Effort

Effortless and choiceless awareness is our real nature. But one cannot reach it without effort, the effort of deliberate meditation.  Ramana Maharshi

I tell you no one can experience this birth (of God in the soul) without a mighty effort.  Meister Eckhart

Even wanting to attain Buddhahood right away is something artificial. When you realize that you're producing all aspirations yourself and, without getting involved with particular things, remain just as you innately are, your own intrinsic nature will be revealed.  Bankei

How shall I grasp it? Do not grasp it. That which remains when there is no more grasping is the Self.  Panchadasi

Illumination means the realization that Illumination is not something to be attainedHui-hai

We do not turn our attention to finding the obvious Seer but run about analysing the seen. We think there is something hiding Reality which must be destroyed before that Reality is gained. It is ridiculous, a great game of pretending.  Ramana Maharshi
