo Cetriolo coesiste una potenza della sua stessa sostanza, e che io chiamo Melone. Queste potenze, ossia Zucca, Supervacuità, Cetriolo e Melone hanno scritto tutto il resto della moltitudine dei meloni deliranti di Valentino.”
