Non Duality Quotes

“You are never alone. You are eternally connected with everyone.”
― Amit Ray, Meditation: Insights and Inspirations

“It is only through silent awareness that our physical and mental nature can change. This change is completely spontaneous. If we make an effort to change we do no more than shift our attention from one level, from one thing, to another. We remain in a vicious circle. This only transfers energy from one point to another. It still leaves us oscillating between suffering and pleasure, each leading inevitably back to the other. Only living stillness, stillness without someone trying to be still, is capable of undoing the conditioning our biologoical, emotional and psychological nature has undergone. There is no controller, no selector, no personality making choices. In choiceless living the situation is given the freedom to unfold. You do not grasp one aspect over another for there is nobody to grasp. When you understand something and live it without being stuck to the formulation, what you have understood dissolves in your openness. In this silence change takes place of its own accord, the problem is resolved and duality ends. You are left in your glory where no one has understood and nothing has been understood.”
― Jean Klein, I Am

“Every adventure allegorically retelling the same essential truth, which was that we are all so much more than we have been led to believe. We are the random spark in the vacuum and the eternal ripple that spreads infinitely from its serendipitous source. We are all of it. Everything that has been, will be, or ever could be.”
― Casey Fisher, The Subtle Cause

“Just as there is an interdependence of flowers and bees, where there are no flowers, there are no bees, and where there are no bees, there are no flowers. They're really one organism. And so, in the same way, everything in nature depends on everything else. So it's interconnected. And so the many many patterns of interconnections lock it all together into a unity, which is, however, much too complicated for us to think about, except in very very simple crude ways. But I am part of all this. I am, as it were, one of the cells in this tremendous brain, which I can't understand because the part can't comprehend the whole.”
― Alan Watts

“The real pilgrimage is a journey into the unknowable.”
― Meeta Ahluwalia

“If the infinite is to manifest the potential that lies within it in form, then the mechanism by which it does so is this apparent division of itself into a subject and object. Now there is duality. The subject-object relationship is the mechanism by which the manifest — the potential that lies unmanifest in the infinite — is realized in form. But it comes at a price [...]”

“You are not the reflection seen in the mirror but the observing presence that sees it.”

“If we say, 'This is it,' the words create the very split they attempt to point beyond. If we say 'All is One,' it is one too many. If we call it 'nothing,' it seems to deny the undeniable presence of everything. If we assert that 'there is nothing to do,' it seems to overlook the necessity of doing whatever we are moved by life to do. If we assert that 'there is something to do,' it makes it sound as if something else is required in order to be what we already are. The dualistic mind grasps, reifies, asserts, denies and fixates. It takes positions and clings to those positions, mistaking them for reality. It identifies with its positions and feels threatened when they are questioned. But to cling to any conceptual map of reality is to miss the ever-changing actuality of this-here-now.”
― Joan Tollifson, Nothing to Grasp
