Sublime

Jamgön Kongtrul Lodrö Tayé said that if you long for a guru but are still searching, there is always Shakyamuni Buddha, our common guru. Pray to him that the appropriate guru or gurus will appear to guide you.

One of these great saints, Ramana Maharshi, used to ask, “Who am I?” We see now that this is a very deep question. Ask it ceaselessly, constantly. Ask it and you will notice that you are the answer. There is no intellectual answer—you are the answer. Be the answer, and everything will change.

The spiritual teacher Nisargadatta Maharaj made this beautiful statement: “Wisdom says I am nothing. Love says I am everything. Between the two my life flows.”

“When I see that I am nothing, this is Wisdom. When I see that I am everything, this is Love. Between these two valleys, my life flows.”
