Amit Ray

“Courage is the hallmark of spirituality. Courage comes when you love yourself for who you are.”

“Echo of your thoughts are more important than your actions because that has greater impact on the world.”

“Micro meditations should be performed with very little activity. These practices should not be associated with any goal, concept or belief.”

“The Universe is the creation of the mind. Universe exists inside the mind as the flower exists inside the seed.”

“We all are so deeply interconnected; we have no option but to love all.”

“Vipassana meditation is an ongoing creative purification process. Observation of the moment-to-moment experience cleanses the mental layers, one after another.”

“Blaming none, disrespecting nothing is the doorway to Unity Consciousness.”

“No one is to blame because there is no one other than you. Nothing is to disrespect because there is nothing other than you.”

“The easiest way to get touch with this universal power is through silent Prayer. Shut your eyes, shut your mouth, and open your heart. This is the golden rule of prayer. Prayer should be soundless words coming forth from the centre of your heart filled with love.”

“Perfect prayer does not consist in many words, silent remembering and pure intention raises the heart to that supreme Power.”

“Silence is the language of Om. We need silence to be able to reach our Self. Both internal and external silence is very important to feel the presence of that supreme Love.”

“Compassion is the signature of Higher Consciousness. Non-violence is the tool to evolve into the Higher Consciousness.”

“Yoga is not just repetation of few postures - it is more about the exploration and discovery of the subtle energies of life.”

“Truth is neither in the scripture nor in the words of prophets. It is in your heart, feel it, discover it and expand with it.”

“Life is a mystery- mystery of beauty, bliss and divinity. Meditation is the art of unfolding that mystery.”

“Meditation is listening to the song of the inner Soul, seeing the beauty of the inner Self, smelling the fragrance of the inner Spirit, experiencing the touch of the Divine inner energies and tasting the intense sweetness of the inner God.”

“There are two types of empathy: the positive empathy and the negative empathy. When we are fully carried away by the unaware activities of the mirror neurons, we are under the trap of negative empathy. The negative empathy generates attachments. Out of these attachments suffering follows. Negative empathy is a kind of reaction to a situation, whereas positive empathy is internal response of peace love and tranquility.... In positive empathy, your deep tranquility, joy and peace activates the mirror neurons of the others, whereas in negative empathy your mirror neurons are activated by the disturbance of others.”

“Samadhi is the journey from individual to collective consciousness. The steps of Samadhi are the steps towards reaching the collective consciousness. In meditation, the more we radiate love, compassion, peace, harmony and tranquility, the more is our contribution towards the collective consciousness. The more we positively contribute towards the collective consciousness the more is our progress in Samadhi.”

“Yoga talks about cat-pose, dog-pose, camel-pose, monkey-pose, bird-pose etc. Why there are so many animal poses? Animals release their emotions and tensions by movements based on their body sensations. But our amygdala in the brain is carrying the “fight or flight response”; it has forgotten the art of releasing the tensions. As human beings, when we are aware about the sensations, we can release that by aware, slow movements. If you do not give movements to the body parts, energy will be stuck and blood circulation will be disturbed. Gradually, that creates chronic physical and mental health problems.”

“Exercises are like prose, whereas yoga is the poetry of movements.”

“Meditation is a journey to know yourself. Knowing yourself has many layers. Start knowing your bodily discomforts. Know your success, know your failures. Know your fears. Know your irritations. Know your pleasures, joy and happiness. Know your mental wounds. Go deeper and examine every feeling you have.”

“You are the perfect creation of God. Don't allow you to be down. God is experiencing through you.”

“God is whispering in your heart, in the whole existence, just tune your ears.”

“Yoga is not a religion. It is a science, science of well-being, science of youthfulness, science of integrating body, mind and soul.”

“Do not accept whatever comes. Do not accept whatever goes. You have infinite power. Exercise your choice.”

“Self-observation is the first step of inner unfolding.”

“Meditate, Visualize and Create your own reality and the universe will simply reflect back to you.”

“You are the Golden Witnessing Screen. Meditation is the effortless effort to keep that screen clean, clear and perfect. - Sri Amit Ray”

“Suffering is due to our disconnection with the inner soul. Meditation is establishing that connection.”

“The singing Sun the signing moon the singing stars and the singing galaxies are the direct expression of the divine word AUM.”

“Science of happiness lies in our understanding. The secrets of happiness lie in our capacity to expand our heart.”

“You are a cosmic flower. Om chanting is the process of opening the psychic petals of that flower.”

“AUM or Om is not related to any religion because Om was practiced before the birth of all the religions of the world.”

“Meditation is a way for nourishing and blossoming the divinity within you.”

“Searching outside of you is Samsara (the world). Searching within you leads to Nirvana.”
