45. There is a deeper purpose that beats with the Heart of all of us.

Enlightenment with Rishi Atma Bodha

God may give you strength, if you ask for it. And even if you don't.

All of creation exists by its Grace.

The balance between retaining your individuality while also merging with the Infinite is the only "balance" to be concerned with.

The difference between a wise man and a foolish man, is that the foolish man is like a shallow stream and loudly proclaims all of the rocks and pebbles on the bottom as proof of his wisdom. The wise man is like a deep ocean, he cannot see the bottom so he is silent.

We are given the illusion of free will, but actually there's nothing that we can choose that can prevent the inevitable outcome of our eventual enlightenment. You will succeed in spite of yourself, the only question is if you want to sooner rather than later. Do you want to be a spectator or the star of your own life?

If you inspire people to be heroes, does that mean that you are taking away their free will?

Isn't that the greatest superpower? When we inspire others, we affect their free will and alter the course of their lives, for the better.

Inspiring others is not the same as manipulating them. When we feel enraptured by a scene of wondrous beauty like in nature, we don't feel manipulated by Nature, but enchanted by it.

Importantly, the intent is not to manipulate others to a specific end other than their own potential.

Once we acknowledge that we are at unexceedable limits, then we stagnate.

There is a deeper purpose that beats within the heart of all of us. And that commonality is what unites us and drives us toward a shared culmination.

Expansion is a constant.

Even God is in the continuous state of expansion. If you are not expanding, then you are not going with the flow.

An Illumined mind is stronger than a thousand or perhaps 10,000 or perhaps a million or more minds. The few have always been responsible for the most major shifts in history.

Most people don't realize that many of the thoughts in their head are not their own.

I don't believe in surrender to anyone or anything. Symbiosis or harmony with the object of your attention is always enough. No surrender, no retreat.

You can be fiercely independent and yet spiritual. You can submit to no one and no thing, and yet be more advanced than those that do.

Humility is not submission nor surrender.
