In the contemplation of truth, you come to the realization that there is no external reality outside of the reality of consciousness. This revelation will lead you to the understanding that awareness and consciousness are thus one and the same. I am this aware space, this aware presence. Sat-chit…
Speaking about the unspeakable Is different from speaking the unspeakable Speaking the unspeakable Is spoken by the unspeakable Reality of Being/Awareness The limited cannot know the limitless The mind cannot speak the infinite eternal Only the infinite Self Can truly express the Self Whatever…

We are inquiring into Truth Not into mind impressions Mind impressions are like clouds Dream impressions One after another First we search outwardly As the mind points towards the senses Towards what is perceived Towards thoughts and feelings Towards the world body mind But what is perceived Does…
Sri Ramana Maharshi Teachings. श्री रमण महर्षि के उपदेश Q: In the early stages would it not be a help to a man to seek solitude and give up his outer duties in life? Sri Ramana Maharshi : Renunciation is always in the mind, not in going to forests or solitary places or giving up one's duties.…
Disillusion with being a good person
DISILLUSION WITH BEING A GOOD PERSON Friend: After many years of service and devotion, trying to be a good person, I have come to realize that this does not work and that it is no the highest path. Can you say more about that? Reply: Being a good person is an image that arises to you. This image is…
The search for truth, the inquiry into the truth and reality of consciousness is not about improving anything. It is not about improving the imaginary life of the imaginary character. It is about awakening from the dream illusion of separation. Awakening from the unhappy dream of an interior self…
If you are unhappy and content with your unhappiness, then the teachings, direct or indirect are irrelevant to you. But if you are unhappy and seeking to understand the process underlying your unhappiness, then the teachings are very helpful and provide you with the understanding that may release…
LISTENING WITH YOUR ENTIRETY Reality, truth cannot be expressed in words. It can only be known experientially, directly, as your living experience. It is from this knowingness, that is not in time and space, that the inexpressible can be pointed to and expressed in the silence between the words.…

Beware of the imagined future It is thought Concern and hope Imagined me in time and space Thought/image But not really truth. Thought reverberating throughout the innocence of being That is complete freedom From the impression of past and future. Why diminish this wonder? This formless wonder of…
The answer is within the question
Friend: Are we not all different? Each one of us is unique and not any of us are the same. You speak of truth as one and my experience is so different. I don't experience this one but all different things. ~~ Indeed, the images on the screen are different, but the screen is one. Turn your attention…
BOUNDARIES Question: How do you see boundaries? Reply: When you believe thought that says you are a body mind and when feelings of limitations and unhappiness arise, you are experiencing boundaries, while in fact, there are none. ~~~ Question: Can you say that differently? Reply: You experience…
Our true nature is love, inherent love, innocence, wonder. Oneness. The stream of sorrow and ignorance is an unhappy add on. The personal identification is an unhappy add-on. What is added-on via the me-identification is the unhappy sense of isolation that inhabits our chest, our belly, our throat,…
Truth lovers are courageous . since they understand that the real and eternal is revealed with the ending, with the death of the false. The ones who have been there before you are the ones to be trusted and relied upon. They will guide you from the false you to the real you.
Truth is eternal. It is love for truth that is the highest teaching and it is love for truth that makes the teaching and the teacher possible. All else is empty words and fleeting images. Contemplate your question and keep your question alive via your interest and contemplation and it will lead you…
The contemplation and exploration of truth
The contemplation and exploration of truth is fueled by your true love. The contemplation and exploration of the world body mind is fueled by your interest, curiosity and fascination with the mind. Neither contemplation implies separation. Separation is forgetting that I, universal consciousness,…
Contemplate the reality of your experience
Conversation with a friend. ~~~ ~~~ As you continue to contemplate the reality and truth of your experience, the personality patterns will become less and less important and less and less predominant. The path of love and beauty will continue to unfold and will continue to attract you until you can…
If your path takes you away from the world that is okay. If your path is in the world and of the world that is okay as well. What matters is that you continue the contemplation no matter what's happening in your space. No matter how things are unfolding for you. Your love for truth and your…
A few words about enlightenment. ~~~. Enlightenment, as a glimpse in the Self is not an experience since the mind is not present. The mind comes after the fact to take the glory that it has not earned. And yet, the mind gets altered by this non-event as the Humpty Dumpty egg gets cracked, allowing…
There is nothing to realize – is a pointer that is incomplete
There is nothing to realize - is a pointer that is incomplete. When such a pointer is taken out of a wider teaching context, it may be misleading. The realization of the Self is not nothing. It is the revelation of the truth that IS. The nothing state is empty and void of the perfume of the Self.…
Real love cannot flow from a limited me-person. Personal hidden agendas get in the way. Love flows from love and not from a person. You cannot love in a way that the 'person you love feels free' if you do not feel free yourself. It is the realization of your inherent freedom that dissolves all…
About struggle and struggling. ~~~ What is it to struggle? Who/what is it that struggles? What is the reality of struggle? Struggle refers to someone wanting something for their person, for their personal convenience, according to their personal conditions. Wanting things to be different. For whom?…
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…
Your love for truth will lead you to the openness whereby everything is recognized in its complete acceptance, void of personal agendas. You find yourself in the love, as the love . unconditional . a wakeful intelligence guiding everything. The old tendencies to maintain a separate me in the space…
Yes, it is thought that says: I am a man. I am Magdi. I am fat, short, tall, old, aging, etc. I choose to believe thought and in doing so, I have accepted thought as my guide and master. In choosing thought as my guide, I accept thought's messages. I accept mind as my lord and doing so, I turn your…
