• अवधूत •
°°°°°°°°
बाबा मलूकदास एक अवधूत हैं ।
अवधूत का अर्थ है - संन्यास की परम अवस्था जहां न कोई नियम शेष रह जाते हैं - न कोई मर्यादा ; जहां कुछ शुभ है , और न कुछ अशुभ ; जहां व्यक्ति जीता सहज समाधि से ;
जहां जो हो , वही ठीक है ; जहां स्वीकार संपूर्ण है ;
जहां कोई निषेध नहीं रहा ; क्या करना , क्या न करना -
ऐसी धारणाएं , व्यवस्थाएं , नहीं रहीं ; जहां व्यक्ति फिर से
छोटे बच्चे की भांति हो जाता है ।
अवधूत की दशा को परम-दशा कहा है ; वह पुनर्जन्म है ;
वह नया जन्म है ।
एक जन्म मिलता है मां से, फिर उस जन्म के साथ
आई हुई निर्दोंषता कोमलता , पवित्रता - सब खो जाती है -
समाज की भीड़ में , ऊहापोह में , संसार के जंजाल में । बेईमानी सीखनी पड़ती है , धोखा-घड़ी सीखनी पड़ती है , अविश्वास सीखना पड़ता है ।
तो जिस श्रद्धा को लेकर मनुष्य पैदा होता है , वह धूमिल हो जाती है । फिर उस धूमिल दर्पण में परमात्मा की छबि नहीं बनती । और हजार-हजार विचारों की तरंगें--छबि बिखर-बिखर जाती है । जैसे कभी तरंगें उठी झील में चांद
का प्रतिबिंब बनता है ; तो बन नहीं पाता ; लहरों में टूट जाता
है ; बिखर जाता है । पूरी झील पर चांदी फैल जाती है ।
लेकिन चांद कहां है , कैसा है - यह पता लगाना मुश्किल हो जाता है ।
झील चाहिए शांत , झील चाहिए निर्मल , तो चांद का मुखड़ा दिखाई पड़ता है । ऐसा ही जब चित्त की झील निर्मल होती है , तो परमात्मा का रूप दिखाई पड़ता है ।
परमात्मा को जानने के लिए शास्त्र की जानकारी नहीं ।
शब्द से मुक्ति चाहिए । और परमात्मा को जानने के लिए
बहुत गणित और तर्क नहीं - निर्दोष मन चाहिए ;
फिर से एक जन्म चाहिए ।
अवधूत का अर्थ है : जो फिर से जन्मा और जिसने फिर से बालक-जैसी सरलता को उपलब्ध कर लिया ।
सारा योग , सारी भक्ति , सारे ध्यान इतना ही करते हैं कि
जो गंदगी और जो कचरा समाज तुम पर जमा देते हैं ,
उसे हटा देते हैं । उनका प्रयोग नकारात्मक है ।
योग या भक्ति तुम्हें कुछ देते नहीं , समाज ने जो दे दिया है, उसे छीन लेते हैं । तुम फिर वैसे के वैसे हो जाते हो ,
जैसा तुम्हें होना था ।
तो निश्चित ही अवधूत की परमदशा में न तो कुछ पुण्य बचता है , न कोई पाप बचा है । अवधूत की परमदशा में तो फिर से बालपन लौटा । और यह बालपन गहरा है - पहले बालपन से ज्यादा गहरा है । क्योंकि पहला बालपन अगर बहुत गहरा होता , तो नष्ट न हो सकता था । नष्ट हो गया । संसार के झंझावात न झेल सका । कच्चा था ; अप्रौढ़ था । सरल तो था ,
लेकिन बुनियाद बहुत मजबूत न थी उस सरलता की ।
जरा से हवा के झोंके आये और झील कंप गई ।
जरा मुसीबतें आई और चित्त उद्विग्न हो गया । वृक्ष तो था , लेकिन जड़ें नहीं थी बहुत गहरी , तो जरा-जरा से हवा के झोंके उसे उखाड़ गये ।
दूसरा जो बचपन है , वह ज्यादा गहरा होगा , क्योंकि स्वयं उपलब्ध किया हुआ होगा ; जागरूक होगा । दूसरा जो बचपन है , उसी को हमने इस देश में द्विज कहा है - दूसरा जन्म ।
दुनिया में दो तरह के लोग हैं ...। और यह बंटवारा बहुत महत्वपूर्ण है । एक तो वे , जो एक ही बार जन्मते हैं ; उनको ही पारिभाषिक अर्थों में शूद्र कहा जाता है - जो एक ही बार जन्में हैं ; जिन्होंने पहले बचपन को ही सब मान लिया और समाप्त हो गये और जिन्होंने दुबारा जन्म लेने की कोई चेष्टा
न की ।
जो दुबारा जन्म लेता है - द्विज - टवाइस - वही ब्राह्मण है ;
