Sometimes… noticing Presence doesn’t work. Trying to “figure it out” doesn’t work either. So what do we do? Video: click.everyaction.com/k/128735387/61… In this powerful teaching, Neelam points to something essential that is often missed: When the nervous system is activated, we cannot simply think our way out… and we cannot access true Presence. Instead, we must pause, backtrack, and allow the nervous system to come to rest. Only then can the “story” drop… and what is truly here can be recognized. This simple shift can change everything. 🔥 Join Neelam Live - April 3-Week Program ✨ Freedom is your final destination ✨ Challenges are stepping-stones to Awakening Go deeper into this work with Neelam in a live, experiential setting: Sundays: April 12, 19, 26 9AM - 12noon Pacific Time Register Now: click.everyaction.com/k/128735388/61…

"Trust comes from an inner place of knowing that everything that happens is OK just the way it is." - Neelam

Hidden tendencies arise to leave when you are Quiet, so it is a good sign when vasanas arise. Do not be dismayed because they are Self. Let vasanas arise, they do not exist. The world is a playground for the wise and a graveyard for the foolish. Let the vasanas play, they are transient imaginations and even the "I" to which they occur is imagination itself. Abide as Substratum and allow circumstances to come and go. Stay Quiet with no intention, no notion, not even inquire for Freedom, and don't utter the word "I." Then the gods and demons of the vasanas will vanish. Your true nature does not come and go. Play with what comes and goes. When they arise they will disappear. Allow them to go away. Let things happen through mind-ego and just stay Quiet as they happen, with the firm conviction: I Am I Am. Papaji

“Reality is simply the loss of ego. Destroy the ego by seeking its identity.” — Ramana Maharshi.

"Awakening is a shift from identifying yourself as this body to knowing yourself as Presence. Freedom means a true independence from the past, where our ability to Be Here and the action in the moment are not guided by our attachment to the arising past. To truly be Free we need to embody our recognition of Presence, and that requires growing of the capacity of our nervous system to Be Here. It is in the meeting of what arises that we find true and lasting freedom." - Neelam

“That which rises as ‘I’ in this body is the mind. If one inquires as to where in the body the thought 'I’ rises first, one would discover that it rises in the heart.” - Ramana Maharshi

“Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside.” — Ramana Maharshi.

“The most holy association is to Be as you are. This is Freedom. This is beyond imagination, very new and very fresh. So just keep Quiet. Do not think. It is you. It is you. Don't stir a thought, and if a thought comes, let it, don't waver, don't doubt your majesty. It is so simple. The one who has It will know that they have done it. When you are quiet it is Beauty, Joy and Stillness. It is effortless. Effort is to disturb your mind, effort is playing with corpses in the graveyard. Just contemplate that which is always silence. Go to the Source. Do not believe anything, simply stay quiet and return home and do not rest until you are there. Peace is only available when there is no “I” and you need an “I” to do practice. The secret to Bliss is to stop the search, stop thinking, stop not-thinking, and keep Quiet. The best practice is to Know “Who am I.” You are Brahman, know this. If you want to do anything, just Always adore Self.” ― H.W.L. Poonja

“We cling to something for safety, and we find we are holding onto the body, the mind, the senses for safety. We don't realize that by getting rid of these things we have true peace. When we go from waking state to sleep, we lose everything that we held in the waking state. Relationships and possessions are lost to us in sleep. We have to let them go. We have no fear as we drop into sleep. We enjoy it, we welcome it. But we are afraid of this waking drop into emptiness because we haven't had the experience.” ― H.W.L. Poonja

“We have been comfortable in limitation, so we don't touch limitlessness. When someone imposes limitedness on us, we readily agree. Anything you desire to achieve is limitation. And you don't have to desire limitlessness, because that you already are. You make frontiers. The idea, 'I need freedom', constructs a wall between you and freedom. Remove the concept that there is a wall between you and freedom and what happens? This wall is imagination. You don't have to remove the rubbish of the wall. What happens if you remove this wall, which does not even exist?” ― H.W.L. Poonja

“As the lotus does not touch the water so do not let the world enter your heart.. Being busy in the world is no trouble, unless you are troubled being busy, then the only trouble is the trouble.. Ocean does not complain about the dance of ten million waves! so don't be concerned with the rise and fall of thoughts.. Keeping an old troublesome habit is like keeping poisonous snakes in your arms. Now is the time to hold this snake and throw it out.. Bad moods are either past or imaginary future, in the Present there are no moods at all.. Moods belong to the circumstance, to the past; face the Sun and there will be no shadow of the moods.. The world is like a tail of dog, it's nature is to curl. The best you can do is stay Quiet and not let anything bother you.. Visitors will come and go, don't interfere with these waves.. Just be silent..” ― H.W.L. Poonja

“Understanding and not understanding are all in the scheme of ignorance, just a realm of the mind. This is not learning. This is your birthright. You cannot study to be what you are. You do not need to understand in order to breathe.” ― H.W.L. Poonja

Question: How can one be free when one is attached to people, objects or ideas? Papaji: One is already free. One need not make any effort. Simply keep quiet. Mind is past, all is past. There is no one who does not speak of anything that he has not read from a book or heard from any teacher. When you reject everything that belongs to the past, you will enter a new, unspeakable dimension. In the moment between past and future, just look at who you are. No effort, no thought. Just keep quiet. In this quietness you will experience for the the first time a peace, love, beauty that you have never felt. - Papaji
