samaya ashram

Dissolve...

"Walk, with awareness. Eat, with awareness. Breathe, with awareness."

Discover harmony

"Happiness is a shadow of harmony; it follows harmony. There is no other way to be happy."

Find the path

"The feminine is more powerful than the masculine, the soft is more powerful than the hard, the water is more powerful than the rock."

Meditation

"The modern mind has lost all capacity to wonder, to look into the mysterious, into the miraculous - because it thinks it knows."

Let go...

"All that is great cannot be possessed - and that is one of the most foolish things man goes on doing. We want to possess.."

Awareness...

"Awareness is the greatest alchemy there is. Just go on becoming more and more aware, and you will find great fulfillment."