वही ब्रह्म को पाने का हकदार है ।
तो एक हैं : एक ही बार जन्मे - वंस बार्न ; और दूसरे हैं :
दुबारा जन्मे - द्विज - टवाइस बार्न ।
अवधूत दुबारा जन्मा है । तो उसके शरीर की उम्र हो भी सकती है काफी हो - बूढ़ा हो , लेकिन उसके चित्त में कोई उम्र नहीं है , कोई समय नहीं है । उसका चित्त समय से मुक्त है । उसका चित्त छोटे बच्चे की भांति है ।
जीसस एक बाजार में खड़े हैं और किसी ने पूछा ...।
जिसने पूछा , वह धर्मगुरु है ; कि तुम्हारे प्रभु के राज्य में कौन प्रवेश करेंगे ? कौन न होगे हकदार , कौन होंगे मालिक ?
स्वभावतः उस रब्बी ने सोचा होगा ; जीसस कहेंगे : तुम । क्योंकि वह धर्मगुरु था ; धर्म का ज्ञाता था ; प्रतिष्ठित था । लेकिन जीसस ने उस की तरफ इशारा नहीं किया ।
पास में एक दूसरा आदमी खड़ा था , जिसकी संत की तरह प्रसिद्धि थी कि वह बड़ा पवित्रात्मा है , पुण्यात्मा है ।
उस ने भी गौर से जीसस की तरफ देखा की शायद वे मेरी तरफ इशारा करेंगे , लेकिन नहीं ; जीसस ने उस की तरफ से भी नजर हटा ली । कोई धनी खड़ा था ; कोई प्रतिष्ठित था ; भीड़ में सभी लोग थे , लेकिन जीसस की नजर जा कर रुकी एक छोटे से बच्चे पर । उन्होंने उसे कंधे पर उठा लिया और कहा , जो इस बच्चे की भांति होगे , केवल वे ही ...।
अवधूत का अर्थ है : जो छोटे बच्चे की भांति है ।
तो अवधूत का जो संबंध है परमात्मा से , वह ठीक वैसा ही होगा , जैसा छोटे बच्चे का मां से होता है । परमात्मा उस के लिए कोई बहुत बड़ी और बहुत दूर की बात नहीं है ।
परमात्मा के साथ उसका नाता शिष्टाचार का नहीं है -
प्रेमाचार का है । और प्रेम कोई सीमा मानता ?
कि कोई मर्यादा मानता ?
छोटा बच्चा मां से लड़ता भी है ; छोटा बच्चा मां से उलझता
भी है ; मां से रूठता भी है ; नाराज भी होता है ; उछल-कूद
भी मचाता है ; मां को मजबूर भी करता है । अगर उसे बाहर जाना है , तो बाहर जाना है । फिर वह सब नियम इत्यादि
तोड़ कर मां को परेशान करता है ।
छोटे बच्चे का जो संबंध मां से है , वही अवधूत का संबंध अस्तित्व से है । अस्तित्व यानी परमात्मा ।
इन सूत्रों को तभी समझ पाओगे , जब इस संबंध को खयाल
में ले लो । नहीं तो ये सूत्र थोड़े अजीब मालूम पड़ेंगे ।
थोड़े अशिष्ट भी मालूम पड़ सकते हैं । शिष्टाचार की यहां
कोई बात नहीं है।
शिष्टाचार - खयाल रखना - औपचारिक है ।
जिससे तुम्हारा शिष्टाचार का संबंध है , उनसे तुम्हारा कोई संबंध नहीं है । शिष्टाचार संबंध थोड़े ही है ।
शिष्टाचार तो , संबंध नहीं है - इस बात को छिपाने का
उपाय है ।
तो जब तक दो मित्रों के बीच शिष्टाचार चलता है ,
तुम जानना कि मित्रता अभी बनी नहीं । जब दो मित्रों के बीच शिष्टाचार खो जाता है , जब दो मित्र एक दूसरे को प्रेम में गाली
भी देने लगते हैं , तभी जानना कि मित्रता अब गहरी हुई ।
अब गाली भी मित्रता को उखाड़ न सकेगी ।
जब मित्र शिष्टाचार के सारे नियम तोड़ देते हैं , तो ही जानना कि हार्दिक रूप से करीब आये ।
अगर तुम भगवान के साथ शिष्टाचार का जीवन जी रहे हो ,
तो तुमने भगवान को जाना नहीं , पहचाना नहीं ।
उसके साथ तो नाता प्रेम का ही हो सकता है -
शिष्टता का नहीं ; सभ्यता का नहीं । उसके साथ तो नाता हार्दिक हो सकता है ।
ये सूत्र हृदय के सूत्र हैं ।
जैसे एक छोटा बच्चा अपनी मां से झगड़ रहा हो ,
ऐसे मलूकदास परमात्मा से झगड़ रहे हैं ।

