Nothing

Nothing belongs to you! It is all like the breeze.
Leave your mind as free as the breeze
by not clinging to anything.

This is the secret to happiness:
Enjoy the garden,
but do not cling to anything!

~ Papaji

Art by Jane Adams

Do not cling or resist anything.

Ananda

Devotee: “If it is said that Ananda is the Self itself, then who is it that experiences it?”

Bhagavan: “That is the point. So long as there is one who experiences, it shall have to be stated that Ananda is the Self itself. When there is no one to experience, where is the question of a form for Ananda? It is only that which ‘IS’ remains. That IS is ‘Ananda’ That is the Self. So long as the feeling that the Self is different from oneself there will be one who enquires and experiences, but when one realises the Self there will be no one to experience. Who is there to ask? What is there to say? In common parlance, however, we shall have to say that Bliss is the Self or is our Real Nature (Swarupa)”.

(From  'Letters from Sri Ramanasramam', Letter 221)

Self

After realising there is nothing to gain or loose. self is eternal ... shining like sun for every moon.

Being is knowing

You ARE the Light Itself, the Light of this world. You're not being sent out on a  mission. You are yourSelf, the mission accomplished or accomplishing Itself by staying faithful to your seeing. Stay faithful to your seeing. Stay loyal to your seeing. Digest your seeing. Assimilate it. Over and over and over again confirm yourSelf. Affirm yourSelf in it. That's all. This is what the Masters did. They sat with it. They were so happy, so happy !"How could such auspiciousness happen to me?" They were just bathing in It...They say you become attractive to God...In just a moment, things have changed from darkness to light. Or, like the saying says, "from death to immortality." Just  a twist of Consciousness has freed you from many many years of delusion and confusion and suffering. This is why I say," Do you realize what you are realizing?" BE with IT, because  even if you never spoke a single word to someone, your Presence Itself is radiating positive influence on everything around you, not just human beings, the plants, everything, because your vibration is in harmony with the Universal Consciousness. Do you know what this means? Perhaps this is the greatest gift you can give to your own people, your own country, just by BEING who you ARE. Leave it to Life. It will place you where you need to be. Wherever you go, a garden will grow.

Reality

Kabir said "Once I experienced reality for fifteen seconds and the rest of my life was spent in devotion to that." He wasn't saying "I tried to get another experience" or "I worked to get another experience", "the rest of my life was spent in devotion to that." What a lucky life to have!

Lovers of God

Those who feel bored in life
are ever seeking entertainment for their minds.
The lovers of God are ever content and serenely happy,
for they are fed through the heart
and not through the mind.

~Sri Mooji
