HSIN HSIN MING part 6

Consider the movement in stillness and the stationary in motion,

both movement and rest disappear.

When such dualities cease to exist

even Oneness itself cannot exist.

This ultimate state

is not bound by rules and descriptions.

For the Realized mind, at one with the Way,

all doing ceases.

Doubts and irresolutions vanish

and the Truth is confirmed in you.

With a single stroke you are freed from bondage;

nothing clings to you and you hold onto nothing.

All is void, clear, and self-illuminating,

with no need to exert the mind.

Here thinking, feeling, knowledge, and imagination

are of no value.

In this world of “as it really is”

there is neither self nor other.

To swiftly accord with that,

only express nonduality.

- The Hsin Hsin Ming (Shinjinmei in Japanese) is a verse attributed to the Third Chinese Chan (Zen) Patriarch Seng’tsan (known as Sosan in Japan). Written in the 6th century, it is considered the first clear and comprehensive statement of Zen. (Eric Putkonen)

Apart from thoughts, there is no independent entity called the world. ~ Sri Ramana Maharshi

Question: Robert, have you always had this realisation?

Robert: I guess. There is no telling. People have asked me about this so I will tell you a little bit about it:

When I was a small child in a crib, a little man used to be on the other side. For a long period l would lie there and he would be talking to me from the edge of the crib. And of course being a baby, I didn’t know what he was talking about. As far as I know he was talking to me ever since I was born. I couldn’t understand what he was saying.

I used to believe everybody had that experience. When I was about five or six years old, I told my parents about it, and they thought I was playing games. I told my friends, and they laughed at me. So I stopped saying anything about it. The visitations stopped when I was about seven. My father died. And all of a sudden, the little man stopped coming to me.

Then I asked my mother, ‘What am I doing here? I don’t belong here.’ I didn’t understand what I was saying but I felt that I was out of place. My mother thought I was crazy, and so did a lot of other people. She took me to the doctor, and the doctor told her it would go away.

When I was going to school I never really fit in because I was always daydreaming. I had strange experiences. I used to sit in the class and become swallowed up in consciousness. I became omnipresent. I had out-of-body experiences. I just merged with consciousness. I couldn’t understand what was happening.

Then when I was about fourteen years old, I went to the library to do a book report. I passed the philosophy section and saw a book on yoga masters. I didn’t even know what that meant at the time. I opened the book to a page, and there was a picture of Ramana Maharshi. My hair stood on end, because it was the same person who appeared to me when I was a baby in my crib! Since then I have never been the same.

D.: Surrender is said to be bhakti. But Sri Bhagavan is known to favour enquiry for the Self. There is thus confusion in the hearer.

M.: Surrender can take effect only when done with full knowledge. Such knowledge comes after enquiry. It ends in surrender.

D.: The knowledge of the Supreme Being is after transcending the individual self. This is jnana. Where is the need for surrender?

M.: Quite so. There is no difference between jnana and surrender. (Smile).

D.: How is the questioner satisfied then? The only alternative left is association with the wise or devotion to God (satsanga or Isvara bhakti).

M.: Smiled and said, “Yes.”

WHEN IN TROUBLE...

You can say,

"Self, here I am again in trouble.

I have no idea what to do next,

but you are really me,

even though you are all pervading,

you are expressing as myself.

You know what to do.

I therefore, surrender completely to you.

I surrender my body,

I surrender my affairs,

I surrender my world.

I have no need to worry or fret.

You will take care of everything".

And you let go.

If you can learn to do this first,

before you take any other action,

you will be pleasantly surprised what happens.

~Robert Adams.

If it requires no effort 

to breathe,

it requires no effort 

to be the Self.

Therefore, all efforts 

and practices 

are for the mind

and not for the Self, 

which is perfectly effortless.

The sage is one who has offered as a sacrifice his own individuality, and this annihilation of identity is tantamount to a merging with the Totality in complete love.

GOD IS NOT AN EXPERIENCE.

No experience as such is spiritual; all experiences are mind games. Beware of it. 

Whatsoever can be seen will be part of the illusory world. 

THE SEER IS THE TRUTH, NOT THE SEEN.

You can see auras and you can see angels and you can see kundalini rising and you can see inner lights - but they are all seen. They are not you!

THE SEER IS THE WITNESS, AND ONLY THE WITNESS IS THE TRUTH. All else is a dream. 

And there are worldly dreams and there are other-worldly dreams; there are materialistic dreams and there are spiritualistic dreams. One thing has to be remembered always, that whatsoever is seen is worthless - even if it is God. 

THE GOD THAT IS SEEN IS WORTHLESS.

When all experiences disappear and you are left utterly alone, nothing to see, only emptiness in the hands, no experience at all, then suddenly you realize yourself. 

Then you turn upon yourself, then you fall into your source. 

AND THAT IS NOT AN EXPERIENCE - IT IS A REALISATION.  

That is the difference between the words "experience" and "realisation". 

It is not that you have seen something, experienced something. Now you know who you are.

What is JNANA YOGA ..??

........

Is to realise that you don't know anything.. you cannot know anything..life is a mystery, always remains a mystery... Mind is of not much use..you become ready to sacrifice the mind..

Deep down you are always ignorant.. Mind never fulfills your thirst.. It makes you cunning, clever, divided, arrogant, selfish, greedy, jealous.. You throw it and again become innocent like a child.. The ultimate wisdom is to switch off the mind, no thoughts, just silence..

KARMA YOGA

It is  to understand that what ever you do is not your doing.. It's gods doing.. You cannot say you choose to born nor you can say you choose your death.. You cannot say you breathe because it's a natural process.. You cannot say you digest what you eat..whatever happens, happens on its own.. Till God wills you are alive..whatever actions you do is the actions of the universe through you.. If the breathing stops everything is stopped.. You perform your actions without the sense of doership..

RAJA YOGA

Living like a king.. You realise that existence accepts you as you are..it still breathes through you. There is no need for others to accept you. No need to prove your worth.. No need to succeed or become something.. You are already a king.. Dropping all ambitions.. No need even for enlightenment.. Just this moment of life is enough.. Who knows about tomorrow... This  realisation is Raja yoga.. Living in the now... You are a king already..

BHAKTI YOGA

Surrendering to existence.. Connecting to nature.  Gratefulness for the life energy in you.. Knowing that you are in God's hands and even if he kills you that is great.. Feeling that all is God. The food that you eat came from a tree.. The tree had absorbed water,earth,sun,moon,wind  and stars.. You are made of the whole universe..accepting all that God gives in life.. Leaving the choice to God. Living without plans.. Just enjoying the beauty of nature is Bhakti yoga..

To realise only God exist.. All attachments are dropped and you accept the whole universe as yours..

To realise that love of human Beigns is not fulfilling.. Only the love for the whole universe fulfills you...

A person who has all the four becomes one with nature, God...he transcends mind.. Becomes one with the whole..