THE MUKTA AND THE SIDDHIS, part 1
D. Hitherto I had a great fear of mukti. Till now I regarded it as horrible. Now I see that it is a very agreeable state. Now as regards the powers called Siddhis, are they to be achieved and are they opposed to mukti ?
M. The highest Siddhi is realization of the Self, atma-sakshathkara; for once you realize the truth you cease to be drawn to the path of ignorance.
D. Then what are the siddhis?
M. There are two kinds of siddhis: one kind may well, be a stumbling block to realization. It is said that by mantra, by some drug possessing occult powers, by severe austerities or by samadhi of a certain kind, powers
can be acquired; but these are no means of Self-knowledge;
even when you acquire them, you may quite well be in ignorance.
D. What is the other kind?
M. They are manifestations of power and knowledge quite natural to you when you realize the Self.
They are Siddhis, products of the normal and natural tapas of the man who has reached Self-attainment.
They come of their own accord, they are God-given; they come according to one's own karma so to say.
But whether they come or not, the siddha of the Real, settled in the supreme peace, is not disturbed. For he knows the Self and that is the unshakable Siddhi. But these siddhis do not come by trying for them. When you are
in the state of realization, you will know what these
powers are.

भक्ति एवं मुक्ति -->
वेदो ने मुक्ति के चार भेद बताएँ है । किन्तु सबमेँ प्रभु की भक्ति ही को प्रधान माना गया है । इसके सामने सभी तुच्छ है ।
पहली मुक्ति " सालोक्य " प्रदान करने वाली ।
दूसरी मुक्ति "सारुप्य" देने वाली है ।
तीसरी मुक्ति "सामीप्य" प्रदान करने वाली ।
चौथी मुक्ति "निर्वाण" पद पर पहुँचाने वाली है ।
किन्तु भक्तपुरुष परमप्रभु परमात्मा की सेवा छोड़कर इन मुक्तियोँ की इच्छा नहीँ करते । वे शिवत्व , विष्णुत्व ,अमरत्व , और ब्रह्मत्व तक भी अवहेलना करते है ।
क्योँकि मुक्ति सेवा रहित होती है जबकि भक्ति मेँ निरन्तर सेवाभाव का उत्कर्ष होता रहता है ।
यही भक्ति एवं मुक्ति मेँ भेद है।

This state of immaculate aloofness can be likened to that of the sun, which is untouched by the activities of life, or to that of the i.e., the fruits of past actions which are being worked out in the present life. ~ Sri Ramana Maharshi
post 3
There is no effort required to stay as the Self.
Even the idea of staying as the Self is a false idea.
It is only useful for the imagined seeker, but eventually it is found
that the seeker itself is just another idea imagined in the Self.
Its assumed reality collapses in the light of clear seeing,
revealing the unchanging One.

You must come to the place of total silence
beyond the sense of ‘someone’ being silent.
In our natural state, we are already beyond the play of mind.
In our display as consciousness and as the evolutionary being,
which we call in its highest aspect the ‘seeker of truth’,
we are that which is in transit and transformation all the time.
But I am pointing that however many times we are transmuting and transforming,
it is being watched from a deeper consciousness, who can refute it?
And is this deeper place of seeing to be overlooked and discarded?
Or could it not be the answer of answers?
But who will receive this answer?
The one who receives that answer
dies in that moment to the infections of duality.

Krishna tells Arjuna that we have a tremendous amount of attachment to this world of material and mental structure. We keeps searching happiness out there. But how can we find a thing which has never been there? That is why we live a miserable life. But when we explore it within, all the passionate energy is channeled into awakening of wisdom. That state when realized is marked by permanent happiness, a calm state, having abundant vitality and the concentration of genius.
But even this is not the end. Its goal is to return to evolution of unitary state. In that state mind is still and the consciousness rests in pure, unitary state, which is a state of permanent bliss. This is what the purpose of meditation is..

Express yourself completely,
then keep quiet.
Be like the forces of nature:
when it blows, there is only wind;
when it rains, there is only rain;
when the clouds pass, the sun shines through.
If you open yourself to the Tao,
you are at one with the Tao
and you can embody it completely.
If you open yourself to insight,
you are at one with insight
and you can use it completely.
If you open yourself to loss,
you are at one with loss
and you can accept it completely.
Open yourself to the Tao,
then trust your natural responses;
and everything will fall into place.

The only freedom man has is to strive for and acquire the jnana which will enable him not to identify himself with the body. The body will go through the actions rendered inevitable by prarabdha (destiny based on the balance sheet of past lives) and a man is free either to identify himself with the body and be attached to the fruits of its actions, or to be detached from it and be a mere witness of its activities.
★Ramana Maharshi★
post 2
The Ordainer controls the fate of souls in accordance with their prarabdhakarma (destiny to be worked out in this life, resulting from the balance sheet of actions in past lives). Whatever is destined not to happen will not happen, try as you may. Whatever is destined to happen will happen, do what you may to prevent it. This is certain. The best course, therefore, is to remain silent.

TALK 6
HOW TO PREVENT MENTAL DISTRACTIONS
A question was asked by a monk (sannyasi) about how to prevent the mind from being distracted.
Maharshi: You see the objects on forgetting your own Self. If you keep hold of your Self, you will not see the objective world.

The void which is the infinite and all-encompassing one whole without a second, which is just the effulgence of pure wisdom, which is completely devoid of visible phenomena and which consists of the aspect `I' is the seed which fructifies as liberation, bestowing salvation by enabling one to unite with the Supreme.

The Heart is the only Reality. The mind is only a transient phase.
To remain as one's Self is to enter the Heart.
~ Ramana Maharshi
silence
"Everybody will go after only what gives happiness to him. Thinking that happiness comes from some object or other, you go after it. See from where all happiness, including the happiness you regard as coming from sense objects, really comes. You will understand all happiness comes only from Self. Then you will always abide in the Self."

To penetrate the buddha way is to penetrate yourself. To penetrate yourself is to forget yourself. To forget yourself is to be actualized by myriad things.To be actualized by myriad things is the dropping away of your body and mind as well as the bodies and minds of others.No trace of realization remains, and this no-trace-realization continues endlessly.
To learn what the path to Buddhahood is, is to learn what the True Self is. To learn what the True Self is, is to forget about the self. To forget about the self is to become one with the whole universe. To become one with the whole universe is to be shed of ‘my body and mind’ and ‘their bodies and minds’.

