 D.: It is all right for those who believe in God. Others ask - Is there a God?

M.: Are you there?

D.: Quite so. That is the question. I see before my eyes a battalion of sepoys passing. Therefore I am. The world must have been created by God. How shall I see the Creator?

M.: See yourself, who sees these, and the problem is solved.

Life

 My whole life I have seen many things disappearing. I have made more friends than perhaps anybody has ever made. But somebody is a friend today - tomorrow it is finished. He finds some path on a crossroad and separates. But I have always taken it for granted that we are only travelers - one never knows how long someone is going to be with you.


While someone is with you, give as much love as you can, share as much as you can. Tomorrow perhaps you will have to say goodbye to the person.


My whole life I have been going from one place to another place because something has failed. But I have not failed. Thousands of dreams can fail - that does not make me a failure. On the contrary, each dream disappearing makes me more victorious because it does not disturb me, does not even touch me. Its disappearance is an advantage, is an opportunity to learn to be mature. Then the best will be coming out of you. And whatever happens will not make any difference - your best will go on growing to higher peaks.


But never try to succeed against time, against life, against existence. Always remain in a let-go.


Then one is never defeated, is never in a state of failure. And there is nothing to hide because there is no clinging to anything to make it permanent - any relationship, any friendship, any activity, anything - there is no desire to cling to it as long as things happen which you enjoy. You open yourself, you allow the juice of those moments to fill your being, and when those moments are gone you are always grateful,

never complaining.


If the disappearing dreams leave you in gratitude, then the best is going to grow in you. I have never looked back.

Light on the Path

Emptiness true nature

 

Don't look for
Happiness

World doesn't come for this happiness.
Mind is empty. Content . No questions.no desire.no intention . Not swimming in past nor in future.
World doesn't understand that
.
Nothingness is taboo in the world .
You have to become something .Not in real tune and time . Not have any aspiration .
Peaceful and happy.
Open to nothingness.
look for approval from world .. don't .
Spend little time .
They will not appreciate your buddha nature .
They can not know your nature.

Don't look for praise and acceptance from the world.
Be comfortable with your self.
Life is resting in peace.
One who found his true nature resting in peace.silence truth can not be understood . It can be experienced. Natural mind and pure self is same thing.

Fear .. u feel stupid .. no .. don't know one who knows nothing .
Yet he knows everything.

My question
How to bear emptiness....?

Work

 Your hands may do the work, but your mind can remain still. 

You are THAT which never moves.


~ Sri Ramana Maharishi

Truth

 He revealed to me the transcendent truth

so that I came to dwell in holy silence at his feet,

bathing again and again

in the sacred waters of divine awareness

until my heart was pure and refreshed,

and as the flame of bliss flared up within me,

all my bitter suffering came to an end.


(Muruganar - Sri Ramana Anubhuti)

be no thing

Be No Thing
=============

Number one, you have to develop humility. You have to open your heart to loving kindness.

Number two, you have to forget about yourself and your problems as if they never existed, and help others. Give of 
yourself to others, because there is only One Self, and I Am As That.

Number three, you have to stop quoting teachers and telling yourself that I am Brahman, I am no-mind, I am 
Consciousness, for that really inflates your ego. You have to stop comparing yourself with anybody or anything.

In other words, you have to become nothing, and that hurts some of you. Because you say, after all, I've gone to school for fifty years, I've got a profession, I'm doing this and I'm doing that. And now you tell me I have to become nothing.

Well, Consciousness is nothing, it is no-thing. What you call God is nothing. So if nothing is good enough for God, i should be good enough for you, too. Can't you see now that when you say to yourself, "Well, I'll never be nothing, I'm somebody, I've studied for years, I'm somebody important... ." 

Can't you see now that this is what holds you back? 
Every sage has come to the point where they've thrown away the scriptures, thrown away the books, thrown away their body, 
thrown away their knowledge, and thrown away themselves with a small "s." When you get rid of all that stuff, then you 
become your Self.

Dialogue with Robert Adams

self

From ~~~ Letters from Sri Ramanasramam, 179.

Sri Ramana.:

To reject the bad, you must love the good.
In due course that good also will appear 
to be an obstacle and will be rejected. 

Hence, you must necessarily 
first love what is good. 
That means you must first love 
and then reject the thing you love. 

If you thus reject everything, 
what remains is the Self alone. 
That is real love. 

One who knows the secret of that love 
finds the world itself full of universal love.
~~~~~~~

Nothing

If you want liberation, you have to
pay the price. 
And the price is letting go, giving it all up, surrendering. Having perfect faith that all is well ..
Just realize that everything is
in its right place, just the way it
is. 
Don't interpret it. 
There are no mistakes. 

~Robert Adams
