Awakening is the ultimate of religion. Religion is, not really, in believing something outside your being. It is not in believing or following some authoritative figure, the church, temple, organization or any ideological system of belief. Religion is trusting in what is eternal within you.

Awareness is Brahman. The absolute cosmic consciousness. When you are aware, you are connected with Brahman.

— Banani Ray

Blind faith in belief-system, ideologies, doctrine or dogma can never set us free. Only the knowledge of truth can liberate us from the slavery of doctrine, dogmas, blind faiths and religious sects.

— Banani Ray

Bliss is inherent in the Self as fragrance is inherent in a flower. As the flower of the Self-love blossoms, bliss comes spontaneously as the fragrance.

— Banani Ray

Each one of you carries the potential to blossom like flowers. When you blossom, petals of your mind open and the fragrance spread far and near.

Freedom is my religion. Peace is my God. Love is my worship.

Happiness, love and compassion are the aroma of your soul.

— Banani Ray

I love the freedom of my wings. I love the empty space above the ground. Furthermore, I rejoice in my freedom. Freedom is my religion. Peace is my God. Love is my worship.

Life is a hologram. Even the smallest moment contains eternity within it.

— Banani Ray

Life is a pilgrimage. Each moment is to be lived in depth, because each moment contains God, hidden within it.