In the fascinating field of this existence, we are after all mortals that live and breathe the same air of expectancy, of immense inquisitiveness on what the morrow shall hold, or what remains in store for us, of the learning of good times and the ignoring of the bad ..
No matter what the feel .. that desire of the read horoscope, the Tarrot card reading, those face and palm and forehead visions and many more such, remain in-spite its obvious abhorrence perhaps publicly …
Some blindly conducting affairs in its truth and science .. some scoffing away its credibility ..
But do they really ..
Why does some happen and some not ..
WHY ..?
In the end :
I CAN AND MAY BE ANSWERABLE TO AUTHORITY AND WHY NOT .. WE ACCEPTED AUTHORITY IN OUR LIFE AND REGION .. BUT DOES THAT GIVE LIBERTY FOR ALL THAT QUESTION ME .. QUESTIONING ME, ONE THAT HAS BEEN QUESTIONED BY AUTHORITY AND ANSWERED TOO, IS SEEKING REASON TO BUILD AWAY FROM WHAT HAS BEEN ATTENDED TO .. TO BUILD ANOTHER CASTLE OF QUESTIONS THAT ENVELOPE AND DESIGN THEIR OWN WINDOWS TO THE WORLD .. WINDOWS THAT SHALL LEAD TO PERHAPS AN EXPOSURE LIKE SITUATION TO THE WORLD, BUT ONE THAT SHALL SUCCEED IN PERHAPS EXPOSING JUST THEM THAT QUESTION .. ELSE WHY WOULD THERE BE COMPLIANCE TO AUTHORITY ..!!!

It is often felt at times that the times of joy and happiness contain themselves within a circle of time ..
When too much .. comes a break .. a break of that which numbs the joy, that down grades you to earth ; do not be in such luxury dear friend, it is not that which shall remain with you forever ..
March and its Ides .. they come but they are yet to have gone ..
The same it is imagined shall happen with sorrow and grief and disappointment .. shall come by in time but remain within the limits of the circle .. or so I guess ..

Recognise the serenity of your own inner Being.
Let your attention be one with it.
Feel its vibration.
Do not create any image about this.
Allow the space and the sense of emptiness simply to be.
There is no better place to be than where you are right now.
In this instant, there is nothing to do or undo.
Nothing to change.
Nothing to fix.
Nothing to heal.
Nothing to become.
There is a natural sense of satisfaction or completeness.
Take full rest in your Self.
The world is not waiting for your next move.
You have space and time to be your Self.

66. The One Supreme Bliss, ‘Sadhasivam’ [i.e. Self] is alone approved [by Jnanis] to be the Whole Reality. This world, seen as full of miseries and defects, is unreal and divided with differences.
67. It is the result of the delusion I-am-the-limited-body, that the world, which is nothing but Consciousness, is known as a second entity, separate from Consciousness.
('Guru Vachaka Kovai', v. 66-67)

Let life be a sketch in your mind.
Don’t try to live the future or force any projection,
so that you experience being lived more than you are living.
Like this you keep discovering that there is space and room
for the unexpected changes that come dynamically
through the breath of God.
Don’t project so much what you are going to do.
Don’t turn everything into a controlled garden.
Leave some wild grassland in the landscape of your Being.

Do not speak to foolish people about the Truth,
just share the Love and Happiness,
because the greatest gift is an empty mind.
But even if you do not speak
your Silence will reach the whole planet
as a silent rose radiates beauty.
Sit Quietly and send peace from your heart
to all beings of all the worlds.
Oceans may empty, but there is no end
to Love and Peace,
so share it always in selfless service;
this is worship.

Success and failure are
due to prarabdha karma,
and not to willpower or
the lack of it....
One should try to gain
equipoise of mind under
all circumstances....
That is willpower.....

quotes 4
Nobody can say anything about you.
Whatsoever people say is about themselves.
But you become very shaky, because you
are still clinging to a false centre.
That false centre depends on others, so you
are always looking to what people are saying
about you. And you are always following other
people, you are always trying to satisfy them.
You are always trying to be respectable, you
are always trying to decorate your ego. This
is suicidal.

