The siddhas say that the one who leaves his body behind as a corpse cannot attain mukti. They are reborn. Only those whose bodies dissolve in space, in light or away from sight, attain liberation. From "Talks" by Ramana Maharshi ~~~ . The jiva perceives a body mind where the jnani perceive none.
The revelation of the silent mind bypasses the mind. The mind does not produce anything, does not produce the silent mind. since the mind is produced (by the silent mind) and not the other way around. What is perceived does not perceive what perceives it. What you are conscious of, is not conscious…
As you continue to contemplate that you are the open space of awareness, unmoved and undisturbed by the images that appear on the screen, the belief structures that define you as a limited mortal body mind weaken and eventually dissolve. revealing causeless peace, freedom and happiness. the…
The world is a conceptual structure
The world is a conceptual structure. What appears refers to its source. . that does not appear. Once you take a closer step towards what appears, it disappears. But due to your stubbornness and insistence, it reappears, moment by moment, instant by instant. Worldly appearance and disappearance will…
I am always experiencing myself and never stop experiencing myself. I am myself as myself. I never cease being myself as I AM myself. I look at you and experience myself. It is always so I have never been otherwise. Myself. Not a knowable. Not a known form object. Not a mortal body mind.…
As we continue to contemplate our unity and wholeness, the old patterns of ignorance, the negative emotions stored in the body mind may arise in full force. As long as you do not personalize them further, they arise only to dissolve and release out of the body mind structure. The tank is being…
The dream you dream. ~~~ ~~~ You imagine yourself and thus you separate yourself out of the wholeness. As you believe your imagination. the imagined separation and the external world body mind appear to you. Dream characters and dream events follow, until you decide to wake up and return to the…
When you are going with the flow
When you are going with the flow, there is no one resisting and there is no one going with the flow. There is just flow and no one and nothing flowing. Sounds loco doesn't it? It is only loco from the perspective of the mind that perceives external and internal objects, minds and worlds. From the…
All you experience is yourself
All you experience is yourself. Nothing separate. Nothing outside or inside. One seamless reality. There is no mind to know it. It is self knowing. But even that is mind fodder. You go nowhere. You do not come from anywhere. The entire limited you is a dream illusion as separation is imagination.…
As long as the me impression remains, the mind carries baggage and is in the velcro business holding on to every particle of dust. The mind of a sage is like the wide open sky, like a gurgling stream. When clouds appear, there is nothing that holds on to them and nothing that re-members them.
A glimpse in the Self is a non event since the mind is not privy to it. Whatever the mind comments about the glimpse in the Self is an illusory dream comment whose sole purpose is to maintain the impression of selfhood. It is the thief claiming he owns the house.
There is no lasting happiness in the world body mind
No matter what thought says, there is no lasting happiness in the world body mind. Happiness is the revelation of the source that dissolves all impressions of separation and selfhood. The revelation of the source is complete fulfillment. You cannot have your beliefs in selfhood as well as the…
Resignation is not realization
Resignation is not realization. ~~~ Without the perfume of freedom, beauty, love and happiness life is either pursuit and resistance or resignation. The Self is glorious and magnificent and is not the roller coaster ride of the mind. Settling for less than the full revelation, settling for less…
The seeming movements of the mind return to the source from which they arise, the stillness, pristine presence. that is unmoving and unmovable. Behind the image impressions, the peace of your true nature awaits you, awaits your recognition. As long as you remain occupied and preoccupied with the…
About consciousness and awareness
A note about the terms consciousness and awareness: ~~~ It should be noted that while Nisargadatta uses the term consciousness and awareness to make a distinction between mind (he uses the term consciousness)and the absolute (he uses the term awareness), in certain languages (such a French), only…
You are not limited by the forms you perceive
If you experience a limited form, this does not mean that whatever experiences this limited form is itself limited. What is perceived, albeit it is limited, does not establish that what knows it, is limited. Only a direct revelation of consciousness, a direct knowingness of consciousness reveals…
When the seeking mind is focused on worldly objects, you receive limited impermanent worldly objects that do not fulfill you. You can turn the mind towards the divine and surrender it to the infinite not knowingness. A complete abandon to presence that is not defeatist nor resigned, dissolves the…
Whatever perceives a thought is not a thought.
Whatever perceives a thought is not a thought. Whatever perceives an image, an impression, a perception is not an image, not a perception, not an impression. This supreme knowing is not subject to the known. It is the highest order that knows all subordinate orders. The ultimate is what knows and…
All states appear and disappear out of and in the openness of Awareness. Awareness refers to the knowingness and not to any particular known. All mind events, all states are known. Feelings, thoughts, sensations, experiences are known. Awareness/consciousness is the 'ultimate' non-dual knower.…
Mind events are dreams inside the me-dream. The initial dream is the dream character, the me-impression that requires your collaboration with thought. Once you withdraw your collaboration from the separate mind impression, appearance and disappearance, disappears. Innocence is revealed in the…
In my book, the term spirituality refers to perceiving the unperceived hand of god. This requires grace to gift you a revelation from and of beyond the form, revealing its universal and infinite nature. From the perspective of the conditioned mind, the impression of materialism veils this…
Beware of half cooked teachings
Beware of half cooked teachings. They impress imagined limitations upon the limitless. The notion that consciousness requires a body mind to know itself is the root of ignorance. Giving any sort of limitation to the divine, arises from ignorance and not from wisdom. The body mind is known. It is…
The Yes that is not from the mind
There is a way of saying yes that is not concerned about where this yes takes you. This yes is not from the mind, Rather it is a heart yes. A yes that comes from our shared love for truth, for the divine that shines through all of us, from the heart. The mind is confusing with its convoluted…
Time is duration. Duration, an imagined span between two thought events. Now does not take place between two thought events. Now has no duration and therefore is not in time, not in thought. So one could say that there is no Now since what the mind refer to as Now has no real duration. It is this…
The mind does not want to know
The mind asks questions. All sorts of questions. Sometimes the most ridiculous question. For the mind, it does not matter if the question is ridiculous, nonsensical or not. As long as there is a separate me, the personal mind impression remains on board and maintains itself. In fact, the separate…
