realise self

The only useful purpose of the present birth is to turn within and realize the Self.

ramana Maharshi

If you become aware that you have chosen to tread the 'Spiritual Path', the first thing you will have to observe is : "Put an end to all forms of 'curiosity' !" Second thing is, "Accept things as they ARE !"

After taking this ' Jnana Snaana ',  you're now ready !  That is, you are now in a state of "Not 'I', Oh Lord !  'YOU' alone exist"  !  "Curiosity " is the child of "Ego" !  "Surrender" is the Mother of "Enlightenment" !

- Sri V Ganesan 14 Jan

The boat in touch with

the sacred river but

the boatman chooses

to float over. The sacred

neither glides nor drowns.

Papaji

You come for freedom; in truth there is no difference between bondage and freedom.

If you want to be free, this is from the viewpoint of bondage. When you are ready to reject both bondage and freedom, this is the Freedom I speak about.

~ Papaji