I AM that
* * * The Unknown is the Home of the Real * * *
Questioner: Who is the Guru and who is the supreme Guru?
Maharaj: All that happens in your consciousness is your Guru.
And pure awareness beyond consciousness is the supreme Guru.
Q: My Guru is Sri Babaji. What is your opinion of him?
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj: What a question to ask!
The space in Bombay is asked
what is its opinion of the space in Poona.
The names differ, but not the space.
The word ‘Babaji’ is merely an address.
Who lives under the address?
You ask questions when you are in trouble.
Enquire who is giving trouble and to whom.
Q: I understand everybody is under the obligation to realize. Is it his duty, or is it his destiny?
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj:
Realization is of the fact that you are not a person.
Therefore,
it cannot be the duty of the person whose destiny is to disappear.
Its destiny is the duty of him
who imagines himself to be the person.
Find out who he is and the imagined person will dissolve.
Freedom is from something.
What are you to be free from?
Obviously, you must be free from the person,
you take yourself to be,
for it is the idea you have of yourself that keeps you in bondage.
Q: How is the person removed?
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj: By determination.
Understand that it must go and wish it to go -it shall go
if you are earnest about it.
Somebody, anybody, will tell you that
you are pure consciousness, not a body-mind.
Accept it as a possibility and investigate earnestly.
You may discover that it is not so,
that you are not a person bound in space and time.
Think of the difference it would make!
Q: If I am not a person, then what am I?
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj:
Wet cloth looks, feels, smells differently as long as it is wet.
When dry it is again the normal cloth.
Water has left it and who can make out that it was wet?
Your real nature is not like what you appear to be.
Give up the idea of being a person, that is all.
You need not become what you are anyhow.
There is the identity of what you are and
there is the person superimposed on it.
All you know is the person, the identity - which is not a person-
you do not know, for you never doubted, never asked yourself the crucial question - ‘Who am I’.
The identity is the witness of the person and
sadhana consists in shifting the emphasis from the superficial and changeful person
to the immutable and ever-present witness.
Q: How is it that the question ‘Who am I’ attracts me little? I prefer to spend my time in the sweet company of saints.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj:
Abiding in your own being is also holy company.
If you have no problem of suffering and release from suffering,
you will not find the energy and persistence needed for self-enquiry.
You cannot manufacture a crisis. It must be genuine.
Q: How does a genuine crisis happen?
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj:
It happens every moment,
but you are not alert enough.
A shadow on your neighbour’s face, the immense and
all-pervading sorrow of existence is a constant factor in your life,
but you refuse to take notice.
You suffer and see others suffer, but you don’t respond.
Q: What you say is true, but what can I do about it? Such in-deed is the situation. My helplessness and dullness are a part of it.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj: Good enough.
Look at yourself steadily - it is enough.
The door that locks you in, is also the door that lets you out.
The ‘I am’ is the door.
Stay at it until it opens.
As a matter of fact, it is open, only you are not at it.
You are waiting at the non-existent painted doors,
which will never open.
Q: Many of us were taking drugs at some time, and to some extent. People told us to take drugs in order to break through into higher levels of consciousness. Others advised us to have
abundant sex for the same purpose. What is your opinion in the matter?
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj:
No doubt,
a drug that can affect your brain can also affect your mind,
and give you all the strange experiences promised.
But what are all the drugs compared to the drug
that gave you this most unusual experience of being born and living in sorrow and fear,
in search of happiness, which does not come, or does not last.
You should enquire into the nature of this drug and
find an antidote.
Birth, life, death - they are one.
Find out what had caused them.
Before you were born, you were already drugged.
What kind of drug was it?
You may cure yourself of all diseases,
but if you are still under the influence of the primordial drug,
of what use are the superficial cures?
Q: Is it not karma that causes rebirth?
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj:
You may change the name, but the fact remains.
What is the drug which you call karma or destiny?
It made you believe yourself to be what you are not.
What is it, and can you be free of it?
Before you go further you must accept,
at least as a working theory,
that you are not what you appear to be,
that you are under the influence of a drug.
Then only you will have the urge and the patience to examine the symptoms and search for their common cause.
All that a Guru can tell you is:
‘My dear Sir, you are quite mistaken about yourself.
You are not the person you think yourself to be.’
Trust nobody, not even yourself.
Search, find out, remove and reject every assumption till you reach the living waters and the rock of truth.
Until you are free of the drug,
all your religions and sciences, prayers and Yogas
are of no use to you,for based on a mistake, they strengthen it.
But if you stay with the idea that you are not the body nor the mind,
not even their witness, but altogether beyond,
your mind will grow in clarity, your desires -in purity,
your actions - in charity and
that inner distillation will take you to another world,
a world of truth and fearless love.
Resist your old habits of feeling and thinking;
keep on telling yourself:
‘No, not so, it cannot be so; I am not like this,
I do not need it, I do not want it’,
and a day will surely come when the entire structure of error and
despair will collapse and the ground will be free for a new life.
After all, you must remember,
that all your preoccupations with yourself are only during waking hours and
partly in your dreams; in sleep all is put aside and forgotten.
It shows how little important is your waking life, even to yourself,
that merely lying down and closing the eyes can end it.
Each time you go to sleep you do so
without the least certainty of waking up and yet you accept the risk.
Q: When you sleep, are you conscious or unconscious?
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj: I remain conscious,
but not conscious of being a particular person.
Q: Can you give us the taste of the experience of self-realization?
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj:
Take the whole of it!
It is here for the asking.
But you do not ask.
Even when you ask, you do not take.
Find out what prevents you from taking.
Q: I know what prevents - my ego.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj:
Then get busy with your ego - leave me alone.
As long as you are locked up within your mind,
my state is beyond your grasp.
Q: I find I have no more questions to ask.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj:
Were you really at war with your ego,
you would have put many more questions.
You are short of questions
because you are not really interested.
At present you are moved by the pleasure-pain principle
which is the ego.
You are going along with the ego, you are not fighting it.
You are not even aware how totally you are swayed
by personal considerations.
A man should be always in revolt against himself, for the ego,
like a crooked mirror, narrows down and distorts.
It is the worst of all the tyrants, it dominates you absolutely.
Q: When there is no ‘I’ who is free?
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj: The world is free of a mighty nuisance. Good enough.
Q: Good for whom?
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj: Good for everybody.
It is like a rope stretched across the street, it snarls up the traffic.
Roll up, it is there, as mere identity, useful when needed.
Freedom from the ego-self is the fruit of self-enquiry.
Q: There was a time when I was most displeased with myself. Now I have met my Guru and I am at peace, after having surrendered myself to him completely.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj:
If you watch your daily life you will see that
you have surrendered nothing.
You have merely added the word ‘surrender’
to your vocabulary and
made your Guru into a peg to hang your problems on.
Real surrender means doing nothing,
unless prompted by the Guru.
You step, so to say, aside and let your Guru live your life.
You merely watch and wonder
how easily he solves the problems which to you seemed insoluble.
