Being

Being same as consciousness bliss there is no longer any differentiation such as knower and known
And self shines forth as itself
#Adi Shankaracharya

Who m i ?

Sri Ramana Maharshi: ~~~ Who Am I? (Nan Yar?), 23.

Q.:
Is it any use reading books for those who long for release?

M.:
All the texts say that in order to gain release
one should render the mind quiescent;
therefore their conclusive teaching is that the mind
should be rendered quiescent;
once this has been understood there is no need for endless reading.

In order to quieten the mind one has only
to inquire within oneself what one’s Self is;
how could this search be done in books?

One should know one’s Self with one’s own eye of wisdom.

The Self is within the five sheaths;
but books are outside them.

Since the Self has to be inquired into
by discarding the five sheaths,
it is futile to search for it in books.

There will come a time when
one will have to forget all
that one has learned.

Be fully alive

BE FULLY ALIVE

Today.

There is no love without loss.
No heart without heart break.
No joy without tears.

The trick is
not to annihilate
the 'negative'
from your life.

But to hold it ALL
in your vast and ancient heart.

Be the sky!
Hold the thunder, the snow,
the sad moon,
the glorious Sun.
Hold it all.

And you are free!
To love.
To risk.
To fail.
To be fully alive.

Today.

- Jeff Foster

I am

YOU must become the proof that God exists, not the books. You ARE the living book. And this book is the greatest book. All the pages are empty.Only the title is, I AM.

Adiyogi

The Adiyogi brought this possibility that a human being need not be contained in the defined limitations of our species. There is a way to be contained in physicality but not to belong to it. There is a way to inhabit the body but never become the body. There is a way to use your mind in the highest possible way but still never know the miseries of the mind. Whatever dimension of existence you are in right now, you can go beyond that – there is another way to live. He said, “You can evolve beyond your present limitations if you do the necessary work upon yourself.” That is the significance of the Adiyogi.
