If you lose yourself in any action, that action will be most successful, in the sense that it produces the best results. How to attain this self-forgetfulness? Direct the mind to its source, the Absolute, leaving a simple samskara that certain actions are to be performed. When the actions are thus left to themselves with the
sense organs, and the lower reason is not available to guide them, some principle from within – evidently the higher reason – automatically takes the full responsibility of guiding the actions.
Thus under the supreme guidance of the all knowing vidya-vritti, the actions happen to be fulfilled to a wonderful degree of perfection. But if ever the ego comes in, in any form anywhere in the course of the action, things go wrong lamentably.
The apparent life of every Sage, if closely observed, will provide numerous instances of the mysterious fulfilment of phenomenal activities in all perfection, without an effort on his own part and without his claiming the least credit for it.
(Sri Atmananda Krishna Menon/Notes on spiritual discourse- 481) |

It is but one among many more quotes that really stand out for me as well. Seeing some of one's own observations mirrored by Sri Atmananda in such direct and concise statements helps bring his insights to life in realization that the principles being taught have a very real foundation.
thanks for sharing it here maheswari. |

After visualizing the Truth beyond all doubt, throw yourself heart and soul into any
activity and lose yourself in it. It is a sadhana in itself which takes you right to the
Reality each time. Thus, when you are engrossed in work, you have at the same time
renounced the work.(Sri Atmananda Krishna Menon/Notes on spiritual discourse- 319)

this is what is currently prevailing over here ..... |