Q: As I sit here, I see the room, the people. I see you too. How does it look at your end? What do you see?
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj: Nothing.
I look, but I do not see in the sense of creating images clothed
with judgements.
I do not describe nor evaluate.
I look. I see you, but neither attitude nor opinion cloud my vision.
And when I turn my eyes away,
my mind does not allow memory to linger;
it is at once free and fresh for the next impression.
Q: As I am here, looking at you, I cannot locate the event in space and time. There is something eternal and universal about the transmission of wisdom that is taking place. Ten thousand years earlier, or later, make no difference — the event itself is timeless.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj:
Man does not change much over the ages.
Human problems remain the same and call for the same answers.
Your being conscious of what you call transmission of wisdom shows that wisdom has not yet been transmitted.
When you have it, you are no longer conscious of it.
What is really your own, you are not conscious of.
What you are conscious of is neither you nor yours.
Yours is the power of perception, not what you perceive.
It is a mistake to take the conscious to be the whole of man.
Man is the unconscious, conscious and the super-conscious,
but you are not the man.
Yours is the cinema screen, the light as well as the seeing power, but the picture is not you.
Q: Must I search for the Guru, or shall I stay with whomever I have found?
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj:
The very question shows that you have not yet found one.
As long as you have not realized, you will move from Guru to Guru,
but when you have found yourself, the search will end.
A Guru is a milestone.
When you are on the move, you pass so many milestones.
When you have reached your destination,
it is the last alone that mattered.
In realty all mattered at their own time and none matters now.
Q: You seem to give no importance to the Guru. He is merely an incident among others.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj:
All incidents contribute, but none is crucial.
On the road each step helps you to reach your destination, and each is as crucial as the other,
for each step must be made, you cannot skip it.
If you refuse to make it, you are stuck!
Q: Everybody sings the glories of the Guru, while you compare him to a milestone. Don’t we need a Guru?
Maharaj: Don’t we need a milestone? Yes and no.
Yes, if we are un-certain, no if we know our way.
Once we are certain in ourselves,
the Guru is no longer needed, except in a technical sense.
Your mind is an instrument, after all,
and you should know how to use it.
As you are taught the uses of your body,
so you should know how to use your mind.
Q: What do I gain by learning to use my mind?
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj:
You gain freedom from desire and fear,
which are entirely due to wrong uses of the mind.
Mere mental knowledge is not enough.
The known is accidental, the unknown is the home of the real.
To live in the known is bondage, to live in the unknown is liberation.
Q: I have understood that all spiritual practice consists in the elimination of the personal self. Such practice demands iron de-termination and relentless application. Where to find the integrity and energy for such work?
Maharaj: You find it in the company of the wise.
Q: How do I know who is wise and who is merely clever?
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj:
If your motives are pure, if you seek truth and nothing else,
you will find the right people.
Finding them is easy, what is difficult is to trust them and take full advantage of their advice and guidance.
Q: Is waking state more important for spiritual practice than sleep?
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj:
On the whole we attach too much importance, to the waking state.
Without sleep the waking state would be impossible;
without sleep one goes mad or dies; why attach so much importance to waking consciousness,
which is obviously dependent on the unconscious?
Not only the conscious but the unconscious as well should be taken care of in our spiritual practice.
Q: How does one attend to the unconscious?
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj:
Keep the ‘I am’ in the focus of awareness,
remember that you are,
watch yourself ceaselessly and the unconscious will flow into the conscious without any special effort on your part.
Wrong desires and fears, false ideas, social inhibitions are blocking and preventing its free interplay with the conscious.
Once free to mingle, the two become one and
the one becomes all.
The person merges into the witness, the witness into awareness, awareness into pure being, yet identity is not lost,
only its limitations are lost. It is transfigured, and becomes the real Self, the sadguru,
the eternal friend and guide.
You cannot approach it in worship.
No external activity can reach the inner self; worship and prayers remain on the surface only;
to go deeper medi-tation is essential, the striving to go beyond the states of sleep, dream and waking.
In the beginning the attempts are irregular,
then they recur more often, become regular,
then continuous and intense, until all obstacles are conquered.
Q: Obstacles to what?
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj: To self-forgetting.
Q: If worship and prayers are ineffectual why do you worship daily, with songs and music, the image of your Guru!
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj:
Those who want it, do it.
I see no purpose in interfering.
Q: But you take part in it.
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj: Yes, it appears so.
But why be so concerned with me?
Give all your attention to the question:
‘What is it that makes me conscious?’,
until your mind becomes the question itself and cannot think of anything else.
Q: All and sundry are urging me to meditate. I find no zest in meditation, but I am interested in many others things; some I want very much and my mind goes to them; my attempts at meditation are so half-hearted, what am I to do?
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj:
Ask yourself: ‘to whom it all happens?’
Use everything as an opportunity to go within.
Light your way by burning up obstacles in the intensity of awareness.
When you happen to desire or fear,
it is not the desire or fear that are wrong and must go,
but the person who desires and fears.
There is no point in fighting desires and fears
which may be perfectly natural and justified;
it is the person,
who is swayed by them,
that is the cause of mistakes, past and future.
This person should be carefully examined and its falseness seen;
then its power over you will end.
After all, it subsides each time you go to sleep.
In deep sleep you are not a self-conscious person,
yet you are alive.
When you are alive and conscious,
but no longer self-conscious, you are not a person any more.
During the waking hours you are, as if,
on the stage, playing a role,
but what are you when the play is over?
You are what you are;
what you were before the play began you remain when it is over.
Look at yourself as performing on the stage of life.
The performance may be splendid or clumsy, but you are not in it,
you merely watch it; with interest and sympathy, of course,
but keeping in mind all the time that you are only watching while the play life is going on.
Q: You are always stressing the cognition aspect of reality. You hardly ever mention affection, and will — never?
Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj:
Will, affection, bliss, striving and enjoying are
so deeply tainted with the personal, that they cannot be trusted.
The clarification and purification needed at the very start of the journey, only awareness can give.
Love and will shall have their turn,
but the ground must be prepared.
The sun of awareness must rise first all else will follow.
~ from I AM THAT book
quotes 1
"This world is like a dream, and in this dream-like world whatever is considered to be good or bad, merit or sin, or anything in the realm of dualistic morality is of no consequence in the process of awakening to the Self. Therefore, renunciation of both sides of duality such as good and bad, auspicious and inauspicious, is necessary to gain Self-Knowledge."
~Shri Sadguru Siddharameshwar Maharaj
quotes 5
You've found something which does not come or go. Until now everything that you've perceived is coming or going. Start there. You've come to a Stillness. But the mind says, "Where is the joy?" I don't know, but the Stillnes feels really good. Just BE Here. Where there is Stillness, there is contentment. Where there is contentment, there is rest. Where there is rest, there is Peace. Where there is Peace, there'll be Joy. Where there's Joy, there'll be Love. Where there is Love, there'll be Compassion. Where there is Compassion, there'll be Wisdom. Where there is Wisdom, there is God.

