"Awareness is not an idea about awareness,
as it is not thought at all.
Awareness allows you to feel life as it's happening,
as it is in perception that consciousness
and all spiritual qualities are manifest."

"We can't control what thoughts and emotions arise within us, nor can we control the universal truth that everything changes. But we can learn to step back and rest in the awareness of what's happening. That awareness can be our refuge."

"To achieve purity of mind,
one should cultivate constant awareness
by being mindful all the time.
One should remain always aware of one's thoughts."
~Swami Rama

"You are awareness. Awareness is another name for you. Since you are awareness there is no need to attain or cultivate it. All that you have to do is to give up being aware of other things, that is of the not-Self. If one gives up being aware of them then pure awareness alone remains, and that is the Self."
~Ramana Maharshi

"Meditation, witnessing, silently sitting and looking at the mind, will be of much help. Not forcing, simply sitting and looking. Not doing much, just watching as one watches birds flying in the sky. Just Lying down on the ground and watching, nothing to do, indifferent. Not your concern really, where they are going; they are going on their own."
~Osho
