notes 4.1

Nurtureoneslife:

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

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’.

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. 

~ Devikalottara

Do not allow your mind to wander here and there; endeavor to make it one-pointed; have one single end in view. ~ Sri Anandamayi Ma

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.

When you realize you are not the doer, guilt drops and you can repose in your self.

When you realize you are not the doer, guilt drops and you can repose in your self.

There is no such thing as a Self-realized person.

A person does not remain a person after Self-realization.

Through knowledge, you can only pretend to know Truth.

True knowledge is freedom from knowledge itself, after it has disappeared into the vacancy of a fasting mind.

Beloved please listen :

It is not wise to compare your life to that of others, for each life stream is unique and is the expression of pure spirit and Being. Know within your heart that your Life is tailor-made for awakening in response to the will of the Supreme Being. Even if greatest hardship comes your way, don't complain, judge or fall into self-pity. Don't waste energy like this. Rather, use the same difficulties and circumstances to sharpen your powers of discernment and to intensify your drive for liberation and freedom from all psychological conditioning and evil forces. You are here as life itself flowing towards it's own divine source. Regard your life as auspicious.

Mooji    in " White Fire ".

Amado por favor, ouça:

Não é sábio você comparar sua vida com a dos outros, pois cada fluxo de vida é único e é a expressão do puro Espirito, do puro Ser. Saiba dentro do seu coração que a sua vida é feita, sob medida, para despertar e responder à vontade deste Ser Supremo.  Mesmo se uma enorme dificuldade surgir em seu caminho, não se queixe,  nem julgue e nem caia na auto-piedade. Não gaste energia como isso. Em vez disso, use as mesmas dificuldades e circunstâncias para aguçar seus poderes de discernimento e intensificar a sua unidade de liberação, para liberta-lo de todo o condicionamento psicológico e das forças do mal. Você está aqui como Vida, fluindo em direção a sua própria fonte divina. Reconheça e respeite a sua vida como auspiciosa. 

Mooji em "White Fire".