This for me has been the best season in Rishikesh; perhaps the most profound. Year after year its been becoming more subtle, more deep, more clear that we've reached some place now, a strength. I don't feel that we are finishing this season in a state of fragmentation, but in a unified field; a strong sangha. Many beings are coming into their fullness but still don't say, " Oh yes! Now I am awake." ... don't say anything. Just shut up and keep quiet and keep marinating and keep dissolving inside your Inner Ocean. Just be like this. Move quietly in your way. Let people say about you more than what you say about yourself. Go your own way because, wherever you go in this Knowing, you are always Here. This is a very mighty Existence. Its a wonderful, magnificent life, but especially so when you are Self-aware in the right way. In the manifest dynamic field it is still a dream. Dream meaning that the mind takes a picture and thinks that it is solid...but everything here is fluid, everything is moving. Nothing is the same. Different points you look at are changing, or your mood is changing. The whole play of perception is unreliable, except when you, yourSelf have come to a Stillness, a Silence. Move in the Great Dream but as one who is Awake. This is the Secret. Thank you.

Lord Shiva is seated deep in everyone’s heart.
He is Nirguna (One who is without form or its attributes).
He is Nirakaar (Has no shape or form).
He is the Para-Brahman - that is all pervading.
Believe in this.
This is Rudra Puja.

mooji quotes
If you want to go all the way, throw all away.
And right there, there is a joy, a freedom and lightness.
Strip everything back to nothing.
Throw your attachments, your desires, your needs and immediately you are in a state of total freshness. Total wholeness.
Every human being should do this once in a while.
The serious seeker develops this unsparing attitude to free their minds from the cholesterol of egoic identity.
Be in that emptiness and you see that emptiness is completeness.
And the more you do it, the more you enjoy the effortlessness of it all.
Now, you ignore the voice of the interpreter, the journalist, the accountant or the mathematician and in a short while, you won't want him back.
If you want to go all the way, throw all away.

Arunachala Ramana....
Love and Surrender....
The ordainer controls the fate of souls i
n accordance with their
"prarabdha karma"...
( destiny to be worked out in this life,
resulting from the balance sheet of actions in past lives)....
Whatever is destined to happen will happen,
do what you may to prevent it...
This is certain....
The best course, therefore,
is to remain silent....

There are times when you need to just not say what you want to say. Unpleasant truths are not always palatable! Instead look within to find a better source of solution, the language of silence. Yes, once you are silent then the Universe whispers the course that would bring peace. There are times when we need to be less judgmental and more responsive on grounds of compassion only to give your soul the peace it longs for.

