knower of self
"In the language of duality alone are questions and answers. In non-duality they are not."
" He, who by questioning inward for the Knower, has destroyed the ego and transcended so-called knowledge abides as the Self. He alone is a true knower, not one who has not seen the Self and therefore has an ego still."

क्षणभंगुर से हमारा जो संबंध हम बना लेते हैं और शाश्वत की आकांक्षा करने लगते हैं उससे दुख पैदा होता है। शाश्वत जरूर कुछ है; नहीं है, ऐसा नहीं। शाश्वत है। तुम्हारा होना शाश्वत है। अस्तित्व शाश्वत है। आकांक्षा कोई भी शाश्वत नहीं है। दृश्य कोई भी शाश्वत नहीं है।
******
तुम एक प्रेम में पड़ गए। तुमने एक स्त्री को चाहा, एक पुरुष को चाहा, खूब चाहा। जब भी तुम किसी को चाहते हो, तुम चाहते हो तुम्हारी चाह शाश्वत हो जाए। जिसे तुमने प्रेम किया वह प्रेम शाश्वत हो जाए। यह हो नहीं सकता। यह वस्तुओं का स्वभाव नहीं। तुम भटकोगे। तुम रोओगे। तुम तड़पोगे। तुमने अपने विषाद के बीज बो लिए। तुमने अपनी आकांक्षा में ही अपने जीवन में जहर डाल लिया।
यह टिकने वाला नहीं है। कुछ भी नहीं टिकता यहां। यहां सब बह जाता है। आया और गया। अब तुमने यह जो आकांक्षा की है कि शाश्वत हो जाए, सदा—सदा के लिए हो जाए; यह प्रेम जो हुआ, कभी न टूटे, अटूट हो; यह श्रृंखला बनी ही रहे, यह धार कभी क्षीण न हो, यह सरिता बहती ही रहे—बस, अब तुम अड़चन में पड़े। आकांक्षा शाश्वत की और प्रेम क्षणभंगुर का; अब बेचैनी होगी, अब संताप होगा। या तो प्रेम मर जाएगा या प्रेमी मरेगा। कुछ न कुछ होगा। कुछ न कुछ विध्न पड़ेगा। कुछ न कुछ बाधा आएगी।
ऐसा ही समझो, हवा का एक झोंका आया और तुमने कहा, सदा आता रहे। तुम्हारी आकांक्षा से तो हवा के झोंके नहीं चलते। वसंत में फूल खिले तो तुमने कहा सदा खिलते रहें। तुम्हारी आकांक्षा से तो फूल नहीं खिलते। आकाश में तारे थे, तुमने कहा दिन में भी रहें। तुम्हारी आकांक्षा से तो तारे नहीं संचालित होते। जब दिन में तारे न पाओगे, दुखी हो जाओगे। जब पतझड़ में पत्ते गिरने लगेंगे, और फूलों का कहीं पता न रहेगा, और वृक्ष नग्न खड़े होंगे दिगंबर, तब तुम रोओगे, तब तुम पछताओगे। तब तुम कहोगे, कुछ धोखा दिया, किसी ने धोखा दिया।
किसी ने धोखा नहीं दिया है। जिस दिन तुम्हारा और तुम्हारी प्रेयसी के बीच प्रेम चुक जाएगा, उस दिन तुम यह मत सोचना कि प्रेयसी ने धोखा दिया है; यह मत सोचना कि प्रेमी दगाबाज निकला। नहीं, प्रेम दगाबाज है। न तो प्रेयसी दगाबाज है, न प्रेमी दगाबाज है—प्रेम दगाबाज है।
जिसे तुमने प्रेम जाना था वह क्षणभंगुर था, पानी का बबूला था। अभी—अभी बड़ा होता दिखता था। पानी के बबूले पर पड़ती सूरज की किरणें इंद्रधनुष का जाल बुनती थीं। कैसा रंगीन था! कैसा सतरंगा था! कैसे काव्य की स्फुरणा हो रही थी! और अभी गया। गया तो सब गए इंद्रधनुष! गया तो सब गए सुतरंग। गया तो गया सब काव्य! कुछ भी न बचा।
क्षणभंगुर से हमारा जो संबंध हम बना लेते हैं और शाश्वत की आकांक्षा करने लगते हैं उससे दुख पैदा होता है। शाश्वत जरूर कुछ है; नहीं है, ऐसा नहीं। शाश्वत है। तुम्हारा होना शाश्वत है। अस्तित्व शाश्वत है। आकांक्षा कोई भी शाश्वत नहीं है। दृश्य कोई भी शाश्वत नहीं है। लेकिन द्रष्टा शाश्वत है।

