Unironically, you’re in control when you don’t even feel the need to control, when there’s a subtle & deep knowing of the perfection of all that is, the unfolding, which results in peace in ways undecipherable to a Mind that’s out of control, hence keeps trying to exert control.All actions that arise from the effortless conscious space are harmonious with all that Is without inflicting violence on oneself or others, and without exclusion.
It is All-inclusive, which it either way is if you aren’t living rent free in the head and chewing the content.

Never belong to the herd even as you sit and move with them, and love them.

Sākṣi (witness) is not a "state".
It is the experiential awareness that all states are just as much a part of the dream regardless of whatever purpose they may or may not serve in phenomenal reality.

oṃ sarve bhavantu sukhinaḥ
sarve santu nirāmayāḥ
sarve bhadrāṇi paśyantu 
mā kaścidduḥ khabhāgbhaveta।
oṃ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ॥

“My worship is of a very strange kind.
In this, Ganga water is not required.
No special utensils are necessary.
Even flowers are redundant.
In this puja all gods have disappeared
And emptiness has emerged with euphoria.”
― Lahiri Mahasaya

"Though the view should be as vast as the sky, keep your conduct as fine as barley flour. Don't confuse one with the other."
— Guru Padmasambhava

"Mindful amongst the inert
Awake amongst the sleepy
The wise advance like the race horse leaving behind the rest."
— Gautama Buddha, Dhammapada

"No sufferings befall the man who is not attached to name and form and who calls nothing his own."

“Do not love half lovers
Do not entertain half friends
Do not indulge in works of the half talented
Do not live half a life
and do not die a half death
Do not accept half a solution
Do not believe half truths
Do not dream half a dream
Do not fantasize about half hopes
Half a life is a life you didn't live,
A word you have not said
A smile you postponed
A love you have not had
A friendship you did not know
You are a whole that exists to live a life
not half a life”
— Kahlil Gibran

“Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.
But you are eternity and you are the mirror.”
― Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

Were it not for
the excess of your talking
and the turmoil in your hearts,
you would see what I see
and hear what I hear!
— ibn al-`Arabi

There are a thousand ways to kneel and kiss the ground; there are a thousand ways to go home again.
― Rumi

You are the honored guest. Do not weep like a beggar for pieces of the world.
― Rumi

The source of all that is, is the Infinite Possibility, the Supreme Reality, which is in you, and which throws its power and light and love on every experience. But, this source is not a cause, and no cause is a source. Because of that, I say everything is uncaused.

Everything is uncaused. You may try to trace how a thing happens, but you cannot find out why a thing is as it is. A thing is as it is, because the universe is as it is.
— Nisargadatta Maharaj

What you are looking for is where you are looking from.
— St. Francis of Assisi

When you demand nothing of the world, nor of God, when you want nothing, seek nothing, expect nothing, then the supreme state will come to you uninvited and unexpected.
— Nisargadatta Maharaj

My religion is to not deceive myself.
— Milarepa

He who avoids misunderstandings,
Amused at the play of his own mind,
Is ever joyful.
― Milarepa

I need nothing. I seek nothing. I desire nothing.
― Milarepa

Gamble everything for love, if you are a true human being. If not, leave this gathering. Half-heartedness doesn’t reach into majesty.
— Rumi

It's your road, and yours alone.
others may walk it with you,
but no one can walk it for you.
― Rumi

Now, this I say to you: Transient are all phenomena; work out your own liberation diligently.

— Last words of the Buddha
