Help others

From ~~~ Letters from Sri Ramanasramam, Ch.218.

Questioner:
Can a Jnani help not only those who follow his path
but also others who follow other paths?

Sri Ramana Maharshi :

Undoubtedly.
He can help people whatever path
they choose to follow.

It is something like this.
Suppose there is a hill.
There will be very many paths to climb it.

If he were to ask people to climb by the way he came,
some may like it and some may not.

If people who do not like it are asked to climb by that path,
and by that path only, they will not be able to come up.

Hence a Jnani helps people following any particular path
whatever it may be.

People who are midway may not know about
the merits and demerits of other paths,

but one who has climbed the summit
and sits there observing others coming up
is able to see all the paths.

He will therefore be able
to tell people who are coming up
to move a little to this side
or that or to avoid a pitfall.

The goal is the same for all,
you see.

Life

Throughout your life, This has always been Here;  each time you rest, the break between your sentences, each time you sat for break, your Being subsides and takes rest from Here. In deep sleep it subsides into Here, but It still has the urge to arise again from Here. But now, consciously you are Self-aware. Consciously you are Self-aware. The more you give energy to really, sometimes just step aside from the haste and just confirm yourSelf Here, BE in It,  and It begins to manifest even in your dynamic life like a subtle current of Joy, a vibration of Real Love and Peace. And, It will keep expanding in the dynamic realm also while Itself is always stable. They are not different. Its one. Its one playing as two and many. But now you're conscious.
I said once, "We wake up from sleep each morning, from sleep and dreams, but to truly awaken we must wake up from the waking state also." And, what I was implying by waking up...you are awake phenomenally, but you are asleep to the truth of who you are.  This exersize has really brought us again into Conscious Awakening of what IS. You cannot describe It. Nobody can write a book about This. You can only BE. Books are written in the dynamic realm; from the bridge of Being, they can be written. Sometimes also, from the realm of the person. But in the Absolute State, you can only BE.
  Bless that each one really takes it upon themself to really care for their seeing ; to assimilate it, to take care of it, to love it, to value that. Don't be in a hurry to share anything at all. Marinate like a child just resting in its mother's arms. Just remain with this. Inwardly, just be fixed upon the seeing of BEING. That's all. No procrastinating, no projecting, no! Just this. Watch how the fountain of Life is full of nutrients like Love and Peace and Openness and lack of fear. This can be your life from now. This is why I am taking the time to emphasize over and over again because, something would like you to treat it like some kind of...easy come, easy go.

Here now

How long shall I walk with you to take you where you already are....
It can take 0 time, 0 distance.
Or it can take years and years of searching, hours of meditation, thousands of kilometers to cover and several lifetimes and even then, never reach the destination.
You choose. Why not here and now?
Don't listen to your mind.
You are Life.
All that you are "seeing" is your life journey.
But I'm not here for any journeys.
I'm here for which has no beginning nor ending.

Be it

There's a Light that shines from your Heart. This is the Light of the world itself. Don't let your mind hide it. Now you can understand these words and what they point to in you. So, your life is auspicious  for anyone who is drawn to God, to Truth, to Self-Realization. Then, this life is already auspicious. Its blessed. You, who are discovering  already, not merely intellectually, but directly, the Spirit of Being, the Holy Spirit, the Purity of the Self. Take care of your Realization. Respect it. Acknowledge it. Be grateful for it. Love it. Live it. BE it.

Consciousness

"We know the outer world of sensations and actions, but of our inner world of thoughts and feelings we know very little. The primary purpose of meditation is to become conscious of, and familiar with, our inner life. The ultimate purpose is to reach the source of life and consciousness. Incidentally, practice of meditation affects deeply our character. We are slaves to what we do not know, of what we know we are masters. Whatever vice or weakness in ourselves we discover and understand its causes and its workings, we overcome it by the very knowing, the unconscious dissolves when brought into the conscious. The dissolution of the unconscious releases energy, the mind feels adequate and becomes quiet."

You Are Love

Falling in love you remain a child; rising in love you mature. And by and by love becomes not a relationship, it becomes a state of your being. Then it is not that you love this and you don't love that, no --- you are simply love. whatsoever comes near you, you share with them. whatsoever is happening, you give your love to it. You touch the rock and you touch as if you are touching your beloved's body. you look at the tree and you look as if you are looking at your beloved's face. It becomes a state of being. Not that you are in love --- now you ARE love. This is rising, this not falling.

Misery

The movement of life is not dependent on us. But we are so frightened of its uncertainties, of what might happen, we feel so utterly lost that we resort to some or other prejudice, belief or preconcieved notions and consequently lead a miserable life full of pretensions, illusions based on them.

To be free of this misery, vedanta ask us to be just a witness so that we just sit and watch and let emotions and thoughts rise and fall by themselves while we are merely aware of them. This is the state of immanence which leads us to self knowledge by way of direct perception.