yog
Mr. B. C. Das, the Physics Lecturer, asked: “Yoga means union. I wonder union of which with which.”
Maharshi: Exactly. Yoga implies prior division and it means later union of one with another. Who is to be united with whom? You are the seeker, seeking union with something. That something is apart from you. Your Self is intimate to you. You are aware of the Self. Seek it and be it. That will expand as the Infinite. Then there will be no question of yoga, etc. Whose is the separation (viyoga)? Find it.
(Talks with Sri Ramana Maharshi)
action
"Actions form no bondage.
Bondage is only the false notion -
" I-am-the-doer ".
Leave off such thoughts and let the body and senses play their role,
unimpeded by your interference."
~ Bhagvan Sri Ramana Maharishi
turiya
‘’If the beginningless, impure vasanas that remain as the cause for waking and dream leave and perish, the state of sleep (previously
perceived as) void-like and dull, and which led us into a state of ignorance and suffering, will become the transcendent state of turiya.’’
- Guru Vachaka Kovai, verse 460
non attachment
From ~~~ Sri Ramana Maharshi - Who Am I?, 19
Q.:
What is non-attachment?
M.:
As thoughts arise,
destroying them utterly without any residue
in the very place of their origin
is non-attachment.
Just as the pearl-diver ties a stone to his waist,
sinks to the bottom of the sea
and there takes the pearls,
so each one of us
should be endowed with non-attachment,
dive within oneself
and obtain the Self-Pearl.

squotes 3.1
The death of desire happens in Satsang, but this is mind only.
Do not fear.
Persist, persevere, stay here and let your mind die.
Stay here and overcome this death.
Don´t give your mind anymore company.
Don´t be a coward.
Invite death to come and you´ll be Eternal.
You have only two choices:
Allow your mind to live, or let your Self live.
This is your decision.

============
THE MIND IS MAYA
The mind is maya. Reality lies
beyond the mind. So long as the mind functions there is duality, maya, etc. Once it is transcended the Reality shines forth. Although it is said to shine forth Self-effulgence is the Self.

" I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life...Jesus said this.
A human being has the potential to reach that level of insight, in order to say these words without pretense, that...'I Am That!...I am the way!...there isn't a way apart from me, except as a projection.
I am that way!...I am that Truth!
I am not the one you are going to find and keep.
I am the One who is always here!...and I am the Life!...I am not someone living life...I am Life itself!
What a realization!..."

Everything in this universe, person, place or thing, everything, your body, your thoughts, creation, God, everything you can think about, everything, and I mean everything, is a projection of your mind.
If you really understand this, how can you have a problem?
But you may say, "Well, my rent's due on the first and I don't have any money, so how can this help me?"
You would be amazed at what it does for you. Do the trees lack for leaves? Do the flowers fail to bloom? If you could
realize the truth, that everything is an emanation of your mind, you would become yourself, and yourself is
omnipresence. It includes everything for the survival of your body. Think about that.
Your body comes from your mind. But as long as you believe your body is yourself, and you understand that it comes out of your mind, it will be provided for, just like leaves are provided for the trunk of the tree. So this teaching is quite predictable and it can be used to improve your human-hood, not by trying to improve your human hood directly, that's where you've got problems, but by forgetting about your human-hood and realizing everything
is a mental projection.
Again what happens?
When you realize that the whole universe is a manifestation of your mind you become
omnipresence. And in the omnipresence is contained all of your needs, and all of your needs are met from within.
But when you start worrying or thinking about it, you spoil it. Then you have to do human things to take care of you.
But if you leave the human-hood alone, and go back to the understanding that it's all in your mind, you automatically let go of your mind, and the self takes over, bringing the right people into your life, the right situation, the right address.
Remember again, your body came to this earth because of karma. And it's going to go through whatever is has to go through. But you've got absolutely nothing to do with that because you are not your body. But if you think about it you spoil it.
Subsequently, allow your body to do whatever it came here to do. Do not
interfere. Do not fight. Simply observe. Do not react. You will be okay.

