No matter what tradition or era we find ourselves in, there is a permanent unchanging TRUTH that BECKONS to be known. Through different fields of endeavor and by different means, humanity has sought this Truth. The ultimate goal of ALL introspective practice is to bring us directly in touch with That Reality, and when we do, universally the experience is the same: Clarity, Bliss and an ultimate Expansion of Self, or Liberation, that is impossible to capture in words, it can only be experienced. It is what scriptures call salvation, and what perhaps only poetry can give us a taste of, short of the experience itself. Below are some brief expressions of this unparalleled experience. ~ Gita Ma

"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now I am found, was blind but now I SEE."

"The goal is to learn the Eternal Truth, and stand steadfast in the realization of the Central Unity everywhere, with no room for conflict or confusion at all.” - Babaji Nagaraj

"The real Self is not an experience of individuality, but a non-personal, all inclusive Awareness." - Ramana Maharshi

" Be Still and Know 'I AM GOD'. " - The Bible

"The Father (Creator) and I (the Essence of Being) are ONE."   And...

"Love your neighbour as yourself." (as in Truth you are One Self) - Jesus Christ

"Yoga is the restraint of the modifications of the mind-stuff (mastery of the mind).  Then the Seer (Self) abides in Its own True Nature. Otherwise, the Self appears to assume the forms of mental modifications (ideas of self), which are either painful or painless (but modifications nonetheless, not the True Self)." - Sage Patanjali

"Truth is ONE, paths are many... let us live in Love and Light." - Swami Satchidananda

"Loving your Self is the greatest way to improve yourself... as you improve, you improve the world." - Joe Vitale

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. You playing small does not serve this world... We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us, it is in everyone." - Marianne Williamson

"There is One Creative Power, One Vast Etheric Creation, One Knower behind All knowing, OMnipotent, OMnipresent, OMniscient. Your SELF is nothing less than THAT. God in any language, Great Spirit, Cosmic Consciousness, the Field of All Possibilities. It goes by many names but in Truth is One Universal Presence throughout Creation."    - Gita Ma