quote 3
WHO ARE YOU?
“You are…
beyond the body-mind and personality,
beyond all the experience and the experiencer thereof,
beyond the world and its perceiver,
beyond existence and its absence,
beyond all assertions and denials.
Be still and awaken to the realization of who you are.
In this realization of no separate self,
the supreme Reality which you are shines unobscured
in all things, as all things, and beyond all things.
Having returned to the formless source
and transcended all separateness,
do not stop or cling even to this source,
but go beyond to the supreme realization
which transcends all dualities,
yet does not deny even a speck of dust.
The enlightened sage abides,
as the eternal witness,
wholly unconcerned, yet intimately engaged,
resting beyond all definitions,
neither clinging to transcendent freedom,
nor entangled by the dualistic world
therefore, one with all life.
Living in the perfect trust of supreme realization,
the enlightened sage has nothing to gain or lose
and naturally manifests love, wisdom, and compassion
without any personal sense of being the doer of deeds.
Having abandoned all concepts and ideas,
the enlightened sage lives as ever-present consciousness,
manifested and manifesting in the world of time and space
that which is eternal, ever new, and whole.
In this unobscured realization,
supreme Reality shines consciously
in all things, as all things, and beyond all things.
Shining unobscured, it penetrates the entire universe.
Penetrating the entire universe,
it knows itself as Self.”
~ Adyashanti
quotes
Life is #intensity. Do you see the life within you does not slacken even for a moment? What slackens is your mind and your emotion – sometimes on, sometimes off. Watch the breath, does it ever slacken? If it slackens, it means death, isn’t it? When I go on telling you in so many ways to be intense, I am just talking about you becoming like #life.
post
Eckhart Tolle
“The beginning of freedom is the realization that you are not “the thinker.” The moment you start watching the thinker, a higher level of consciousness becomes activated. You then begin to realize that there is a vast realm of intelligence beyond thought, that thought is only a tiny aspect of that intelligence.
You also realize that all the things that truly matter – beauty, love, creativity, joy, inner peace – arise from beyond the mind. You begin to awaken.”

🌻🌺 प्रपंचातील आसक्ति कमी कशी होईल ? 🌺🌻
आज आमची स्थिती कशी झाली आहे पाहा; प्रपंच आम्हाला सुटत नाही; भगवंताचे प्रेम आम्हाला पाहिजे; या प्रपंचावरचे प्रेम न सोडता आम्हाला भगवंताचे समाधान लाभावे अशी आमची इच्छा आहे.
खरोखर, प्रपंचातले आमचे हे प्रेम व्यभिचारी आहे. प्रेम ही वस्तू अशी आहे, की ती एकाच ठिकाणी ठेवता येईल. एका म्यानात ज्याप्रमाणे दोन तलवारी राहू शकत नाहीत, त्याप्रमाणे आमचे प्रेम आम्हाला दोन ठिकाणी ठेवता येणार नाही.
आमचे खरे सुख एका भगवंताजवळच आहे; आणि ते मिळविण्यासाठी आम्ही प्रपंच सोडायलाच पाहिजे असे नाही. प्रपंचात आम्हाला वाटणारी आसक्ती ही मुख्यतः नाहीशी झाली पाहिजे. शास्त्रातसुद्धा हेच सांगितले आहे. शास्त्र हे अनुभवाचे बनले आहे. आमचा अनुभव आम्ही शास्त्राबरोबर पडताळून पाहात नाही.
प्रपंचाची खरी किंमत आम्हाला कळल्याशिवाय त्याच्याबद्दल वाटणारी आमची आसक्ती कमी होणार नाही. आज प्रपंचात सुख नाही हे अनुभवाला येऊनही त्याची आसक्ती आम्हाला सुटत नाही. ती आसक्ती सुटायला काय मार्ग आहे तो आम्ही पाहणे अगदी जरूर आहे.
प्रपंचाची आम्हाला गरज किती आहे? एखादा मनुष्य फिरायला जाताना हातात काठी घेतो. त्याला हातात काठी घेणे हे भूषण आहे असे कोणी म्हणत नाही. त्याप्रमाणे भगवंताकडे जायला प्रपंचाची आम्हाला आधारापुरतीच गरज आहे.
हा प्रपंच करीत असताना त्याची आसक्ती कमी होऊन भगवंताचे प्रेम येण्यासाठी, शास्त्रांनी घालून दिलेली बंधने आम्ही पाळली पाहिजेत, आणि त्यासाठी आपले आचारविचार आणि उच्चार आम्ही सांभाळणे जरूर आहे. आपण आपल्या संस्कारांप्रमाणे वागलो तर निवृत्तिमध्येच जाऊ; कारण आपली प्रवृत्ती ही सर्व निवृत्तिपरच आहे यात संशय नाही. आता यापुढे आपण रामाच्या नावाने प्रपंचाचा धंदा करू या, म्हणजे नफातोटा त्याचाच होईल.
प्रपंचात सदाचाराने वागावे. सदाचार हा मूळ पाया आहे. नीतिधर्माचे आचरण असावे. नीतिधर्माची बंधने ही आमचे विकार आवरण्यासाठीच आहेत.
विचाराने अत्यंत पवित्र असावे. कोणाचा द्वेष, मत्सर करू नये, आणि दुसऱ्याचे अहित चिंतू नये.
उच्चार तर फार सांभाळले पाहिजेत. नेहमी सर्वांशी गोड बोलावे. ज्या जिभेने आपण भगवंताचे नाम घेतो, त्या जिभेने दुसऱ्याचे अंतःकरण कधीही न दुखावेल याची खबरदारी घ्या. अंतःकरण दुखवीत असताना त्याच्या ठिकाणी वास करीत असलेल्या भगवंतालाच आपण दुखवीत असतो हे ध्यानात धरा.
७६. प्रपंचातले आपले मन आपण काढून भगवंताकडे लावावे. तसे करण्यात समाधान आहे.
🙏🌹श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम 🌹🙏
