Swami Rama

We all want to experience the all-pervading, omnipresent God from which the entire universe, as well as each individual, has evolved. 

The whole confusion lies in the fact that we do not understand ourselves, and yet we introduce ourselves to others. We are strangers to ourselves yet we get married, have children, have homes, and claim to love others.

To know yourself, you don’t have to go anywhere. If you want to know yourself, you have to follow the path from the grossest to the subtle, then to the subtler, and finally, to the subtlest aspects of your life. 

You have to search for yourself, because religions do not fulfill this need.

Direct experience of the truth that each of us originates from God, and ultimately will return to God, makes us secure, happy, and strong.

When ego becomes aware of something that is higher than ego—the individual spirit, or soul—then spirituality dawns.

Spirituality dawns when individuality vanishes.