What we truly ARE is the everlasting, unchanging moment which merely witnesses the play of changing relationships that we call life.

How can you find true happiness? For happiness, no positive action is necessary or even possible. Turn yourself inward as the pure, impersonal witness, and you will rest in your true BEINGNESS in utter peace and tranquility. Happiness will become irrelevant.

"I"
When we look with the "I" we dream.
When we look for the "I" we awaken.
~ Mooji ~
======
There is no such thing as realising the Self. How is one to realise or make real what is real? People all realise, or regard as real, what is unreal, and all they have to do is to give that up. When you do that you will remain as you always are and the Real will be Real. It is only to help people give up regarding the unreal as real that all the religions and the practices taught by them have come into being.

मृत्यु के क्षण में लोग तड़फते क्यों हैं?
🔥मृत्यु के क्षण में लोग तड़फते क्यों हैं?
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖
तुमने किसी पक्षी को मरते देखा ? ऐसे सरल, ऐसे सहज, चुपचाप विदा हो जाता है! पंख भी नहीं फड़फड़ाता। शोरगुल भी नहीं मचाता। पक्षी तो इतने चुपचाप विदा हो जाते हैं, इतनी सरलता से विदा हो जाते हैं! ज़रा नोच-खचोंट नहीं। ज़रा शोरगुल नहीं। तुमने पशुओं को मरते देखा? मौत में भी एक अपूर्व शांति होती है।
आदमी को मरते देखो--कितना उपद्रव मचाता है, कितना रोकने की अपने को चेष्टा करता है! क्या होगा कारण? कारण हैः जिंदगी व्यर्थ गई और मौत आ गई। अब आगे कोई समय न बचा। खाली आए खाली गए, कुछ भराव नहीं और यह मौत आ गई। तड़फे न आदमी तो क्या करे ?
भरे हुए आदमी ही शांति से मर सकते हैं। हां, बुद्ध विदा होते हैं शांति से, उल्लास से, उमंग से; जैसे किसी प्यारी यात्रा पर जाते हों! ज़रा भी क्षण-भर को भी, कण-भर को भी मोह नहीं होता इस तट से बंधे रहने का। छोड़ देते अपनी नाव उस पार जाने को। खोल देते अपने पंख। विराट की पुकार आ गई, आवाज आ गई, संदेश आ गया। रुकना कैसा? फिर इस तट को खूब जी लिया, मन भर कर जी लिया जी भरकर जी लिया! इस तट के गीत भी सुन लिए, इस तट का गीत भी गा लिया। इस तट के नृत्य भी देख लिए, इस तट का नाच भी नाच लिया। इस तट पर जो भी सुंदर था, जो भी मूल्यवान था, सबका स्वाद ले लिया। जाने की घड़ी आ ही गई। अब और तटों पर होंगे। अब और नृत्य और गीत उठेंगे। अब और दीए जलेंगे। एक उल्लास है। एक जाने की तत्परता है। अगर गीत न गाया गया हो तो मुश्किल खड़ी होती है।
मृत्यु पीड़ा है, क्योंकि गीत गाया नहीं गया है। गीत गाने की तो बात दूर, साज भी टूट गया है। वीणा के तार भी उखड़ गए हैं। वाद्य भी विकृत हो गया है। आवाज भी मर गई है। यह आवाज जो गीत गाने को दी गई थी, गालियां देते-देते मर गई है। ये प्राण जो प्रार्थना के लिए दिए थे, इनका प्रार्थना से तो कोई संबंध ही न जुड़ा; ये तो पद-प्रतिष्ठा की आपा-धापी में ही टूट गए हैं, उखड़ गए हैं। ये धड़कनें जो परमात्मा के साथ नाचने के लिए थीं, इन्हें तो बड़े सस्ते में बाजार में बेच आए हो।
आत्मा बेच कर मरते हैं लोग, तो रोते हुए मरते हैं। अपना गीत तो निश्चित गाना है। और यह गीत तुम्हारे गाए नहीं गाया जा सकता। तुम्हें राह देनी है कि परमात्मा गा सके। और यह गीत जब गाया जाता है तो पता चलता है अपना है न पराया है, उसका है।
