CONVERSATIONS WITH ANNAMALAI SWAMI

In the peace of the Self, there are no vasanas. If you can establish yourself in the Self, all vasanas will be destroyed. 

Witness the vasanas as they arise but don't identify with them or act on them. If you want to get rid of your vasanas you must learn to practice non-involvement. 

If you feel yourself identifying with a vasana when it starts to rise, remind yourself. 'This vasana is not me' and withdraw into the Self. If you learn to ignore your vasanas in this way they will eventually stop rising.

- Living by the Words of Bhagavan, p. 346

Don't be so quick to believe in the mind’s projections.

You are not the mind.

Don't come under its spell.

The mind is a great magician.

It has hypnotised 7 billion human beings.

In the realm of personhood, it is full of tricks and has the power to make a lot of mischief, confusion, distortion and delusion. 

But yours is a greater power. It is the power of the pure Self. 

The power to observe with detachment, to recognise that all phenomena are transient appearances and that oneself is the formless witness—timeless and ever-perfect.

Sometimes you’re not entirely sure where to fit in, just how to be, or exactly where you belong. It’s so hard to squeeze inside all their tight spaces at just the right intervals. You’re ahead of your time and too pure for the future, yet in this moment unrestricted you find the innermost place that is true to your very being and where you shine unforgettably. So keep becoming who you are, timeless being…for this momentary world needs such endless beauty that is in you.

There is no one on this earth who does anything. 

The whole universe is a puppet show. 

We're dancing the dance of Shiva. 

We think we're something important. But we're really nothing as we appear. 

Your job is to observe, to watch, to see what's going on and not to react to anything that is happening but to stay separate from the happenings. To separate yourself from what is happening. 

What's happening is happening to the 'I', to the ego, not to you.

~ Robert Adams

Give up contemplating anything 

and hold nothing in your heart.... 

You are verily the Self and therefore free.... What will you do by thinking!!!

Ashtavakra said....

One who knows for certain 

that this universe is but 

an illusion and a nothing, 

becomes desire less 

and pure Intelligence, 

and finds peace as if nothing exists....
