From Ganesan

Q:
Why do we see such permanency and constancy in the waking state?

Maharshi:
It is seen on account of wrong ideas. When someone says that he took a bath in the same river twice, he is wrong because when he bathed for the second time, the river was not the same as it was when he bathed for the first time.... On seeing the brightness of a flame, a man says that he sees the same flame, but the flame is changing every second... The waking state is also like this. The stationary appearance is an error of perception.

The Power of the Presence Pt.1, David Godman, ed., p. 252

From a conversation between Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and Swami Vivekananda--

Swami Vivekananda: I can't find free time. Life has become hectic.

Ramakrishna Paramahamsa: Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you free.

Swami Vivekananda: Why has life become complicated now?

Ramakrishna Paramahamsa: Stop analyzing life.. It makes it complicated. Just live it.

Swami Vivekananda: Why are we then constantly unhappy?

Ramakrishna Paramahamsa: Worrying has become your habit. That's why you are not happy.

“The program was 8 days of living in the Heart and I received much more than I expected. The silence (inner and outer) was powerful, restorative and transformative. My level of trust in and love for myself has deepened. I really appreciate and resonate with the clear step-by-step Self-Inquiry process. I experienced the joy of being in conscious company and meditation for extended periods.” Anonymous, FL

“I am experiencing joy and wonder! I got much more than I expected from I SIT. Self-Inquiry is a fast track to the Heart, calmness and peace. I received motivation to continue the journey of Conscious Awareness. Now I have a better understanding of the difference between traditional meditation and Self-Inquiry, and a meaningful interest in living a spiritual life. I recommend this to others.” Anonymous, Canada
