Stillness

Like water which can clearly mirror the sky and the trees only so long as its surface is undisturbed, the mind can only reflect the true image of the Self when it is tranquil and wholly relaxed. ~Indra Devi

Painting: Silent Wisdom by Sundara Fawn

A quiet mind married to integrity of heart is the birth of wisdom. ~Adyashanti

Me in Peru at Machu Picchu with Alpacas

In the stillness of your presence, you can feel your own formless and timeless reality as the unmanifested life that animates your physical form.  You can then feel the same life deep within every other human and every other creature.  You look beyond the veil of form and separation.  This is the realization of oneness.  This is love. ~Eckhart Tolle

The self must know stillness before it can discover its true song. ~Ralph Blum

There is a presence, a silence, a stillness which is here by itself. There is no doer of it, no creator of this stillness. It is simply here in you, with you. It is the fragrance of your own self. There is nothing to do about this, it is naturally present. This fragrance of peace, this spaciousness, it is the fragrance of your own being. ~Mooji
