- All of your karmas, your samskaras, your sins of omission, commission, the sinful acts that you are responsible for, none of these things can touch you, if you center yourself in the here and now. ― Robert Adams
- You subsequently have to ask yourself, “What am I doing with my life? In what direction am I going?” Look at your life, analyze it. From waking up until you go back to bed. What are you doing with the hours that you’re awake? Do you waste your time? Robert Adams, Transcript 11
- When you know that you have a short time in this existence, you do not stop here to play games of life, you try to find yourself and become free as fast as you can. ― Robert Adams
- You notice that things stop bothering you. You’re no longer concerned, you understand the nature of the world, that it’s maya, it’s transitory. Nothing is ever the same in the world. So the world ceases to excite you. Robert Adams, Transcript 11
- If you can observe the situation without getting excited, then you’ve passed that test and you will not have to repeat it. ― Robert Adams
- “All is well, and everything is unfolding as it should. There are no mistakes. None have ever been made, none are being made, and none will ever be made.” ― Robert Adams
- You have only so many years to live in this world, and then you’ll just vanish if you don’t know who you are. You will repeat the lessons over and over again and you’ll have many opportunities to understand and discover your true nature. Robert Adams, Transcript 11
- Turn within. See the truth. Become the truth. Do not look to others for advice, what to do, how to live. Be a lamp unto yourself as the Buddha said. All the answers are within you. ― Robert Adams
- Wherever you go, you’ll feel the chaos and the confusion. Changing environments will not help you. Changing family members will not help you. Only by removing the ‘I’ will you become totally free. ― Robert Adams
