"Always remember deep in your heart that all is well and everything is unfolding as it should.  There are no mistakes anywhere, at any time.  What appears to be wrong is simply your own false imagination.  That's all.  You are the Self, that perfect immutable Self.  Nothing else exists.  Nothing else ever existed.  Nothing else will ever exist.  There is only one Self and you are That.  Rejoice!"  ~Robert Adams  (Silence of the Heart Vol 1)

Robert Adams was an American Self-realized master and direct disciple of Ramana Maharshi.  Robert had a powerful awakening experience at 14 years old while taking a math test in the Bronx, NYC that transformed his life.  He had a vast experience of illumination, an awakening to realizing that he IS the God-Self.  Later he was drawn to India's holy mountain of Arunachala, where he met Ramana in person and remained for the last 3 years of Ramana's life. 

Through Robert's life, he continuously received the deepest and most radical understanding of our existence.  He was a living embodiment of an awakened being.  His message is radical, provocative and can be easily misunderstood if you are new to your spiritual path and haven't experienced much meditation. 

Below are a few of the excerpts from dialogs he had with his students who compiled it in a book called, Silence of The Heart I highly recommend reading this book if you want to have a true glimpse of what a spiritual awakening is all about.  Enjoy!

The 4 Principles

2. You are not born.  This is not "your life".  You do not disappear and will never ever die.

3. Everything in its essence has no ego. All is egoless Source.

4. You have a deep understanding of what Self-Realization is by knowing what it is not.
