notes 4.4

Nurtureoneslife:

All you need to do is recognize your true position as the witness. You only have to do this for some time, until the spell is broken. Even after the spell is broken these mental tendencies may arise, but without any power, just like you can see the moon in the daylight. ~Mooji

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 )

Most look at what the 'I' suffers but few look at the 'I' itself. Mooji

Silence is the wine in which you will be drunk forever.

In this Silence you know and love all Beings.

With that wine you can drink anywhere, 

and when you drink you cannot speak.

Stay in the experience, surrender to It.

To taste bliss forget all other tastes

and drink the wine served within. 

~ Papaji

This world is a mere illusion seen in the deluded objective sight of the ego, which is simply the 'l-am-the-body' idea. 

In the sight of Self-Knowledge, however, it is as false as the apparent blueness in the sky.

Guru Vachaka Kovai

Abidance or meditation in the ‘I am’ is a process by which attention is kept focused on the substratum instead of the names and forms that are habitually imposed on it.

When you abide in the ‘I am’ ignorance vanishes. Ignorance is not knowing the ‘I am’ in its absolute purity.

Don’t regard the abidance in the ‘I am’ as a part-time activity. You must have a life long commitment to get yourself established in it.

Excerpts from Living by the Words of Bhagavan

When we quest within our mind ‘Who am I?’ and reach the Heart, 

‘I’ topples down and immediately another entity will reveal itself proclaiming ‘I-I’. 

Even though it also emerges saying ‘I’, it does not connote the ego, but the One Perfect Existence.

- Sri Ramana Maharshi
